Know What You Eat: Know Your Nutrition Facts

I came across a new interesting website today. It's amazing and is really beneficial for your daily life and food/nutrition planning. It gives you the information that you want to know about each food item that you take on a daily basis in the simple terms that you can understand. It also tells you if the food has a positive or negative impact on our health if taken in combination with other food items or depending upon how you plan your diet. I think everyone should plan their diet properly to be fit and healthy. I am on my way to be fit and healthy :). I just hope not everyone starts so late... So if you have not been following up with your health ..not doing any exercises ... doing groceries without knowing how much nutrition value each item has ... I think it's high time you should start doing it now. It's always better starting late than never.

So I stumbled upon http://www.nutritiondata.com. It's a site where you can go and look for a particular food item including cereals, fruits, vegetables etc and check their nutrition facts. For example if you eat cooked rice ... see what nutrition it gives you for a bowl of rice...



It tells you get 169 calories per serving of one bowl with no fat and some dietary fiber and some protein. It also tells you that the fullness factor is 2.4 tells an indication of how much full you will feel after having just 1 bowl of cooked rice but at the same time it's not in green zone of target map so it might not be a great meal alone in terms of nutrition.But it's good on calorie ration which is good in terms of carb as you are not accumulating any fat. The glysmic value tells you how much impact this food will have on your blood sugar level.The inflammation factor tells you how positive is this food when eaten alone.

Similarly it also gives you an idea of what is the proten quality contained in this food item and how complete is this item in terms of nutrients gain in the body.



If you want you can also see an in-depth detail of all nutrients contained in the item.


Isn't all this information great?
