Im curious if anyone knows the secret to figuring out the serving size in package food.I don't have a scale as of yet :( so im trying to see if I can guesstimate it. For example is 1/4 a package a cup? 1/2c?
If anyone can help me along that'd be awesome :smiley:
Thanks!

    It depends on the food, brand, etc. what does the serving size say on the back?

    When I didn't have a scale I just opened the bag up and separated the jerkey into 4 equal portions as best as I could. And then eat one of those portions! :)

    ¼ package = 60 calories = 22 ¼ grams = .8 ounces
