% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

FAQ
Chocolate pudding has about 40 calories, 6.44 g carbohydrates, 4.81 g sugar, 0 g fiber, 1.29 g fat, 0.35 g saturated fat, 0.59 g protein, 42.56 mg sodium, and 51.52 mg potassium, making it low in calories and fat for a dessert, but is also a refined carbohydrate due to its no fiber content. However, to compare whether it is healthy compared to mousse is debatable, as mousse recipes can vary in the ingredients they use (cream, egg, sugar content).
In moderation, chocolate puddings are not “unhealthy” due to the amount of calories they have (40 calories per oz), but its high sugar and fiber content results in less satiety and blood sugar buffering. Consuming these types of ultra processed diets can encourage an increase in 500 kcals per day, which may further encourage unhealthy eating habits.
In a very small portion. Per oz, it contains 6.44 g carbs, 4.81 g sugar, and 0 g fiber, so it is likely to raise glucose more quickly than a higher fiber dessert. Trials in people with type 2 diabetes show that low GI or low GL desserts improve post meal glucose and insulin responses versus conventional desserts, which is why this pudding is less ideal than a lower sugar, higher fiber option. If you have diabetes, a dietitian or healthcare professional can help set a portion that fits your carbohydrate target.
