servings
Measured meal amounts
Servings is the plural of serving—portions of food or drink given to one person at a time.
Recipe yields are measured in servings: This recipe makes six servings.
Nutritional labels list calories per serving.
The word implies measured amounts rather than helping yourself: The package contains four servings, but I ate the whole thing.
