jim_thompson5910 · Answer

just a guess?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

or do you have any reasoning to back you up?

sarahc · Answer

I guessed.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

if you pull any food box, and look at say the calorie count, is that calorie count for the entire box? or for just that serving portion?

sarahc · Answer

the serving

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so that's why it's important to know how much a serving size is

sarahc · Answer

Yeah I agree with you but it was false

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

well you use the serving size and the servings per container to figure out how many calories (and things like fat, sodium etc) is contained in the entire box

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

if you're disciplined enough, you would only eat that one serving size, but it makes no sense to place more importance on the servings per container

sarahc · Answer
