Serving Size - Whey Protein

Packaging
1

Hello group! I have a question about serving size that I would love some feedback on.

Should I account for moisture in a whey protein powder when determining serving size? Product has about 5% moisture.

I think the serving size should be 43 g/0.95 = 45.2 g? Rather that 43 g serving size without considering moisture.

Any thoughts?

The weight is the weight. Your serving size should be 43g.

Nothing specific, other than all food contains moisture and that moisture is included in the serving size. If you reduce your serving size to adjust for moisture content then you are under portioning.
You would also have to recalculate the NFT.
