Serving Sizes

Companies are required by law to list nutrition information by serving size. The serving sizes are also designated by law. This prevents companies from misleading consumers. If companies could select their own serving size or use the package size, then companies can change the amount of nutrients listed.

For example, one soda company changed their serving size from 12 oz to 8 oz. Then the company advertised that their product had 40% less calories then their competitors The soda was essentially the same nutritionally, but the company used the different serving size to mislead consumers.

what's the serving size of the onion

It is 8.8 ounces. A strange recipe bool to be giving servings to 1 decimal place!

BBQ food is usually solid and eaten and is therefore measured in pounds/ozs or grams, not pints. Pints are a measure of liquid volume (stuff that is drunk rather than eaten). It is therefore not possible to provide you with an answer.

Another perspective:

There are a lot of variables to be considered. Here are some thoughts . . .

A number of BBQ places sell pulled pork, pulled chicken, burnt ends, etc., by the 1/2 pint, pint and quart. The rule of thumb is that one pint weighs about a pound, though that can vary depending how tightly it is packed. Then you have to figure how much each person will eat and what other foods are available with the BBQ. If you think a standard serving will be about 1/3 pound (or 1/3 pint), then 39 pints could be around 117 servings. If servers are dishing it out, you will have more control than if people help themselves. If served on buns, that will have a distinct bearing on serving size. You might ask your BBQ source to help you with figuring this out.

That's only 8 1/2 ounces. What's the problem?

There are 16 cups in a gallon. So your peas would serve 32 people.

One serving size is usually 2-3TBSP, which equates to ~25-35g of frosting. Enough to cover a normal sized cupcake with at least 4mm of frosting.

Serving size is important in order to properly compute the amount of calories one eats.

It is easy to drink an entire bottle of juice or soda and think that the bottle contains a single serving. But if you check the serving size listed on the label, it may contain as much as 3 servings.

In many U.S. restaurants today, serving sizes are totally unrealistic, containing enough food and calories for two or three adults on a single plate.

One reason serving sizes are standardized (example: 1 cup) is to make it easy for consumers to compare foods before buying. Image you have $5.00 and you buy macaroni, expecting 4 cups within the package, with a 1 cup serving size. But when you get home, you take a measuring cup and find that the expected "1 cup serving" is more like 1/2 cup instead. Wouldn't you feel cheated?

More so, though, serving size is standardized among similar products so that a comsumer can check the calories and various nutrients listed for "one serving". Let's say you buy cereal. Each says a serving is 1/2 cup (you don't count the milk or anything you add to the bowl). But Product A says calories are 250, and Product B lists 330 calories. That's a big difference if you are counting calories or need to lose weight. You look further at the ingredients and one manufacturer lists sodium 20 grams; a different product lists 35 grams. Again, 15 grams is a big difference and the extra sodium can have negative health consequences, even if the cereal is supposed to be good for health.

Discrepancies like this have come more and more to the attention of the FDA which requires truthful labeling on packages. Most wise consumers often read labels and do food ingredient comparisons to make sure they buy not only the best product, but the best for their health and money spent.
