Newbie questions about snack portions

Postby Ketann » May 10th, 2006, 7:13 am

I apologize if this has been asked.

I only like the whole pickles sold in the deli
department. I am assuming when MF states "2 pickles" as a snack they are referring to the jarred quartered versions. If I cut the wole pickle in half, would that be considered 1 snack? I used to like the jar ones, but got spoiled when I moved to NY.

What size can the celery pieces be?

Thanks for any answers. :)

I think they mean whole pickles. When I went to get pickles, they were out of the quarter sliced ones that I like due to a great sale, all they had left were whole ones. I got those (Claussen - the best!) and they say 10 calories and 2g carbs per.

The new Quick Start says "two pickle spears" so those would be the pieces, not the whole ones. The old one said two medium pickles, I think. So I think half a regular-size pickle would be about right.

As for celery, they're counted in whole stalks.

We follow the serving size guidelines as there are different sizes. If its a big deli pickle, its one. If its jarred whole dills, its about 2, if its the baby dills, one oz is a serving. Thats how Diana and I figure it.
