The whole nutrition facts section feels cherry picked too. Portion sizes are way too small. Every snack food ends up being 140 calories and like 27-31 grams, regardless of what it is. I wish everything was, like, per 10 grams or some other measurement from which I can extrapolate how big a piece of shit I am easily. I don’t want 27 grams of cereal, I want 40 because I’m a child trapped in an adult’s body, so now I gotta do the cross multiplying thing I learned when I was a kid, and I guess it’s good to stay fresh, but I don’t want to.
All that being said, calorie counting apps are fantastic for anyone interested in keeping tabs on their bad habits. Not necessarily fixing them, just giving some ammo for when they’re depressed and shitting all over themselves.
just eyeball it: 27=20, so double the values… there’s probably so much variance that it ends up close… but also yeah we should have some standardized serving size… I’m sure the EU has done this or something lol
This is why the EU went with a 100g section. You can just read that to see the relative differences between products. Us definitely did a better job of making it readable. Some allowed formats are just mushed up text.
Probably so they don’t have to declare the milk in the calorie content…
Nestle cereals also show the “calcium content: g” inside a cartoon splash of milk.
Because you’re supplying that part yourself.
They need to at lest count my cum calories. It not safe ergonomically if they don’t and I sew
Holds up spork!!!1!!
Yea, the penguin of d00m but is really popular with the middle school demographic.

Oh, I eyeball it all. That’s how I can run 30+ miles a week and still hover right at the edge of overweight.

New rule. Give your product to 10 random people off the street. Get them to pour out one portion that they’d eat.
Take the average, that’s now your portion size.
Who decides the bowl or plate size? It has a psychological effect on how much we think we eat.
Regulate harder!
