PARENTS: Nutrition Facts: A "serving' is a measured amount of food or drink, such as one slice of bread or 1 cup of milk. Some foods that most people consume as a single serving actually contain multiple serving sizes( e.g. a 20-ounce soda, or a 3-ounce bag of chips).Also check calories for a serving. Nutrition recommendations use serving sizes to help people know how much of different types of foods they should eat to get the nutrients they need. The Nutrition Facts Label on packaged foods also lists a serving size.MY WORD: The serving sizes on packaged foods are not always the same as those included in nutrition recommendations.
