Specifically, the Philippine Brand Dried Mangoes. They are amazingly good.

But there is a slight problem. Costco sells them in 30 oz bulk packs, which is 20 servings at 160 calories/serving or 3200 calories total. Left to my own devices and lack of self discipline, I could probably eat (and subsequently regret eating) the entire bag of mangoes.

I need a self-check to disgust myself and impose a bit more of a speedbump than an already-opened bag provides. So I fired up the FoodSaver and made individual serving sized-bags:

Each was individually weighed to be one serving:

I ended up making 20:
