NUTRITION FACTS ✅
CALORIES - 140
Function: Calories are the amount of energy released when your body breaks down (digests and absorbs) food.
The more calories a food has, the more energy it can provide to your body. When you eat more calories than
you need, your body stores the extra calories as body fat. Even a fat-free food can have a lot of calories
Facts on Calories
● Calories are essential for human health. The key is consuming the right amount.
● Everyone requires different amounts of energy each day, depending on age, sex, size, and activity level.
● Foods high in energy but low in nutritional value provide empty calories.
● Protein Calories Help Weight Loss.
.
TOTAL FAT 6 g - 9%
Function: Fat helps give your body energy, protects your organs, supports cell growth, keeps cholesterol and
blood pressure under control, and helps your body absorb vital nutrients.
Function: The body uses sodium to control blood pressure and blood volume. Your body also needs sodium for
your muscles and nerves to work properly.
Facts on Sodium
● Helps our cells uptake nutrients and water.
● Help our muscles contract.
● Help our nerves carry messages between the brain and the body.
● Balances our bodies fluids and regulates blood pressure.
TOTAL CARBOHYDRATE 21 g - 7%
Function: Carbohydrates, also known as carbs, are vital at every stage of life. They're the body's primary source
of energy and the brain's preferred energy source. Carbs are broken down by the body into glucose – a type of
sugar.
● Glucose - is used as fuel by your body's cells, tissues, and organs.
Facts on Carbohydrates
● Carbohydrates are an important source of fiber.
● Carbohydrates are the most important energy source for the body.
PROTEIN 2 g - 3%
Function: Proteins are the building blocks of life. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic
structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and
make new ones. Protein is also important for growth and development in children, teens, and pregnant women.
Facts on Protein
● Support the regulation and expression of DNA and RNA.
● Support muscle contraction and movement.
● Provide support to the body.
● Move essential molecules around the body.
CALCIUM - 2%
Function: is a mineral most often associated with healthy bones and teeth, although it also plays an important
role in blood clotting, helping muscles to contract, and regulating normal heart rhythms and nerve functions.
Facts on Calcium
● Calcium Plays a Major Role in Bone Health
- It is incredibly important for maintaining the integrity and strength of the skeletal system; calcium
deficiency can lead to brittle, easily broken bones – also called osteoporosis.
● The Symptoms of Calcium Deficiency Are Serious. As hinted at above, the body tends to take calcium
from the bones when it needs it. For this reason, osteoporosis is one major symptom of calcium
deficiency. What are signs of calcium deficiency?
- Unexplained muscle twitching
- Muscle cramps
- Tooth decay and oral disease
- Hypertension
● Calcium & Vitamin D Work Together. The fact that vitamin D aids in the absorption of dietary calcium by
the intestines is arguably one of the most fascinating aspects of how our body uses calcium. The active
form of vitamin D called calcitriol acts almost like "glue" to draw calcium from our digested food into the
bloodstream. Adding more calcium to your diet won't do much good if your calcitriol levels aren't high
enough.
IRON 4%
Function: Iron is a mineral that our bodies need for many functions. For example, iron is part of hemoglobin, a
protein which carries oxygen from our lungs throughout our bodies. It helps our muscles store and use oxygen.
Iron is also part of many other proteins and enzymes.
Facts on Iron
● Iron helps convert blood sugar to energy.
● Iron boosts the immune system.
● Iron supports healthy skin, hair and nails.

TOTAL FAT 4
Function: Fat helps give your body energy, protects your organs, supports cell growth, keeps cholesterol and
blood pressure under control, and helps your body absorb vital nutrients.
Saturated Fat 1 g
● Function: Saturated fats (including a type called trans fat) tend to stay solid at room temperature and can
cause fatty deposits in blood vessels, leading to atherosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries").
● This is the so-called "bad" fat. It's primarily found in animal products like beef, pork, and high-fat dairy
foods, like butter, margarine, cream, and cheese. High amounts of saturated fat also are found in many
fast, processed, and baked foods like pizza, desserts, hamburgers, and cookies and pastries.
Omega3 - 591mg
● Function: are nutrients you get from food (or supplements) that help build and maintain a healthy body.
They’re key to the structure of every cell wall you have. They’re also an energy source and help keep your
heart, lungs, blood vessels, and immune system working the way they should.
● Two crucial ones -- EPA and DHA -- are primarily found in certain fish. ALA (alpha-linolenic acid),
another omega-3 fatty acid, is found in plant sources such as nuts and seeds
DHA - 55mg
● Function: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays a key role in the development of eye and nerve tissues.
DHA might also reduce the risk of heart and circulatory disease by decreasing the thickness of the
blood, reducing swelling (inflammation), and lowering blood levels of triglycerides.
CHOLESTEROL - 10mg
Function: Its main function is to maintain the integrity and fluidity of cell membranes and to serve as a precursor
for the synthesis of substances that are vital for the organism including steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin
D.
Types of cholesterol
● Cholesterol is a type of lipid or fat that the liver produces. Cholesterol circulates throughout the body
and goes wherever the body needs it.
There are two types of cholesterol, they include
1. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol: Doctors often refer to this as “bad” cholesterol. It can
cause a buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can cause them to stiffen and become blocked.
2. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol: Doctors often refer to HDL as “good” cholesterol. It can
help lower the level of bad cholesterol in the body. It does this by transporting the LDL cholesterol back
to the liver, where the body breaks it down and releases it.
SODIUM 270 mg
Function: The body uses sodium to control blood pressure and blood volume. Your body also needs sodium for
your muscles and nerves to work properly.
Facts on Sodium
● Helps our cells uptake nutrients and water.
● Help our muscles contract.
● Help our nerves carry messages between the brain and the body.
● Balances our bodies fluids and regulates blood pressure.

● Glucose - is used as fuel by your body's cells, tissues, and organs.
Facts on Carbohydrates
● Carbohydrates are an important source of fiber.
● Carbohydrates are the most important energy source for the body.
● Carbohydrates are the only fuel source metabolized fast enough to support hard exercise.
SUGAR 3g
Function: Sugar provides energy to your muscles and acts as a source of energy for your brain and nervous
system. You also need sugar because it helps metabolize fats and prevents your body from using protein as
energy. Blood sugar -- called blood glucose -- gets broken down in a series of chemical reactions that create
energy, which fuels your cells.
Facts on sugar
● Sufficient sugars in the body help maintain muscle mass. Even though our bodies prefer to burn
dietary carbohydrates as an energy source over fats or proteins, when the ready supply of sugars and
stored glycogen aren’t available, our bodies will turn to alternative fuel sources.
● Our bodies store excess sugars for energy. When we consume more dietary carbohydrates than our
bodies can use as a fuel source, our bodies will convert these excess sugars into glycogen. Glycogen is
stored in our liver and muscle and is stockpiled by our bodies as an additional energy source to use
when our blood sugar levels are low or during intense, intermittent exercise.
PROTEIN - 10%
Function: Proteins are the building blocks of life. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic
structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and
