 | Step 1: Serving infoPay attention to the serving size and the servings per container. This info is often contained in a separate box or line on the label, or it can be seen in the "Nutritional Information" block, right next to the nutrients listed.
You can expect to see a column stating the nutritional value of the food per serving size, e.g. "PER 50 g SERVING". To find out how many servings the container contains (i.e. how many times you'll be able to eat a full serving), simply divide the mass of the product, e.g. 500 g, by the serving size, e.g. 50 g. That gives you 10 servings. Some labels – especially those that are wrapped around packaged convenience foods – will give you an indication of the number of servings per container, e.g. "4 SERVINGS". |
