Answer 8

YOUR SERVING DUDE

Answer 9

but isnt 1/2 double of 1/4

Answer 10

1/2 is YOUR SERVING !!!

Answer 11

Trust me I did this before!!!

Answer 12

yea but im trying to find out my calories based off of a normal serving size

Answer 13

Yeah, 1/4 cup of trail mix is 150 calories. If I eat 1/2 cup of trial mix, how many calories do I take in? Double of course.

Think of it this way.

There is a brownie, I cut it into 4 equal pieces. Each piece is 150 calories. If I eat 1/4 of it, that's 150 calories. I eat half, its 300 calories. 2/4 = 1/2

Answer 14

BUT THE QUESTION SAYS: YOUR SERVING!

Answer 15

UGH MY CAPS LOCK ON CHROMEBOOK DRIVES ME CRAZY X3 ID KNOW HOW TO TURN IT OFF

Answer 16

You use the 1/4 cup serving size on the back to adjust for how much you are taking in with your own server size. Nowhere on the carton does it say that 1/2 cup of trail mix = 150 calories.

Answer 30

Looks good though

Answer 31

take out a measuring glass and notice that 1/2 is double of 1/4 so u TIMES 150 by 2

Answer 32

yea i was confused on that one

Answer 33

Like is your apple smaller, or larger..? Who knows

Answer 34

Doesn't specify so we should just leave it.

Answer 35

yea

Answer 36

i only dont get the saturated fat one

Answer 37

Look at the labels for "Saturated Fat"

Answer 38

the percent daily value or grams

Answer 39

Under Total Fat

Answer 40

ohh does daily value mean 1 serving?

Answer 41

ok my guess is the apple

Answer 42

It means what % of the serving consists of your daily requirement of that nutrient. For example, the 20% iron in the % Daily Value aisle for the serving size of trail mix means it will provide 20% of your iron needs that day.

Answer 43

ohhh

Answer 44

If you look under "Total Fats" it will tell you about the different types of fats.

Answer 45

so pretty much the twists and the apple have low saturated fats

Answer 46

mhm

Answer 47
