    Seriously. I think 4 slices should be a serving.

    1 slice is fine. What sucks is things like bags of candy or chips or snacks that say "only 100 calories per serving!" then have like 5 servings in a little bag. That's what sucks lol

    I am with you on this. A small bag of something yet it is 3 and 4 servings. When in reality, they should have made it one serving for the entire bag. Yes, this sucks!

    Serving sizes on anything can be pretty arbitrary. One little snack size can of tuna - 2 servings? Apple - 2 servings? And then you're supposed to eat 5-6 servings per day? It's just a way to lower calorie counts, but who cares???

    I often make peanut butter and raspberry jam foldovers. One slice of bread, folded in half. I think they made the default serving size 1 slice because of me. Sorry, everyone.

    I would rather a serving size be 1, then if I want 3 slices I can just multiply the calories by 3 instead of:

    1 slice = X/2*5-6/Q * (P¹²/6)

    I thought it was for me. I do the same. I even will make a lunchmeat sandwich by folding over a single slice of bread with all the good stuff inside.

    Raspberry ketones taste even better than the jam.

    I'm not sure if you guys are aware of hard doe bread that isn't per sliced but comes hot from the bakery. Well, I fool my self that when I cut a 'slice' it is a single slice :-)

    The sad thing is you got to weigh your slices too. They're often up to 20% off in weight.
