Portion and serving sizes seem to come up all the time, but it's still easy to be confused or lose track of just how much a "serving size" of any particular food item is. Given I don't usually hear "fat" discussed in terms of servings or portions (usually it's just a percentage of your total diet), when I came across this article I was curious: just how big is one serving of fat, anyway?

Well the answer is: one serving of fat = one teaspoon of fat. But the only kinds of fats that can really be measured this way are things like cooking oil, butter, margarine, etc., so it doesn't help us out a whole heck of a lot. I guess that's why fat is rarely talked about in terms of "serving size."

Still, now you know!
