Explanation

There is an important distinction between a 'portion' and a 'serving.' A portion is the amount you choose to eat (which can vary), while a serving is a standardized measurement used on nutrition labels (like '1 cup' or '28 grams'). The USDA recognizes this difference - portions are subjective, servings are objective measurements.
