Count Calories In Food
Researchers say the calorie information on reduced-calorie pre-packaged food is often wrong, which could be a problem for those trying to lose weight.

Researchers also studied 10 supermarket meals and found they had 8 percent more calories than what was listed on the label, and a few had twice as many calories as stated.
