Nutrition:
The serving size depends on many variables. The size of your pan, thickness and size of your bars are the biggest ones. My bars were cut into 20 even bars about an inch wide. The smaller your bars the less calories you consume in one sitting. However, the smaller the bar the less protein you are consuming.
