Weight Loss & Nutrition Labels
One of the keys to Weight Loss Success is knowing how to read nutrition labels. Even though a food may contain a good bit of fat grams, it doesn't always mean that it's the worst choice. You have to look at the entire nutrition picture. Look for sodium content, fat content, carb content and calorie content.
Many dieters steer away from foods that contain a fair amount of calories, and that may be a mistake in the overall scheme of dieting. Example: Nellie eats a low calorie sandwich containing 250 calories for lunch, and a pack of baked chips for an additional 150 calories bringing her total calories to 400.

Joe decides to enjoy a junior cheeseburger for lunch that contains 350 calories, and he adds on a package of baked chips, bringing his total calorie intake to 500 calories for lunch.
Two hours later, Nellie is hit with the miserable hungries while Joe is feeling pretty good 'this afternoon'. Because his burger contained a bit of fat, he remains satisfied. Nellie's hungries get the better of her, and she ends up purchasing a package of cupcakes from the vending machine that contain 40 more calories than her entire lunch did, bringing her total 'lunch calories' to 840.
This example is intended to demonstrate that some fat in the diet isn't a bad thing - and our bodies do indeed need fat to achieve Nutrition Efficiency. On the other hand, keep in mind that fat does clog the arteries, so use your good sense along with a good diet plan.
