Poll of the Day: Do You Actually Read Nutrition Labels?
Replies
-
I don't when I'm shopping but I do before I eat it. Then I go HOLY S&*T and eat it anyways, work around the cals for the day, and NEVER buy it again0
-
Absolutely. I don't buy a lot of stuff with labels, but I compare at the store: and I enter all my own nutrition stats or use the site default (Admin-entered, not other member-entered) data for whole foods, so I know what the nutrition stats are in the foods I put in my food diary.0

I started doing it a week ago, and plan on continuing!0
-
Considering this is a calorie counting website I would assume most people do. And yes I've payed attention to them for the last 5-6 years.0
-
I think I've looked up dang near everything I eat.0
-
Yes, I do. But I pay more attention to the 'Ingredients' list. If there are more than a few ingredients that I can't pronounce, I'll find something else....
Same here. I will check the serving size and then go right to ingredients.0 -
ALL the time...even when I don't necessarily want to. My eyes go right to it now!! It's actually good though, many a time I have had a tasty *little treat* in my hand ready to put in my grocery cart... saw something horrifying on the label...and thrown that baby down! LOL! And I think in terms of * this would be a half hour or turbofire!...yuck!*. LOL.0

All the time. Even on foods I have no interest in eating but am just curious.0
-
Yup. Everything.0
-
Absolutely. I look for a variety of things, but the deal breaker if I am comparing like products is usually sodium.0
-
Yeah, I don't buy anything without reading it, even if it's not for me or I'm just curious0
-
Hell yes, I am not buying something until I look at that label.0
-
Yes!0
-
Yes and it drives anyone shopping with me nuts.0
-
I can seriously be in the store for over an hour picking up 5 things because im reading labels... my label reading has ventured into none food items now... FML lol0
-
I always do and what bothers me the most is the serving sizes. Nobody eats a half a can of soup and the drink packets say there are two servings. Right like i am going to put half a packet of drink mix in my water. Please ....0

YES! I'm careful about sodium and watchful for high fructose corn syrup, or lots of sugar in low fat items, and it's hidden in the weirdest places sometimes. I generally just skim for calories, sodium, sugars and protein0
-
YES!!! AND I taught my 14 year old son to do the same- when choosing between two products, he holds one and I the other in order to see which is "best".0
-
Absolutely. (It annoys my boyfriend sometimes. ^_^)
If I can help it, I want to know what I'm eating. I used to just read calories and carbs. Now, in addition, I also check out sodium, saturated fats, and scan ingredients lists to see what's hidden in my food.0 -
Absolutely. I look for a variety of things, but the deal breaker if I am comparing like products is usually sodium.0
