EDIT: I need serving sizes of some specific foods - amounts of prepared foods eaten by an adult person at one sitting. I need this to put in charts and add calories, nutrients content. It will be published in an online article about nutrients for the educational purpose. Like, "2 tablespoons of oil have about 240 calories"...without mentioning exact brands, but rather only types of food.
So, do below amounts of foods sound like reasonable amounts eaten at one sitting by an adult to you? An average, expected, usual..amount. I know it's hard to imagine what's 100 g of bread, but this is exactly why I ask. Cooks should be familiar with this.
White bread, 100 g
Potatoes, boiled, 150 g
White rice, boiled, 1 cup
Oil (as a salad dressing), 2 tablespoons
Ready-to-eat cereals, cooked, 1 cup
Shortbread cookies 100 g
Chocolate cake, 100 g
Margarine, peanut butter or other spread..., 2 tablespoons
Beef steak, 150 g
What would be amount (in grams) of potatoe chips in one "grab-size bag"? Is this a common term in US or UK?
Some popular nutrition websites, like nutritiondata.com sometimes use unpractically small or big serving sizes, so you don't need to link to these sources...
There is a NLEA (Nutrition Labeling and Education Act) serving size, which is practical, but I can't find any extensive list of foods that would use this measure.
