Need an Interpreter?

These days, there are so many ways of displaying the calories, fats and nutrients on the back of food products, that interpreting them sometimes needs a degree. This is especially true when things like alcoholic drinks don't even have numbers on the back! So counting those calories becomes even more difficult and easy to lose track of.

If you know you're off out and will have a couple of glasses of wine, remembering whether they are small glasses or big ones, how many you really had and therefore how many calories that is to add to your food during the day, all becomes too much.

That's where you need to count calories carefully and keep a track on them - even when you are out!
