Serving size

In Canada’s Food Guide, serving size refers to a recommended amount of food for “one Food Guide Serving.” A Food Guide Serving may not be the same as the amount of food you put on your plate. For example, one Food Guide Serving equals 1/2 cup (125 mL) of vegetables. On a Nutrition Facts table, the serving size refers to a specific amount of food that all of the label information is based on.
