Detailed explanation-1: -Using the ‘per 100g’ or ‘per 100mL’ column of the nutrition information panel on food packages is the best way to compare similar products.
Detailed explanation-2: -If comparing nutrients in similar food products use the per 100g column. If calculating how much of a nutrient, or how many kilojoules you will actually eat, use the per serve column. But check whether your portion size is the same as the serve size.
Detailed explanation-3: -The calorie and nutrient content of single ingredients and individual foods can usually be found in the USDA’s National Nutrient Database. In addition, most packaged foods list information in the Nutrition Facts panel.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Food Nutrient Index (FNI), based on foods and beverages alone, is calculated identically to the TNI without the nutrient contributions from DS, making it equivalent to the TNI for individuals who do not use DS (2).
Detailed explanation-5: -All information on the nutrition label is based on a specific amount of food, referred to as the serving size. The serving size allows you to: understand how much of a nutrient you are eating. compare nutrients and calories between two similar food products.
