How much?
So how much is a lot or a little?
For foods that you eat in large amounts, like ready meals, look
at the ‘amount per serving’. For snacks, and other foods you eat in
smaller amounts, look at the ‘per serving’ information.
The table below gives you a rough guide to the quantities, any
food that meets or exceeds the amounts in the ‘A lot’ column you
should really leave on the shelf, apart from the fibre which is
better to have a ‘a lot’ than a little.
