Since weighing and/or measuring your portions, have you found any products that do not yield the number of servings it claims on the label?
So far the two that I've been noticing that don't yield the number of servings it claims: natural crunchy peanut butter & pasta. The crunch peanut butter claims 14 servings. I NEVER have gotten that. The most I've gotten is 10 servings. (I weighed out the portions to pre portion when I first got the container so no extra bites). And pasta.... This last time it yielded 6 instead of 7 servings.

oh and this package of cheese that I bought said "2 cups" on the front... serving size was 1/3 cup... number of servings listed 8....
is that supposed to work?0 -
Definitely. Soup is a good example. Depending on brand, sometimes I get more, sometimes less than what is advertised on the can. I always get less in canned vegetables.0

Bonne Mamon jam DOES NOT have 18 tablespoons in it (more like 10...)0

Yes it's almost always wrong. I've seen some soup have less than 2 servings instead of the 2.5 servings they claim etc.0
