Are you supermarket-savvy? Food labels can often be misleading: What's "low-fat" may not be weight-friendly and some "reduced-calorie" products can actually be quite unhealthy. Time to read between the lines and investigate those food labels claims the next time you go shopping for groceries. Here is a list of nutritional information to help you decide on your purchases.

Fat labels

Don't assume that because a food is "low fat", you can eat as much as you want. Serving size counts too: Note the portion size used in the nutritional information you see on the food packages. If the serving size is 100g, and you consume 200g, remember that the amount of calories, fat and sugar doubles too.

Label	What it means
Reduced fat	25% less fat than regular full fat product
Light (lite)	50% less fat than regular full fat product
Low fat	One serving has fewer than 3g of fat
Fat-free	One serving has fewer than 0.5g of fat
