Sad Servings...

I have to laugh about so many people mentioning the cereal portions...because when I was growing up (chubby) my mom did not really police my intake or anything, but she acted like cereal was this big decadent thing and you had to be super careful to eat a small bowl of it, and barely pour any milk on there. It was like her ONE obsession w/ portions. So for me as an adult on MFP the 3/4 cup or 1 cup of cereal seems like a whole lot, and I put 1/2 cup of almond milk on there and feel like a queen LMAO
for me the disappointing serving is 1 oz of cheese, especially shredded cheese. I used to make casseroles and pizza with like 2 cups of cheese on top of them just because. No more.0 -
Nuts, cheese, pasta.
Cereal I grew up with those single serving boxes so I always had an idea of how small a serving was I guess.0 -
Peanut butter and ice cream.0

Chips are the worst. I weighed out 1 serving for my lunch the other day and it was like 8 chips for 140 calories. I had carrot sticks instead0

Like, so small you guys. 200 calories and it's basically a handful.
What's the most surprising/sad portion size you have discovered while trying to lose weight?
Also, I ate that portion anyway...I regret nothing.
Nut butters are the most obvious disappointment, but hard cheese is up there too.
I also get pretty sad sometimes about what constitutes a serving of ice cream.
Peanut butter was depressing until I started actually making a pb&j sammich and I realized that a serving was quite a bit more than I would typically use anyway..
And when I eat ice cream I make sure it's something really good like talenti Caribbean coconut gelato...mmm...
LOL, the better the ice cream, is the larger portion I want.
I don't even have a huge sweet tooth or anything but sometimes I just want half a pint of ice cream and I can't often justify it (I'm maintaining but I'm short and light, so....)0 -
Cereal. Pasta. I used to fill a bowl about 4/5s full of Frosted Flakes, and fill with milk til the cereal almost fell out. Eat all the cereal, drink all the milk. Had to have been at least 1000 calories. And sometimes I would do this about 3 hours after dinner. Like someone else said, you don't think much of it because its "only cereal".0

Yeah that's the workaround. Instead of eating a tub of crap ice cream, you spend extra $$$ on the super-premium good stuff (Magnum bars for me) and savor it.

Cereal,ice cream, nuts and dressing. So discouraging.0

I was pleasantly surprised when I weighed my cheese for the first time. It wasn't shredded, it was from a block of cheese. I was really excited that I could eat that much. Shredded cheese is a different story because I add it to other foods and one serving doesn't seem like enough sometimes.0

just ice cream0

I had been hugely overestimating PB and cheese. And coffee creamer. So I am actually eating more now, than I thought was acceptable0

Gummi Bears - 15 little bears is a serving.
Those little fruit snack pouches - about 80 calories for about 5 pieces. Crazy.
Any kind of chip - an ounce is so sad.
A serving of Chex mix fits in the palm of your hand and I have a little hand!0 -
Cereal. I finally started using a food scale and I was so disappointed0
