* How to Use Our Nutrition Information |
|
Print this Recipe The key to healthy eating is a varied diet including many fruits, vegetables and grains. The detailed nutrition information at the end of each Bake-Off® recipe can help you estimate the contribution of specific recipes in your overall menu plan. At the end of each recipe, we list the calories per serving as well as the amount of protein, carbohydrate, fat and sodium. If you are following a medically prescribed diet, consult your physician or registered dietitian about this nutrition information. Organize all of your own recipes with the Cook'n Recipe Software. Watch and see how easy it is! HOW TO CALCULATE NUTRITION INFORMATION To determine a serving size for calculating nutrients for a recipe, we base our analysis on a single unit (for example, 1 cookie) or a specific amount (1 cup). Other considerations for calculating nutrition information are: * The first ingredient mentioned when the recipe gives options--for example, if "butter or margarine" is listed, butter would be calculated * The larger amount of an ingredient when there's a range * Garnishing or "if desired" ingredients when included in the ingredient list * The estimated amount of marinade or frying oil absorbed during preparation TAILORING YOUR DAILY DIET The following chart outlines some average daily nutritional needs for moderately active adults. Since your sex, age, size and activity level all affect dietary considerations, your requirements may deviate from those shown here. What You Women Women Men Need Daily..........Age: 25-50............Over 50..........25-50 Calories..................2200...................1900.............2900 Total Fat...................72g or less...........63.................97 Saturated Fat........24g or less............21................32 Cholesterol.........300mg or less.......300..............300 Sodium................2400mg..................2400............2400 Calcium.................800mg....................800..............800 Iron..........................15mg......................10................10 (Note: Although individual needs vary, a 2000-calorie diet is used as the reference diet on packaging because it approximates average daily requirements and provides a round number for easier calculating.)
