Food labels and nutrition facts: What do they really mean?
Nutrition Facts panel: Serving size = 2 cookies, Calories = 110, Fiber = 2 g, Calcium = 2%
Peek at the serving size and consider whether you want to “spend” 110 calories on two small cookies. For about the same number of calories, you could eat five dried figs. That amount would supply 4 grams of fiber, which is twice what you’d get in these cookies, and 7 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for calcium, compared with just 2 percent DV in the cookies. You’d also be eating closer to nature, which is always smart.
