The portion formula

Protein in your portion = labelled protein × your portion weight ÷ labelled serving weight.Use grams for both weights. Example: 20 g protein per 100 g × 50 g ÷ 100 g = 10 g protein in that portion. The numbers are illustrative.

The same arithmetic applies to other listed nutrient amounts. A US label’s serving size describes a typical amount eaten, not a recommendation. FDA: serving sizes.

Your shopping checklist

  1. Find the serving size and the number of servings in the pack.
  2. Match the label to the portion you plan to eat.
  3. Read protein alongside calories, fiber, saturated fat, sodium and added sugars.
  4. Check ingredients and allergen information on your own pack.
  5. Compare price per portion, then choose for your preferences and budget.

How to use it

Save it on your phone or print at actual size on A4 paper. Keep the formula beside a label when checking a different portion, and use the checklist to compare snacks.
