My breakfast this morning |
I decided to compare the nutritional facts of my old trashy breakfast with my new trashless one. Below are the results.
You'll also notice that I have excluded the percent daily value numbers. I simply despise the way the FDA has encorporated the percent daily value numbers onto food labels so that it is the only thing most people look at. Especially for myself, a 5'0 tall woman, a 2000 calorie diet is about 1.4 times what I should be consuming. Also, the FDA conveniently does not require food producers and manufacturers to include a percent daily value for sugar intake. I find that a complete disgrace, and I think it is highly motivated by the fact that most food manufacturers incorporate far too much sugar into their products. Active provides a handy nutritional needs calculator on their website, so you can find your personal daily values there and calculate your percentages accordingly.
