    NOT ME!! I have to have three or don't bother. I used to have a serious addiction, but now I can go months without eating an oreo! After so long of eating healthy, they actually taste too sweet to me. But if I do have them, I have 3!

    On 1200 calories, maybe. They fit fine in my 1600-1700 calorie diet though.

    30g is the bit you cut off because you've cut too big a bit for the recipe. And therefore it has no calories:wink: I so love cheese I had to get low fat cheese, as its fine for sandwiches and cooking but not sufficiently delicious to hack off a lump in passing:laugh:

    A round cake at Publix which lists a serving as 1/9th of the cake! Who the heck can cut a ROUND cake into 9 slices? After thinking about it, I finally figured out they were using the portion size from their rectangular sheet cakes which you can easily cut 3x3 and thus have 9 slices. Apparently, someone was too lazy to recalculate the portion size for 1/8th instead of 1/9th.

    One tube = One serving size as far as I'm concerned. And I ain't talking snack size.

    Oh gosh yes THIS! When you finally get that scale and you're like YES I'm going to weigh this and log this, 1 serving is...

    ...and there's this sad spoonful of cereal and a splash of milk adrift in the big empty bowl.
    And you think hmm well there must be some mistake, maybe I didn't read it right.

    But nah, that's what the cereal guys are trying to say, they probably don't believe that this is a reasonable portion for an adult any more than we do.

    :grumble:

    To be fair, only granola is 1/4 cup a serving. Normal cereal is 3/4 cup or 1 cup (although if you weigh it, it's often less than that).

    I eat Cheerios and using my scale to weigh out 28g is a WHOLE lot of cereal (to me at least) and much more than a "1 cup" serving. So maybe all these folks freaking out about cereal need to start actually weighing it or maybe I'm just weird in thinking that 28g is a huge serving.

    The thread has been entirely entertaining to re-read though. Thus the necro.

    Bookmarking to read the original thread later. I'm reading at work and am cracking up so loud I'm embarrassing myself!

    Related to this - Now that I'm measuring and counting, it is a daily affair for me to measure out one serving of something, see how small it is, and exclaim "no wonder I'm fat."
