Nutrition labels describe a portion that someone else decided on. Plates are filled by appetite, habit and the size of the dish. These pages look at that gap — why a declared serving and the food…

Eggs, tinned sardines, dried lentils, rolled oats and frozen spinach deliver the same protein, fibre and micronutrient load as fresh salmon, ribeye and imported berries at a fraction of the shelf…
Why it matters: the form of a food can influence glucose response independently of the total sugar it contains.
