How Can Daily Value Percentages (€DV) Guide You in Transitioning to a Healthier Diet?

Daily Value Percentages (€DV) on nutrition labels can be very helpful when you're trying to eat healthier. Here’s how they help me:

  • Portion Control: €DV shows what part of your daily intake a serving has. This helps you see if you’re getting too much of certain nutrients. For example, if a snack has 20% DV of fat, I know I should be careful.

  • Balanced Choices: I look for foods that have 5% or less of €DV for saturated fat, sugars, and sodium. For vitamins, I want to see more than 20%.

  • Track Progress: As I change my diet, I check these percentages to make sure I'm hitting my nutrition goals and not going overboard.

Using €DV helps me stay aware of what I eat and makes healthy eating feel less scary!
