The thing about eating a whole bag of chips in one sitting...

I looked at the nutrition label on a family size bag of Cool Ranch Doritos yesterday and found out it has 8 servings, not 4 like I thought. That means I've been eating 1200 calories in one go without even noticing. Am I the only one who just ignores the serving size on bags like this?

I started pouring chips into a small bowl instead of eating from the bag, which cut my snack down to about one serving without me having to think about it. I also started looking at the calories per piece instead of per serving, so for Doritos that's about 10 chips for 150 calories, and it helped me realize how fast those numbers add up. It takes a little getting used to, but now I actually enjoy the chips more because I'm not just mindlessly eating through half the bag.

The "enjoying them more" part is REAL @jones.angela, that small bowl trick makes every bite feel like a TREAT.
