  • How To Read Nutrition Labels For Clean Eating

    You don’t need to be a nutritionist or dietitian to make healthier food choices. When I take my clients on grocery tours, I teach them how to navigate the aisles, cut through the clever marketing, and uncover what’s really in the products they buy. In this post, I’m sharing some simple, time-saving tips on reading nutrition labels—perfect for busy mums who want to provide the best nutrition for their families. JUMP TO IDEAS ↓    CLEAN EATING GUIDE »   ALL RECIPES »   NUTRITION » How To Read Nutrition Labels For Clean Eating | Eat Nourish Glow Nutrition labels are supposed to display vital information about what's inside pre-packaged or processed foods. This includes also vital details on how many calories and nutrients are in a standard amount of the product — often a suggested single serving. The nutrition label of food items are supposed to tell you what's in the food you're buying, but in all honesty, they can be quite tricky to navigate. When you're trying to be mindful of what you and your family are consuming, the confusion nutrition labels crates can make it that much more difficult. So today, I want to share some super simple tips to help you properly read the nutrition labels and feel confident in knowing you are buying the right products for yourself. Serving Size One of the easiest ways to convince consumers into thinking a product is low-calorie, low-sugar, or low-fat is to make the serving size smaller than what anyone would typically consume. When you quickly glance at the nutrition label on your favourite snack, you might see only 5g of sugar, but you don't notice that this is only for a small handful. If you know that you typically finish a whole bag in one sitting, a serving size of one handful isn't realistic. Always look at the serving size carefully, and then you can accurately calculate how many servings you'll probably consume in one sitting. It can be useful to use you hand to compare portions size, and this is something I teach my clients as follows: your fist averages out to 1 cup which helps with portioning pasta, rice, potato or fruit your palm is useful to help portion out fish, meat, chicken and portion for your plate a handful is helpful for estimating nuts, seeds, berries and fruits two handfuls can be used to portion out fresh or cooked vegetables use you thumb to portion cheese, butter, nut butters and spreads the tip of your thumb is a teaspoon and useful for measuring dressing, oil or mayo Have you tried this before? I definitely recombined giving it go this week. Its been so helpful to many of my clients. Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) Now that you've compared the serving size to how much you'll actually eat, it is equally important to understand how much of each nutrient is in your food. The RDI of a certain macro or food source tells you how much of the recommended daily intake for each nutrient this product contains. Be especially careful of the daily value percentage of saturated fats and sugars. And remember the following: Restrict your total sugar intake to 6 teaspoons or 24 grams per day Look for high-fibre foods that help you reach the RDI of 30g of dietary fibre per day Aim for up to 56g of clean, lean protein from animal or plant-based sources Restrict carbs to under 320g per day unless following a medically prescribed diet Choose carbs that come from high-fibre sources; avoid all processed or packaged foods How do you measure up? If you haven't been taking notice of the nutrients you have been consuming the above is a super simple way to start. Nutrition Labels For Clean Eating Ingredient lists can't lie, but they can be very deceiving. If a product is advertised as "no sugar," check the ingredients to see if there are any sugar alternatives. Although these ingredients might not be white table sugar, they can still have a high sugar content— and you'll want to be vigilant when knowing what you're looking for in these ingredient lists. Click here for all the hidden names of sugar, its eye-opening! Typically, packaged product ingredients are listed in order of those that contain the highest amount to the lowest. If a product advertises that it includes something healthy like vegetables, check the ingredients to see if it's near the top or bottom of the list. If it's near the bottom, it's probably an insignificant amount. This is s sneaky loophole that allows companies to advertise a product as a "healthy" food even if the main ingredients aren't. Sugar is a top one to look out for with this type of manipulative manufacturer labelling. If it is in the top 1-5 five ingredients, I recommend you avoid it. If sugar is the first or second ingredient, this means there is a large amount of it and many times, more than what is listed on the nutritional label. Look for another option or consider making your own food item from scratch. Scrutinise Health Claims How savvy are you at this? The minute I see "high protein source" or "high fibre" plastered on the box of a cereal or other shelf product, I look the other way. And I recommend you do too. If a food company advertises any health claims on their food packaging, always take a closer look. Many of these marketing words, such as "no sugar added" or "high-fibre" or "all natural" don't mean anything concrete. These words are placed on packaging to dupe you into feeling confident that you're buying something healthy, but knowing how to read your nutrition label is the only accurate way to know for sure. And food companies are literally banking on the fact, many people never read labels. When you scrutinise the label, you'll be surprised to discover how dodgy this marketing can be! It takes some effort, but you can totally shift your grocery shopping habits very quickly by taking a few extra minutes to study the nutrition labels before you buy. Before long, you'll be a nutrition label reading pro! Healthy + happiness, Emma Lisa xx Enjoyed this post? If you enjoyed this blog post, I have a favour to ask.

I usually recommend that they keep a 3 - 5 day food and mood diary to help us assess if their food intake is an issue or not.

Creating a clean eating lifestyle and healthier body begins definitely in the kitchen.

Whether you choose to gradually replace junks foods foods as they run out, or go all in one afternoon with a full pantry makeover, this clean eating guide is going to help you round up the weight-loss friendly groceries that are essential for healthy, clean eating. Step 1: Clean Eating Pantry Before you can stock up on healthy, clean eating groceries, you need to make space for them. This is where a good pantry clear-out comes in. You might be surprised by how many items on your shelves are packed with hidden sugars, unhealthy fats, or preservatives that no longer align with your goals. The key here is to be intentional about what stays and what goes; if it nourishes, keep it. If not, donate or bin it. What to Toss (or Reconsider): Start by learning how to the read food labels, and set aside anything that contains high amounts of sugar, refined carbs, or artificial additives. Here are some common unhealthy items you may want to toss out to get started: sugary snacks  – biscuits, store-bought pastries, pre-packaged desserts, fruit bars, and cakes cola and sweetened drinks  – cordials, fizzy drinks, sports drinks, flavoured waters highly processed sauces  – barbecue sauce, simmer sauces, sweet salad dressings or tomato sauce refined grains  – white bread, white rice, regular pasta, prepacked biscuits and flavoured snacks You don’t have to eliminate everything at once, but becoming more mindful of what’s in your clean eating kitchen can help curb those mindless snacking habits. Once you’ve made space, you’ll be ready to restock with much healthier choices. If you need a little help with this, you might find this blog post helpful, The Super Simple Way To Read Nutrition Labels .

These foods will not only nourish your body, but also better stabilise your blood sugar, improve gut health, energy, and keep you naturally feeling fuller for longer. Get out your notepad and write these clean eating grocery list suggestions down to help you with your clean eating pantry overhaul. Whole Grains & High-Fibre Dry Goods Restock your healthy, clean eating pantry by swapping out any processed grains for more wholesome options. Instead of white rice, pasta and white bread or buns, try more wholesome, fibre-rich alternatives such as those made with quinoa, brown rice, rolled or steel cut oats, or rice bran. Go for clean, wholefood ingredients over the overly processed choices wherever possible. Here are some healthy, clean eating grains and staples to stock up on: grains and flour  – almond, buckwheat, quinoa, brown rice, oats (steel-cut or rolled), whole wheat pasta; you can also blend oats, nuts and seeds to make your own homemade, healthy flour bread  – whole wheat bread, sprouted grain wraps, low carb rice/corn cakes, or whole grain crackers legumes – lentils, black beans, chickpeas for added dietary fibre and added protein nuts and seeds  – almonds, cashews, chis seeds, flaxseed, LSA, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds rice  – brown rice, couscous, gluten-free, quinoa, vegetable pasta instead of white rice or pasta An easy way to replace processed dry pasta, is with a vegetable spiraliser using all kinds of veggies to make more nutritious, lower carb, and vitamin-rich noodles. You can easily spiral beets, butternut squash, carrot, cucumber, parsnip, pumpkin, sweet potato, and zucchini. These all go nicely served raw in fresh salads or lightly stir fried with your favourite pasta sauces and seasonings such as zucchini bolognaise. Clean Eating Baking Ingredients In the baking aisle, instead of reaching for processed flours for homemade baking, stock up your clean eating pantry with healthy basics that provide more nourishment and nutrients. This can be as simple as trying a few of the following swaps: make your own flour – blend or grind almonds, cashews, oats or quinoa flakes in the blender add in healthy ingredients – add extra fibre or hidden veggies to cake, muffin or cookie mixes healthy oils – choose avocado, coconut, grape seed, and hemp seed oils which are healthier than canola, vegetable or sunflower herbs and seasoning – stock up on dried and ground spices such as ginger, cinnamon, and other herbal blends to flavour meals instead of sugar No one is saying you can't have cake and muffins and eat clean , if you enjoy baking. For example, there are many ways you can easily turn chocolate cake mix into a healthier, homemade version just by adding in grated apple (sweetness), spinach (nutrients) and rolled oats (fibre) to the mix. Another example is using rolled oats and little coconut oil in chocolate chip cookie mix to slow the impact of sugar; or try making them with sugar-free chocolate chips. Turn plain vanilla cake mix into a simple carrot cake by adding your own grated carrot, pear and a pinch of cinnamon to flavour it. As you can see, once you become focused on clean eating , you can easily begin to boost the fibre content of any baking recipe with whoelfood ingredients; just add chia seeds, ground flax or rolled oats. I promise in many cases, you and kids won't even notice the healthier ingredients, but your body sure will, and will thank you for it! Clean Eating Fresh Produce A must-have staple on the clean eating grocery list is, of course, fresh fruits and vegetables. These can be fresh or frozen, and prepared in endless ways in clean eating recipes to provide you with a well-balanced, high-fibre diet. Be sure to pack the fridge and freezer with a variety of the following: brightly coloured fruits – stock up on apples, avocado, bananas, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, kiwi, lemons, mango, melon, mulberries, oranges, pears and plums colourful vegetables – fresh veggies like beetroot, butternut squash, capsicums, carrots, corn, eggplant, purple cabbage, pumpkin, red onions, radishes, and sweet potato frozen produce – don't overlook frozen, it's often flash frozen after picking locking in the nutrients green vegetables – Bok Choy, Chinese greens, celery, cucumber, green beans, fresh herbs, kale, snap peas, spinach, runner beans, Romaine lettuce, and zucchini Make note of these and stuff your shopping trolley with high-fibre, clean eating fruits and veggies. These food choices are naturally filling, and provide the essential dietary fibre to help you curb your appetite naturally, and improve your gut health (without expensive supplements). Enjoy a rainbow these healthy foods raw, air-fried, baked, pan-fried, or lightly steamed to build half your plate at main meals. Clean Eating Protein Sources Protein is the absolute foundation of the clean eating kitchen. When your pantry is stocked with whole, unprocessed foods, you’ll find it so much easier to pair clean protein with other clean ingredients to build well-balanced and highly nutritious meals for easy weight loss. Stock up on these clean protein sources (depending on your preferences): animal meat – organic, grass-fed beef, chicken (skin off), kangaroo, lamb, and turkey seafood – choose low mercury fish such as wild caught cod, salmon, sardines, or whitening; prawns, crab, and shellfish vegan – beans, chia seeds, chickpeas, edamame, hemp seeds, green peas, lentils, nutritional yeast, plant-based protein powder, seitan (if not gluten intolerant), spirulina, tempeh, and tofu. protein powder – casein, whey-based or vegan plant-based protein powder Many of my clients come to me saying they want to eat clean and also go plantbased or more vegetarian. Eating clean on just plants is totally doable and has many health benefits, but does require choosing your clean, lean protein sources with care. If you'd like help with this check out my Nutritionist-approved plantbased recipes , or pop inside my free Facebook Community to ask me specific questions, click here . Clean Eating High-Fibre Food Choices Dietary fibre is the dieter's best friend they didn't know they were missing. Fibre is the indigestible parts of plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, beans and legumes, and is a type of a carbohydrate that helps feeds gut microbes, maintains a healthy digestive system, and balances your appetite. You can only get fibre from the foods you eat each day, so making sure you are regularly consuming 30g+ per main meal is super important. Just like wholefood-based protein, dietary fibre is an essential macro of the clean eating diet and pantry. Be sure to stock on the following and enjoy them across all meals: top high-fibre grains – barley, buckwheat, bulgur wheat, oatmeal, quinoa, whole wheat pasta, brown and wild rice best high-fibre fruits – consume high-fibre varieties like apples, avocados, blackberries, guava, pears, raspberries food-based fibre additives –  bran fibre, chia seeds, flax seeds,  LSA, psyllium husk,  wheat bran and whole grains top vegetables –  artichoke, avocado, beet greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, kale, lentils, peas, pumpkin, spinach, sweet potatoes, and turnips fibre supplements – guar gum, methylcellulose, and psyllium husk   Consuming a high fibre diet is not only important for digestive health and regular bowel movements, but it also helps you feel fuller for longer, improves cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

But it’s not just about cutting out the obvious sweets — it’s also important to find and avoid all the hidden sugars found in everyday foods like cereal, sauces, and flavoured yogurts. How to Identify Hidden Sugars When reading nutrition and food labels, you need to get skilled at spotting sneaky names for sugar aliases, and the deceptive names of unhealthy ingredients. Hidden sugars can significantly impact your health, and are increasingly hard to distinguish for the untrained eye. Therefore, I encourage you to take a screenshot or make note of the sees sneaky names for sugar: corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup – lurks in canned fruit, tomato sauce, processed snacks, and many beverages like cola and cocktail/mocktail mixes cane sugar, evaporated cane juice, and agave nectar – found in sweetened cereals, baked goods, and "natural" juices glucose, dextrose, maltose, and sucrose – common in lollies, packaged desserts, and many packaged snacks and processed foods fruit juice concentrates – found in "fruit" snacks, some yoghurts, and many drink products molasses – used in baked goods, BBQ sauces, and some cereals honey – found in many store-bought granola bars, cereals and some yoghurt products Clean Eating Sugar Swaps You can drastically reduce your sugar intake without ever having to sacrificing the flavour. And while I know how confusing it can feel at first, as sugar comes under so many different names, it is worth learning were it lurks. Here's 56 different sneaky names  that could be tripping you up. before you scroll on, pop down to the comments and share which ones have you caught you out in the past, then try a few of these easy and clean eating alternatives: jams and spreads  – replace sugary jams with smashed berries or homemade chia seed jam sweeteners  – experiment with natural sweeteners like beetroot juice, stevia, monk fruit, or a touch of raw honey instead of brown, cane, or white table sugar flavoured yoghurts  – swap for plain Greek yogurt and add fresh fruit, chia seed jam , smashed berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to add flavour in baking – experiment with natural sweeteners; try sweet vegetables like carrots in cakes and muffins, use beetroot or pear juice, homemade apple sauce, or berries to sweeten pies and pastries By swapping the table sugar out for healthier options in your home cooking, you’ll still be able to enjoy delicious sweetness and flavour, but while keeping your blood sugar more stable. Over very short time, I promise you, your taste buds will adjust. In less than 10 days is all it take, and you may even start to crave less sugar altogether. RELATED: You Might Like Quick & Easy Clean Eating Recipes For Busy People 10 Easy Low Carb Recipes For Weight Loss From A Nutritionist 10 Clean Eating Foods That Naturally Help Boost Healthy Fat Loss Step 4: Hydration For Weight Loss Staying properly hydrated is a foundational habit when clean eating . Just a plain glass of water can help curb unnecessary snacking, and improve your energy, digestion, and skin health. Water is a secret weight loss accelerator, and consuming high water-content foods are another must-have staple while on a clean eating diet . These include thirst-quenching wholefoods that work to help keep you hydrated and your digestive system functioning its best. Water-Rich Foods To Add to Your Clean Eating Diet Easily boost hydration by adding more water-rich foods into your daily meals and clean eating snacks . It's fairly easy to do, and such a simple way to reduce cravings while you re working on weight loss and shifting your diet to clean eating. Start with these water-content food and infused water ideas: fruit – apples, citrus, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, rock melon, watermelon, and strawberries vegetables – capsicums, celery, cucumber, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, watercress and zucchini herbs – aloe vera, basil, borage, lemon balm, and mint family When your body is fully hydrated, you'll be way less likely to confuse hunger and thirst, and naturally snack less often. For many people watching their weight, mindless snacking is a real problem that trips them up and sabotages their weight loss efforts. If you are feeling snack-ish, first have a glass of water or herbal tea and wait 10 minutes. If you are still hungry, add some of the above to your water bottle. I love doing this and making infused water or I'll have a herbal tea to keep myself fully hydrated. Interest peaked? Browse my infused water recipes here . and see how it makes you feel.

To make healthy eating habits stick, you need to keep making shifts towards a clean eating lifestyle that you can sustain long term.

We're all juggling a bazillion things at once, and ' healthy eating ' can sound like the task that finally topples the to-do list. But, guess what? It doesn't have to be that overwhelming to eat clean and healthy.

Clean eating is all about nourishing your body, even when you're super short on time. Here's a Nutritionist's handy guide on how to eat clean , and refocus your attention (and weekly menu) on more of the good stuff, less overly processed meals. Focus On Whole Foods Sounds obvious, right? Prioritise your weekly menu on as much fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats as possible. These foods are the building blocks of clean eating and provide many of the essential macros your body needs to look and feel it's best. Eating from a diet made up of a wide variety of whole foods can work wonders to help you rebalance your body weight, hormones and gut health. Most people who clean up their diet and eat this way, notice a difference within a matter of days. Minimise Processed Foods No surprise here. Eating clean means reducing, or fully eliminating packaged snacks, sugary drinks, and most fast food from your diet and kitchen pantry.

Water helps your body function its best, aids digestion and improves gut health. It fuels your brain, can improve a bad mood, boost your energy, and works wonders to curb sugar and food cravings. Aim to drink up to 2.5 - 3 litres per day, flavouring it with fresh wedges of lemon, cucumber, herbs and berries to help make it more palatable if needed. Simple Clean Eating Swaps Lastly, make gradual changes. This makes the transition to clean eating go smoothly, building on new recipes and food quality s you go. You can do this very simply by swapping out sugary cereals for rolled oats and oatmeal, ditching white bread for whole grain or sourdough, and passing on colas and cordials and instead making your own infused water.
