Servings

I've heard that eating one or two servings of fish a week will reduce your chances of getting heart disease.

Did you just eat forty servings of pudding?

I ate three servings.

Yanni ate four servings of Skura's stew.

Tom ate three servings of stew.

In the 1980s when my family visited California, I noticed that the servings in food courts were larger than in BC's. Ladies in roller skates served impressively gigantic glasses of lemonade. The population is bigger in that state than in my province, so it has an economic effect.

The draft recommendation states that pregnant women should eat at least 8 ounces and up to 12 ounces (2–3 servings) per week of a variety of fish, according to a news release from the FDA.

In 2004, U.S. government food and environment regulators cautioned pregnant women not to eat more than 340 grams or 12 ounces of fish a week, the amount in two normal servings. The aim was to reduce their exposure to mercury, which contaminates fish worldwide.
