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.)
