Portion Size Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Total Calories (TC) in a portion size is:

\[ TC = CPS \cdot S \]

Where:

\( TC \) is the Total Calories.
\( CPS \) is the Calories Per Serving.
\( S \) is the Number of Servings.

What is Portion Size?

Portion size refers to the amount of food or drink that is considered a single serving. The concept is crucial for dietary planning and understanding nutritional content. Portion sizes can vary depending on dietary guidelines, packaging, and individual dietary needs. Knowing the portion size helps in managing calorie intake and maintaining a balanced diet.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Calories Per Serving (CPS): 200
Number of Servings (S): 3

Using the formula to calculate the Total Calories:

\[ TC = 200 \cdot 3 = 600 \text{ calories} \]

This means that the total calories for this example is 600 calories.
