While this can be helpful, it’s not perfect. Your specific nutrient needs vary based on your age, weight, sex, and physical activity level. Plus, if you’re following a low-carb, low-sugar diet, choosing products with less than 5% DV of those nutrients won’t necessarily be low enough for your goals. That’s why you should always look at the actual quantities of nutrients present (typically in grams, milligrams, or micrograms) and read the ingredient list.
