Sodium

Each serving of the cheesy enchilada dip contains 160 milligrams of sodium.

How much dip do you eat on a single chip? That varies person by person.

If you eat six tablespoons of this dip, you consume approximately 480 milligrams of sodium. That amount (480mg) is about 20% of the daily limit of sodium recommended by the FDA (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

2 tablespoons = 1 serving so 6 tablespoons = 3 servings
160mg / serving * 3 servings = 480mg sodium

This is an example of why it’s a good idea to understand not only the nutrition facts per serving, but also the serving size. The serving size is a guideline to help standardize and compare products.

But, the serving size may be significantly smaller than the actual amount consumed. To calculate actual grams of fat, sodium, or other nutrient consumed, simply multiply the amount per standard serving (2 tablespoons) times the amount actually consumed.
