A single serving of Oreos, or about 150 calories, is just two cookies!
When's the last time you ate just two Oreos?
Yeah, we can't recall the last time we did either. Yet that is the standard FDA serving size listed on the back of the package.*
Read on to see what the standard serving size — or around 150 calories — of your other favorite snack foods looks like.
Bear Naked Go Bananas Granola: 1/4 cup
Granola is commonly touted as a health food, but in reality it's pretty high in sugar, carbs, and calories and not very high in protein. A quarter-cup serving has:
150 calories
7 grams of fat
18 grams of carbohydrates
3 grams of protein
Twizzlers: 4 twists
This movie snack is fat-free but still pretty high in calories. Just four sticks have:
160 calories
0.5g fat
36g carbs
1g protein
Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter: 2 tbsp
Despite being a classic sandwich ingredient and go-to snack, peanut butter is pretty high in calories and fat, with two tablespoons of the spread having:
190 calories
16g fat
7g carbs
7g protein
Post Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds: 3/4 cup
Cereal is an easy breakfast choice when you're running low on time, but less than a cup of Honey Bunches of Oats — not including the milk — has:
130 calories
2.5 grams of fat
26 grams of carbohydrates
2 grams of protein
Blue Diamond Oven Roasted Sea Salt Almonds: 1 oz (24 nuts)

170 calories
15 grams of fat
5 grams of carbohydrates
6 grams of protein
Lay's Classic Potato Chips: 1 oz (15 chips)
This one's just depressing.

140 calories
5g fat
20g carbs
3g protein
Planters Tropical Nut and Fruit Trail Mix: 1/4 cup
Along with granola, trail mix is touted as a quick source of healthy energy. But beware the serving sizes. Just a quarter-cup of Planter's Tropical nut and fruit mix — the amount that would fit in a single hand — has:
150 cals
10g fat
5g carbs
4g protein
*In May 2016, the FDA announced that it was updating its serving sizes to better reflect how much of these snack foods we actually eat. Those changes are expected to go into effect next summer.
