All women want to know how much calories something has that they are consuming so they know how many calories they have left in a day to use.
I always count calories. It has worked for me for years. So I always look at calories first.
I picked other....because there was not a category for ALL. The listed categories are ALL important to me(including sugar) which they don't have listed. I also want to know ALL of the ingredients of what I put in my body. I only have one body and what I put in it is ALL important to me!!!
I chose other because my son has food allergies. The first (and most important thing) is the ingredients label.
I used to have to look at the carb counts when I was pregnant. Now I just look at calories...
I like to write down what I eat these days so I always check calorie count first. If the rest of the label sounds reasonable then I will go ahead and buy it/eat it.
More and more people are watching what they put in their bodies. Calories are the first thing I look at...then everything else gets a stern look over too. I must agree with most that looking at the label in full is best ....calories is just something that has to be considered in my book first.
Calories are always the first thing I look at becasue I have a strong idea of how many calories I want to take in during a day. I run about 5 times a week on a tredmill at my gym that tells me how many calories I burn - so I can do the 'easy math' to see how many calories I can have a day after exercising - this is not true for fat/carbs/fiber :)
Actaully I look for hydrogenated oils in a product (partially in particualr) - so I guess it's contents. I really am not into digesting metal.
Calories and fat content are most important to me. Fat would have been my second choice. The amount of calories might not prevent me from consuming a certain product, but it lets me know how to balance the rest of my food that day.
