Bitewise: Plate Lookup
Field notes
- Reading a label from the bottom up Start at the ingredients, not the calorie number
- What a food score is actually measuring Same calories, different score. Here's what the number sees.
- When the ingredient list gets long Two jars, same shelf, very different plates
- Why the smoothie scored lower than the fruit Three fruits in, 600 in the cup, and the number shifted
- The office salad that eats like a burger Reading the number under all that green
- The frozen pizza, honestly What's fine, what's dragging the score, and one topping swap
- Walking the yogurt aisle Twelve tubs, one word on the front, three very different plates
- Why two 400-calorie meals aren't equal Same number on the label, different afternoon
- How much protein you actually need The internet says 200. Your fork disagrees.
- Fiber, the number nobody watches The quiet one on the label, doing most of the fullness work
- The sugar hiding in savory food You cut dessert. The sugar found another door.
- One swap: the loaf on your counter Same shelf, same price, ten points better
- One swap: the afternoon snack The 3pm drawer, read honestly
- One swap: what's in the morning cup The drink you order five mornings a week, read out loud
- The takeout night, no shame Reading the bag on the counter, honestly
- Reading a menu before you order Two words per dish tell you most of it
- The airport food court, ranked honestly Forty minutes, eight counters, one line worth standing in
- The weekend brunch, added up You were hungry by four. Here's why.
