Food and Serving Sizes
Jul. 12th, 2022 08:35 amIn my perpetual Battle of (my own) Bulge, I have taken to keeping a food log and tracking calories consumed. It's helped - I'm down 15 pounds since the start of the process. However, I have a complaint, namely serving size.
I am fond of Marie Callender's frozen individual chicken pot pies. On the larger of the two sizes, it says right on the front "410 calories." Except, on the back, one finds that's 410 calories per serving. The individual pie is officially two servings! For those not up on math, that's a total of 820 calories per pie!
Now, I can sort of see this game with things like poptarts. Even though one gets two in a package, they are separate items and one can (and I do) eat one and put the other in a ziplock bag. But nobody eats half of an individual pot pie!
I now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming.
