Detailed explanation-1: -A serving, or serving size, is the amount of food listed on a product’s Nutrition Facts label, or food label (see Figure 1 below). Different products have different serving sizes. Sizes can be measured in cups, ounces, grams, pieces, slices, or numbers-such as three crackers.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A portion is the amount of food that you choose to eat for a meal or snack. It can be big or small, you decide. A serving is a measured amount of food or drink, such as one slice of bread or one cup (eight ounces) of milk. Many foods that come as a single portion actually contain multiple servings.
