The %DV is based on a sample daily diet of 2,000 calories. Calorie needs obviously vary from person to person. To help set nutrient goals and personalize DVs, shoppers need to consider how many calories they ty p ic a lly eat. Take an active athlete for ex ample. They likely eat more than 2000 calories so their %DV is a bit more liberated than what appears on the la bel. An elderly woman how ever, may eat less than 2000 calories and needs to remem ber that the %DV over-esti mates her needs. • If I eat one food w ith a 30% DV for fat, does that mean I have met the recom mended amount of dietary No. M ost pe op le have probably heard of the dietary guidelines for “less than 30 percent of calories from fat.” That guideline refers to the total diet over time and not in dividual food choices. Shop pers need to se le ct foods based on a total package of nutrients, not just the %DV for fat.

Limiting your choices to only foods with such claim s, however, can lead to unnecessary restric tions in the diet. Keep an eye out for words such as “high” or “good source” to help lo cate foods with some needed nutrients like calcium , iron and dietary fiber. Each year there are thou sands of new products on the grocery store shelves. While the label doesn’t tell whether or not it tastes good, it cer tainly can help shoppers de cide if it has the “good-for- you” nutrients needed. The new labels do give consis tent, reliable information on which to base a healthful de cision.
