Who Determines
Serving Sizes?
Why does the Food Guide
Pyramid list a half-cup of pasta
as “one serving” of bread? I
don’t know anyone who eats
only a half-cup of pasta at a
time.
Serving sizes used in the Food
Guide Pyramid aren’t just based
on what might be typically eaten
by consumers. Also taken into
consideration are other foods

within the same food group and
the nutrients they contain.
For example, serving sizes of
foods in the dairy group offer
similar amounts of calcium as
you’d get in 1 cup of milk.
That’s why the Food Guide lists
both 1.5 ounces of natural
cheese and 2 ounces of pro
cessed cheese as “one serving.”
You can usually count on natu
ral cheese to have more calcium.
Also, the Food
Guide Pyramid uses
readily recognized
household measures
that people can easily
multiply or divide. So,
although most people
usually eat more than
a half-cup of pasta or
more than 1 slice of
bread during a meal,
they also can multiply
those measures by two
or three to determine
the overall number of
servings they’re con
suming.
In fact, surveys
reveal men typically
eat at least 1 cup, or
two servings, of pasta
at a sitting, while
women more typically
eat three-quarters cup,
or 1.5 servings. The
same can be said for
ready-to-eat cereals.
Also, most people eat
two slices of bread at a
time or about 2 ounces
of muffins, rather than
the 1 slice or 1 ounce
listed as Pyramid serv
ing sizes. All this
makes it very easy to
reach the 6-11 servings
of breads and grains
recommended in the
Food Guide Pyramid.
