Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The serving size reflects the amount that people typically eat or drink. It is not a recommendation of how much you should eat or drink. It’s important to realize that all the nutrient amounts shown on the label, including the number of calories, refer to the size of the serving.
Detailed explanation-2: -The calories in food come from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats: A gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories. A gram of protein has 4 calories. A gram of fat has 9 calories-more than twice as much as the other two.
