    I bought Trail Mix the other day - serving size 1/4 cup, 140 calories. So I get it home, weigh it and I just stared at it. I'm like "140 calories for THAT". That wouldn't fill up a mouse.

    Trail mix is the worst!!! I can eat 10 servings at a time EASY!

    I struggled with this at dinner tonight. I made a "healthy" dinner with turkey kielbasa and roasted vegetables. I put the one-cup serving on my plate, ate it, then went back for seconds. That one cup felt like an appetizer!

    I'm that way with nuts of any kind. I really shouldn't even have them in the house. :*

    Well to be fair, cups are not accurate at all anyway.

    This thread reminded me of Brian Regan talking about serving sizes:
