How To Plan An Effective Diet Using Nutrition Data On Food Packaging

By Marion Peters


If you are on a diet program, it is understandable that you will be required to watch what you eat keenly.

While it may seem as if this is very complicated an undertaking, in actual practice it can be easy to keep to strict guidelines set on your diet regimen.

This guide shows you how to work your diet plan by using the nutrition data given on food packages.

Quite predictably, the foremost concern among many dieters is whether they can have a diet plan that only includes the necessary calories.

This is a noble concern though it does not address all the pertinent issues.

 Even if your diet fits the maximum calory intake parameters aptly, it is still unsatisfactory without balanced nutritional content.

Your diet program will come with specific guidelines showing recommended levels for your nutritional requirements.

To make sure you keep track and eat within limits of the program daily, consider keeping a journal to outline what you take on a daily basis.

The journal should ideally take the form of a table with about five columns.

On each day's schedule, set the main nutritional elements you need to keep watch on in the first column of your table or spreeadsheet.

To allow for variety of foods for each nutritional element, leave at least three or four rows blank before indicating the next nutritional element.

The next column should be used to indicate the daily intake recommended for each nutrient with the rest of the columns being devoted to showing how much of the nutrients will be taken in each meal.

For each day, you will need to plan a set of nutritional elements as set out in your diet guide.

Indicate the first element such as carbohydrates on the first column and leave four or five rows blank before indicating the next nutrient.

Transfer the daily recommended intake against each nutrient in the second column of the journal.

The other columns will be used to indicate amount set for each meal.

The blank rows shown after each nutritional element should be used to indicate food items to be taken that day to meet the allotted nutrients.

After setting the amount for the main meals, the deficit can be distributed for the snacks and drinks.

All the while you should watch the totals to keep everything within set limits.

You can plan a healthy diet with little effort. Begin by making a tabulated journal to keep track of how much of particular nutrients you take on a typical day.

The nutrition data on packaged food items will help you make the plan even easier to set in motion.
