You can also read Mastering Food Portion Control — a one-page guide from the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Log in to the tracker for access to the handout.
If you need more information on reading labels, you can read How To Make Sense of Food Labels
And if you really want to sink your teeth into reading food labels, the US FDA has more detailed information here: How to Understand and Use the Nutrition Facts Label
