Nutrition label software reports how many calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber and sodium are in a certain food. There's a free product that I use that can figure it all out for you. For instance, here's the nutrition stats on a 100 gram serving of "Almonds" which is classified as a good fat. Nutrition label software will find this for you in seconds.

Almonds

Calories 578
Protein 21.26 grams
Carbs 19.74 grams [4.8 g sugars]
Fat 50.64 grams [3.88 g saturates]
Fiber 11.8 grams
Sodium 0 grams

This took no time at all to find out and it all happens on your computer desktop. The product is provided free by a company called "kelpiesoft" and you'll be amazed at what it can do. There's filters to fine tune your search and the food variety is endless. Every food group is covered from baby food to ethnic dishes and even fast food.

The convenience of knowing how much saturated fat is in the food you eat makes you think twice since this bad fat creates cholesterol that sticks to arteries and organs and creates all kinds of problems. Counting calories is a regular routine on any diet plan and nutrition label software information like protein and carbohydrate levels in food is valuable when planning a fat loss program.

Here's another example:

White Tuna Canned in Water

Calories 220
Protein 40.63 grams
Carbs 0 grams
Fat 5.11 grams [1.36 saturated]
Fiber 0 grams
Sodium .09 grams


The road to proper nutrition starts with knowing what you eat. You probably know that potato chips contain fat and egg yolks cholesterol , but to learn just how much of something—good or bad—a food contains, you have to be able to read and understand the nutrition labels present on nearly all foods.

The type and amount of nutrition information found on food labels can sometimes be confusing or difficult to understand. There's a very good video on shopping smart in the supermarket presented by the American Cancer Society. It boggles the mind trying to decipher food labels and this video gives you some great tips on how to shop for food wisely.

The “Nutrition Facts” labels on most foods provide important information about serving sizes and the number of servings contained within a single package. For example, even though most soft drink consumers drink an entire 12- or 16-ounce container at one time, most soft drink labels identify the contents as two or more servings.

With This Food Nutrition label software you can dissect any food you like and get the details that will help you on the road to safe and healthy eating while burning fat at the same time.
