Work out serving size instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Serving weight is the finished dish weight divided by the number of servings; dividing by the target size instead tells you how many portions the batch really yields. Recipes state servings but not portion weight, so the same 'serves six' dish can be 150 g or 300 g a head, which matters for both nutrition labels and buying.
