Brush up on smart portions by perusing the nutrition facts on food labels — and read on for more sound serving-size tips.

I got six out of seven but I think I'm right on the seventh one. A serving size of cheese is an ounce according to almost every cheese product you can buy in the store. The article says natural cheese has a serving size of 1 and 1/2 ounces, but where do they get this from? It's totally arbitrary what a "serving size" is. The industry or the FDA usually sets it. As far as I can tell this woman just pulled the number out of her ass. Besides, you shouldn't be eating more than a couple ounces anyway. That's already well over two hundred calories for a snack that lasts a few seconds.
