If it says there are 10 servings, I take 10 small bags and divide up the entire bag or box. Then i return to small bags into the original bag or box. Then when I reach in to get it, i have the exact portion size and I also write the point cound on the box or bag. in fact, it is helpful to write the points down on everything when you get it home and you won't have to go back and double check aqgain.
