A TikTok video revealed that the standard serving size for chips is only 10, leaving viewers shocked given their larger consumption habits. While brands like McCain and Birds Eye recommend serving sizes around 110-125g (approximately 10 chips), a 2016 report highlighted that the average portion from chip shops is around 450g. This discrepancy has led to humorous comments from viewers regarding their habits. A Harvard nutritionist suggests even fewer chips should be served, sparking discussions about healthier eating habits and portion control.
'There aren't a lot of people who are sending back three-quarters of an order of French fries. I think it would be nice if your meal came with a side salad a'.
'Huh I eat 10 to see if they are cooked right,' one user commented. Another wrote: 'Every time I eat, I appear to be a family of 4.'
This equates to around 10 chips. The revelation has shocked many users, who have been enjoying far bigger portions up until this point.
The average weight of a small portion of chips is 450g - around four times bigger than the recommended size!
