Serving/Portion Sizes - The Good, the Bad, and the Ridiculous

Papa John's and Pizza Hut both determine a "portion size" of their medium pizza to be 2 slices. They, however, give the nutritional value per single slice (usually between 300-400 per medium slice). This is reflected in the fact they say one pizza "serves 4 people" as well, I guess.

I am the only person who sees "serves 4 people" as a challenge to be overcome?

Haha, you'd love one of my mates that thinks a serving size is whatever packet the food came in. From a single Milky Way to a full freezer bag of oven chips, when the packet's open, that's what he believes is the "serving". And I'm not joking, he has an almost OCD-necessity to consume something once it's open.

Can't say I'm surprised. You have an American flag in your sig.

I normally eat around half a pizza.

If you're talking about a standard oven pizza (goodfellas type size) or a medium sized takeaway pizza, the that's seriously ****ing lame.


I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

I actually normally follow the serving guides; I half everything and measure everything. Even the other day I had to get the scales out to measure something like '100g' of frozen chips, because that's the amount it listed on the packet.

You won't starve, you just think you will. But then, I'm the person who uses a calculator in the supermarket to work out calorie contents per day (680 for today if you're so interested.)

Oh, and if people want crisps, they sell some in Marks and Spencers at only 89 calories a packet.

A standard oven pizza serves two...

The RDA for alcohol

The RDA is the equivalent of about 10 pints of lager.

As a maximum amount it's quite reasonable imo. I'm sure I have weeks (or even nights) where I drink more than that(Christmas/new years), but those aren't normal weeks.
