Look at serving size ...

Shopping tip: Do not buy anything in a cardboard box or plastic bag unless you can recognize and understand all the ingredients. Always look at serving size when considering the amount of sugar, carbohydrates, sodium, and fat.

--- I'm not 100% sure what the 2nd sentence says? Does it mean I should check how much sugar, carbs, sodium and fat the given products contain?

It means that when you check how much of those things are in the product, you should also check the serving size. Presumably it assumes that the quantities are given "per serving", so to properly understand the numbers you need to know how much they mean by a "serving".

NewguestAlways look at serving size when considering the amount of sugar, carbohydrates, sodium, and fat.

For example: a large bag of potato chips:

Per serving: 30 calories, 1 gm fat, 50 mg salt. 
Serving size: 2.5 chips.
Number of servings in this bag: 70.

The information on packages is notorious for understating serving size. You think you can eat a lot of the product without consuming many calories because you think you'll probably only eat one serv
