A serving of potato chips should be about 15 grams of carbs. But who wants to stop there if you’re in full snack mode. And then there’s all the fat too. The plugger doesn’t want to think about that.
This reminded me of my college roommate. He would sit down each weekend with a family size bag of chips and a 2 liter of mountain dew. “I’ve been saving up for this all week”, and he would finish both.
This is a rehash of one McKee used about a year ago. The line went something like “Regardless the size, a bag of potato chips contains only one serving.”
So, an open bag, box or packaging doesn’t transform it into ‘a serving’. We all just know exposing the contents to air will make it ‘go bad’ in mere minutes. And we’ve been taught to not waste food. Even at the expense of our waist.
Someone said at a meeting, “Hey, let’s cut up our product, make make smaller bags of bite-size and we will be able to put in less product and we can charge more!”

I bet it also determines how big each of the eleven chips are in order to make a single serving.

Potato foods turn into glucose in the body, bad for a plugger needing to control blood sugar.

It’s like the label that says a bag of microwaved popcorn contains 2.5 servings…

For a Plugger, 1 Serving = 1 Sitting. That’s why I like the individually package snacks!

But when they are all broken, you just have to guesstimate. Let the chips fall where they may.

the most relatable comic this year for me, why is eating LESS harder than eating MORE shouldn’t it be easier??

Pluggers don’t read the instructions.. they shop and allot portions by bag size

It bugs me when you buy the assorted package, each bag is lunch box sized, but the bag says 1.5 servings.

Chips are French fries in England, and really good! Have great hot dogs there too.
