What is portion size in food production?
Portion size is the amount of food served per person per meal. The USDA has recommended serving sizes of various foods, and recommended servings per day. These are based on the average recommended daily allowance for various body weights and levels of activity. For grains/starches the RDA is 11 servings for 150 lb person. So a Portion size for a meal can range from 2 servings where 2 grains/starches are served, to 4 servings where only 1 grain/starch is served. For Dairy 1-2 servings often are a portion. For vegetables 2 servings typically are a portion, and the same for fruit. For meats a portion size is often 1 or 2 serving sizes. Most food packagers for single meal prepared foods try to match these USDA recommended portion sizes, but only post serving sizes as required by law. So that a complete meal for 1 person will have, often 3 -4 servings of starch, 1 dairy, 2 servings of vegetable 1-2 servings of meat and 2 servings of fruit. Very often Prepackaged meals are not complete and require the addition separately of 1 or two servings of dairy, grain, and or fruit. When serving food in a restaurant, most restaurants provide more than the estimated requirement, for portion sizes, often 2-4 servings of meat, and or dairy, 2-3 servings of vegetables, 4-6 servings of grains and separately 3-4 servings of fruits for menu items. Portion sizes are variable and are usually more than a single serving.
