Are you eating enough red meat?

Moderation is often used as a philosophy when referring to how much food you should eat. In principle it’s a good philosophy, after all no one has ever died from moderation. But it can also lack context; what moderation looks like to one person could be a lot or indeed a little to another. Here is how you can ensure you’re eating enough to get the nourishment from red meat.

 

 
As part of a healthy balanced diet, the World Cancer Research Fund and the Ministry of Health recommend eating up to 350-500g of cooked red meat per week, that’s 3-4 meals a week.

700-750g raw red meat equates to ~500g cooked or 4 meat meals.

As a guide to help you measure out a portion, just in case you don’t have a set of scales at home, think of a deck of playing cards and that will roughly equate to around 100g of cooked beef and lamb.
