If a serving is listed as a bowl how do you know how much that is. All bowls are different. What is considered a standard bowl size?

    If the serving size is listed as "a bowl" and the package doesn't come with said bowl, it means the people who wrote the label are a**holes.

    Does the label have a grams measurement? Usually the nutritional info will say something like 1 cup (40g). If so, you can measure it with a scale. Of course, that assumes you have one.

    Yep. Most of the foods I list that say "bowl" actually come with the bowl for microwaving. Otherwise - measure!

    Haha, yeah. I poke around until I find something with a concrete measurement when I'm logging. Phrases like "a bowl" mean nothing to me.

    :laugh: so was it!

    but since i clicked on it, that seems like an absurd measurement, unless the item comes with a bow. like others have said, usually the label should say something grams or cups in parenthesis or something. i got a food scale at bed bath and beyond for like under $20 and it's awesome! that way i can measure my cereal and pasta

    That means you just grab the biggest bowl in the kitchen and cram as much food as possible into it.

    In general I like cramming things into small places.
