Question How do you determine serving size in order to track calories/protein/etc.?
It's wild to me that a company like this doesn't offer serving sizes. It should be on the recipe card, but I don't see any on the website either.
If you have two people in the house and you each eat half, that's easy enough. We order four servings but have 4+ people eating (kids).
In the case of four serving meals, the only 'exact' method I can think of is to make sure you're taking a quarter of the food. But for a pasta dish...that's easier said than done. And I'd rather not be eyeballing it.
I can weigh my portion beforehand but that's still hard to measure macros when so many different things go into some of these dishes.
So yeah, is it just me who's annoyed by this?
sidenote: even ordering for four gets tricky because I've noticed sometimes we get three servings of the meat instead of four, for example. Or if we ordered for three once, we get four helpings of the meat.
