  Some food labels say use by, while others say sell by. What do these terms mean?
 


Question 2


  I just used the formula in this book and calculated my EER to be 2,900 kcal/day. If I ate that much, I am positive that I would gain weight. Does this mean that there is something wrong with my metabolism?

Answer to Question 1


Sell by dates indicate the last day the product can be sold. This helps the store know when it should remove products from its shelves. The sell by date is based on the quality of the food, not its safety. The use by date is the last date a consumer is recommended to use a product. This date is recommended for best flavor or quality. Expiration dates indicate the last date a food should be eaten or used for food safety reasons. Foods that are used after the expiration date could contain bacteria or pathogens and may cause illness.


Answer to Question 2


No. Keep in mind that the EER represent the Estimated Energy Requirements for individuals of similar sex, weight, height and activity patterns. Your individual energy requirement may be somewhat more or less depending on other factors such as body composition and genetic factors.
