Any Q

A serving size is a measured amount of food—1 cup, 1 slice, 1 teaspoon, etc. It's the amount you'll see on a food label, and it's what the USDA uses in the Healthy Eating Guidelines and daily recommendations. Food label serving sizes are determined by the manufacturer, so they might not match the dietary guidelines. 11 мар. 2016 г.
