A serving size is a standardized amount of food or drink that people typically consume. It is often used interchangeably with the term "portion size", but they have different meanings. A serving size is listed on a product's Nutrition Facts label, and is set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Serving sizes can be measured in cups, ounces, grams, pieces, slices, or numbers.

Food Serving Size refers to a standardized amount of food or drink recommended for consumption, typically indicated on nutrition labels. It helps guide portion control and allows for easy comparison of nutritional content across different foods. Serving sizes are determined by regulatory agencies, like the FDA, based on typical consumption patterns and are used to convey the nutritional value, including calories, fat, protein, and other nutrients, per serving. Understanding serving sizes is crucial for maintaining a balanced diet and managing dietary intake.
