building diets label continued

Food labels are serious to knowing accurately what it is that you are putting into your body. Apparently it may seem a simple task but keep in mind that food manufacturers want you to buy their product. So I am going to tell you how to read and understand labels of muscle building diets and food products.
First of all read food labels. You must know how to read food labels to accurately determine how much protein, fat, carbohydrates and calories you are actually getting per serving.
Getting the correct quantity of protein and carbohydrates is quite easy. You simply take the gram amount listed in the amount per servings column and then multiply that number by 4 (one gram of protein or carbohydrates equals 4 calories). This will give you the total number of protein or carbohydrates per serving.
For example:
1 scoop of Precision Protein powder (branded muscle building diet) will give you 10 calories of carbohydrates (2.5 x 4) per serving, 80 calories of protein (20 x 4) per serving. Getting the TRUE fat content is a little trickier. When the labels says "low fat", that does not essentially mean that it is true. When a product says "low fat" it is usually referring to the total fat calorie amount per serving.
If a 1 gram of food has 36 calories, and 18 calories of fat, it means that you are getting 50% of fat in your food. People do not know it but they intake 50 % food in their food. To actually know if the product is low in fat, you must take into account the TOTAL number of calories per serving that the food provides. Only “low fat” is not enough to be written on the product.
