nutrients in a reference amount of food.
SINGLE SERVING
Serving Size
•
The serving size is found at the top of the nutrition facts table.
•
Serving sizes will always be listed as grams (g) or milliliters (ml). When the
serving size is listed as grams there will also be a familiar measurement, for
example: 1 slice, ½ cup, or ¼ of pizza.
•
T he serving size listed is a reference amount and not necessarily the amount
of food recommended by Canada’s Food Guide or that will be served at the
breakfast club.
•
If a different portion size is served at the breakfast club, the values of the calories
and 13 nutrients found in the nutrition facts table will need to be adjusted to get
a true sense of the nutrition provided by that portion of food.
Refer to Canada’s Food Guide for recommended serving sizes.
