VISUAL NUTRITION TABLE
EXTENDED CHAPTER | 21-04-2015
What is more: a pound of sugar or a pound of potatoes? You might say that these are equal amounts. After all, a pound is a pound. But now take a look at the calories: those certainly do make a difference. One pound of sugar contains 2010 calories, whereas one pound of potatoes only accounts for 420 calories. Our food is deceptive. Something might look like a small snack, but could contain the same number of calories as a full dinner. Wouldn’t it be convenient to have a visual nutrition table that shows you how much you really eat? It would certainly leave more of a clear impression than the usual list of nutritional values.
Calculation after weighing the product:
