Ummmm .... where to start. It's dehydrated, which means there's no water in it so it's very light. If you add (don't knowhow much you actually need for this product) a cup of water, that would make it 8 oz. heavier for a total of 12 oz., more like what you'd need for a meal for two. More to your point, I have used this meal several times and if you have tortillas, salsa, etc., it's almost enought for three people. The servings are generous.
