* Calories from alcohol are not from solid fats or added sugars, but they count against your limit for empty
calories ― calories from solid fats and added sugars.
The calories per serving are listed on the Nutrition Facts label on food packages. Be sure to compare the
stated serving size to the amount actually eaten. If you eat twice the stated serving size, you will have twice
the calories.
Key Consumer Messages:
● Enjoy your food, but eat less.
● Avoid oversized portions.
● Drink
water instead of sugary drinks.
