Correct.

There was some health book I was reading last week that was talking about American PORTION sizes. How many see "serving sizes" and mistake what that means. Which they cited as roughly a "cup" is a serving size. Just because the restaurant gives you 5 servings at your meal doesn't mean eat it all and clean the plate.

For example, a bottle of some drink could be 2.5 servings, but people think of it as one bottle, one serving. Or that a candy bar is 2 servings on the wrapper, same concept. Meaning, people will think that whole drink/food is 200 or 400 calories, when in fact it's double.
