How much?

So how much is a lot or a little?

For foods that you eat in large amounts, like ready meals, look at the ‘amount per serving’. For snacks, and other foods you eat in smaller amounts, look at the ‘per serving’ information.

The table below gives you a rough guide to the quantities, any food that meets or exceeds the amounts in the ‘A lot’ column you should really leave on the shelf, apart from the fibre which is better to have a ‘a lot’ than a little.
