This week's Weigh In Wednesday question is: Serving sizes vary so much from label to label. What food has a serving size that really surprises you, or what food really challenges you to stick with it's serving size?
Serving sizes should be easy, right? You buy something in a vending machine and you expect it to be one serving. WRONG! Many items in the vending machine contain multiple servings so while the 240 calories listed in one serving might not sound too bad, the 480 can be pretty scary!
One of the surprising items that contains multiple servings is the single banana. That's right, a banana is really two servings of fruit. I have actually given up bananas entirely as they just don't seem to agree with me.
Wouldn't it be great if a serving of Ben and Jerry's was the entire pint. Mmm...
