I dont know about the healthy harvest, I know on the Barilla plus thing the portions where they are comparing protein etc. are 100g which is often a standard for comparing nutrient density. Not a great excuse, but a lot of nutrient comparison (in nutrition reports, dietician material etc.) is based on 100 g as a universal standard. Which is slightly less than 4 oz.
But the USDA has determined that pasta is a 2 oz serving.
It's like a bottle of juice may be 20 oz (the size of the can) or 2.5 8 oz servings
I like one of the beverages I saw recently that had nutrition info for both the std 8 oz serving and the full 20 oz bottle.
I remember my mom telling me once about these fantastic ravioli she got at costco and the whole bag was HUGE and only had 450 calories. So she made up the whole bag for the 2 of us and it was indeed enormous portion. 10 or 11 giant ravioli for 225 calories. Uh. I dont get stuffed to the gills on 225 calories.
My mom thought the serving size was 7 ravioli and the bag had 3 servings. The serving size was 3 ravioli and the bag had 7 servings. 1050 calories per bag.
3 ravioli was NOT a large serving.
