The 5-20 rule is a handy way of reading food labels to see if the food item fits into your diet. For nutrients that you want to limit in your diet, (saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium etc.) make sure the % Daily Value (%DV) is around 5% or less. For nutrients you want more of, aim for foods that contain ~20% DV of those nutrients.
