  1. Teen Living Objective 8.01 Summarize wise food selection practices

  2. Meal Planning • Courses of a meal: • Appetizer = first course • Entrée = main course • Side dish • Dessert Meal Planning usually begins with the entrée

  3. Nutrition in a Meal • A meal should have items from all food groups of the food pyramid

  4. Nutrition Labels • Check serving size to determine how many calories/fat grams, etc. consumed

  5. Ingredients List • Ingredients are listed in order of greatest quantity to least quantity in an item • The main ingredient is listed first

  6. Preparing to Shop • Take a shopping list with you, to save time and money • Shopping lists should be organized based upon the store layout • Eat a snack before going shopping to avoid impulse purchases • Staples = basic ingredients to always have such as, flour, sugar, and salt

  7. Where to Shop • Convenience store = speedy check-out • Supermarket = best for quality fruits & vegetables • Specialty market = freshest quality • Warehouse club = lower prices

  8. How to Shop • Compare Unit Price to make sure you are getting the best value/best buy • Sale price/net contents = unit price

  9. How to Shop National brands have the highest quality • Check expiration dates – look on the shelf for the freshest package of food • Pull date = perishable items can no longer be sold but will often be fresh for up to a week • A large package of food with a low unit price may not be the most economical buy if the food might spoil before it can be used

  10. How to Shop • Buy produce that is in-season for the best quality at the lowest price • Heavy produce means that it is juicy • Avoid blemishes (bruises) on fruit, wilted lettuce (brown or limp), and potatoes with sprouts

  11. Nutrition • 100% juice is the most nutritious • Juice labeled “juice drink”, “punch”, or with the letters “ade” (orangeade) on the end have extra sugars added • Organic foods are planted without chemical fertilizers • Store bought baked goods contain preservatives that prevent them from molding as quickly as homemade

  12. Check-Out • As groceries are scanned, check that prices match shelf prices • Use coupons for items regularly purchased • Universal Product Code itemizes purchases on the receipt
