Ok, so I eat unhealty. Extremely unhealthy. I've rounded it to around 6000 Calories a day. three times the normal amount for the "Average Adult". I know I will pay for it, so this topic is not about it. I'm talking about the !@#$% serving size. Example;

Pop-Tarts: Serving size:: One Pop-Tart.

One Pop-Tart...? Theres two in a !@#$% Wrapper, what do I do with the other one?

Cheez-It's: Serving size:: 27 Crackers.

I quite litterally just took a handful of Cheez-It's, there are now 22 Cheez-It's in my hand. I usually have about 6 of these, if not the whole box if i'm especially hungry.

Pizza Rolls: Serving size:: 6 Pizza Rolls.

Holy !@#$%? Who feels good after 6 Pizza Rolls? I usually have half a package, which is 26 Pizza Rolls for christ sake!

Monster Energy Drink: Serving Size:: About half a can.

Half a can, godamn guys I don't even have to spell this last one out that's just plain stupidity.

Does anyone else hate this !@#$%?

So what! I wanna get out! 'Cos there's so much out there! So many different people, living different lives! Incredibly good guys, bad guys... Folks completely different from us! It's one huge melting pot! See, it's not about success, dying in the streets, who's better, who's not! I just want to be a part of it! I realized that even if I've no connections, no talent, even if I'm one big loser, I want to use my hands and feet to think and move, to shape my own life! We can just die here or we can try, see what we've got!

I know serving sizes aren't idea, but they are based on the idea of how much someone who is on a 2,000 calorie diet would be eating or drinking. So yeah they are going to be messed up for the average person who takes in an average of 3,000 calories.

Here are the average calorie intakes for 20 different countries.

Well, Irish people have potatoes to eat, and Belgians tend to eat a lot of eggs.

If they put on more on, anything extra they put on would be wasted on me. I can barely finish (and sometimes can't) what is there at the moment.

Meh, I don't care. I have a high metabolism, and I do exercise and eat some good stuff so I'm not that bad off. But I do eat like you, surprisingly. (I eat whole boxes of pizza rolls, though.)

How about you let him eat what he wants and don't judge his lifestyle?

Anyway, yeah, it pisses me off too. I eat like you as well, sometimes if I'm hungry I'll just grab a box the equivalent of cheez and eat it through an hour or so.

The worst is the bags of chips. Even the little muthafucking party size things with about 20 chips in them say that each serving is "6 chips". Do they think that we're going to eat just six and leave the remaining 14 for tomorrow?
!@#$% retarded.

Seriously? I don't eat much junk food, and I can still recognize that things like this are stupid. Has anyone ever noticed that Sharon always gets bitchy whenever we talk about food on ZFGC?

Well, that's the reason serving sizes are so small; the foods you eat are !@#$% and they want you to eat as little as possible.  When something is that high in calories; they're not going to recommend that you eat an assload of it.

It's all about appearances and marketing.

It looks a lot better if the food looks healthier, even though they are not giving an accurate representation of what someone would actually eat.

Put the second Pop-Tart in the fridge

Cheese-its are nasty.

The meaty pizza rolls rule, i agree you need to eat more then six of those, but 30? Good lord.

Energy drinks are bad for you all around.

you must have the metabolism of an olympic swimmer pedal.

Eating a whole box of cheez-its... somehow I'm not understanding how 26 cheez-its is an unreasonable amount. A whole box seems like just being a pig in my opinion.

Not true, if you are doing high-performance activity Energy drinks are fine.

Yeah, as people have said, unfortunately the people who do serving sizes have to do it for an average 2000 calorie diet, so serving sizes have to be minimised, just look at the 100 gram part then multiply by the amount of grams in box/packet

Also moldrill, I find it easy to eat the equivalent (I think) of a packet of cheez just by eating them while playing video games etc.
