For instance, an advertisement says that a common processed meat product is 95% fat-free. The label says that each slice of meat contains 100 calories and 6 grams of fat. Each gram of fat contains 9 calories, so 54 of the 100 calories are from fat or, 54% of the calories are from fat. <\/p>\n<p>2) The body actually converts carbohydrates into energy, so eliminating carbohydrate consumption can make you sluggish. Additionally, eating carbohydrates in moderation does not directly cause weight gain.<\/p>\n<p>3) Just because it\u2019s from Whole Foods doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s healthy. Certain terms like \u201call-natural\u2019 have absolutely no legal meaning. Food producers can put this label on just about anything. <\/p>\n<p>4) It is a commonly held belief that honey is a healthy alternative to sugar, but they are almost chemically indistinguishable. They contain close to equal amounts of fructose and glucose and the body cannot distinguish between the two. Raw honey is better than pasteurized honey and refined sugar. Studies have shown that raw honey enhances your body\u2019s ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1319562X16302066\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">process glucose<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6074882\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">alleviates allergies<\/a>. Of course, removing sweeteners from your diet is optimal but of all the sweeteners available, raw honey is the healthiest choice. <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Recommended Daily Allowance of protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight for adults older than 19 years. The RDA is the amount of a nutrient you need to meet your basic nutritional requirements. In a sense, it\u2019s the minimum amount you need to keep from getting sick \u2014 not the specific amount you are supposed to eat every day.

Protein and grains make up the other half, with a small daily allowance of dairy (if applicable to an individual\u2019s situation).
