When it comes to effective weight loss it pays to be savvy. There are many more things to consider than just counting and comparing fat content. And while total energy (kj) is another good guide, other factors should be taken into account for satiety, effective elimination and nutrient density:
Carbohydrate-rich foods such as bread, rice pasta and breakfast cereals should be examined for their total energy, fibre and GI ranking
Dairy foods should be examined for their fat and total energy
Sweet drinks and preserves should be examined for their the total energy and sugar content.
Get to know what to look for and making better choices will be much easier.
