don't fret.. the bulk of the planet is eating the entire bag.. with no regard to serving size and calories7

Weirdly enough, the manufacturer intends for you to eat the entire bag and yet they call a bag 2.5 servings.
That's not messed up at all. Nothing to see here.4 -
popcorn labels are confusing1

If I remember correctly, serving sizes are based on the average amount eaten by consumers (as self-reported) and it's based on the type of product, not the particular brand.1 -

"Self-reported" being the operative term. We humans are pretty awful at remembering or reporting just how much we ate.4 -
Most of us feel like we have to clean our plate. Hard to change that thinking.1

Absolutely. It's a wacky system to determine serving sizes and I think it's further compromised by the fact that many people tend to eat what is in front of them. So even I'm usually eating, say, an ounce of potato chips when I take them out of the big bag at home, if I'm out and I buy a two ounce bag, I'm more likely to eat the whole thing once I've opened it even though that's technically two servings.3 -

It's only really in North America where leaving something on your plate is normal because our serving sizes are so huge.0 -

The bag is technically one serving. The manufacturer wants to call it two so the calorie count looks more reasonable.1 -
O trans fatsWeirdly enough, the manufacturer intends for you to eat the entire bag and yet they call a bag 2.5 servings.

If there are less than .67 grams trans fat per serving, the manufacturer can round it down to 0. Talk about messed up. So you probably had about 1.65 grams trans fat.

It's not up to the manufacturer, it's based on tables created by the FDA. It has flaws because it is based on self-reported information, but it's called two servings (in this example) because one ounce is considered a serving of potato chips.0 -

I may be wrong, but shouldn't you be looking at the popped nutrition?
Serving =4.5 C
Servings/bag = 2.5
Calories/cup = 30
4.5x2.5x30 = 337.5 calories per bag of popped popcorn.2 -
I actually bought a product the other day (I think it was a candy bar, but I can't remember) that had the servings and calories for the entire package IN BOLD. I thought "How great! Why don't they all do this??"0

I clean my plate...I also put an appropriate amount of food on my plate to be cleaned...
I personally wouldn't sweat this...a whole bag is like 350 calories (rounding)0 -

I think that is the new laws rolling out. That manufacturer is just ahead of the game.

If you finished a whole bag I would look more at the nutritional side of it and see what it is your body is craving. Maybe you can easily cut the calories by finding foods that are higher in what your body needs. This worked for me! I don't have crazy cravings anymore. Amazingness I thought it was in my genetic code. I had to go through a whole chain of demolishing boxes and bags of different things before I found the full solution. Maybe you need more omeg 3? That reduced my popcorn cravings considerably!0
