But, its only 100 calories?!
That was the response of one of the dedicated clients. She has been consuming these "low-fat" crackers as her daily snack. I commended her for looking at the calorie content, but she neglected to look at the "Serving Size". This is often over-looked and can lead to excess calorie consumption.
The manufacturer cleverly wrapped 5 crackers into a single package. So, one can easily assume that 5 crackers is 100 calories. Au contraire, we looked at the Serving Size and it stated one serving size is 2.5 crackers.(Who eats .5 of a cracker???)
So, that single package of 5 crackers was not 100 calories, but 200 calories.
Let's watch the Serving Size, it could be a huge determining factor when reaching our goals!!!
