【Expert answer】
Any Q

A serving is a standardized, recommended amount of a food; a portion is the amount of that food you eat. A single serving of meat is 3 ounces, but you might eat more than one serving in a portion.


How much meat is a single serving?

According to the USDA, a serving is considered 1 ounce of meat, poultry or fish, ¼ cup cooked beans, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, or ½ ounce of nuts or seeds. Based on a 2000 calorie per day diet, it is recommended to consume 5.5 ounces of protein per day.

How do you measure a serving size of meat?

Because hand sizes vary, compare your fist size to an actual measuring cup. Two servings, or 6 oz., of lean meat (poultry, fish, shellfish, beef) should be a part of a daily diet. Measure the right amount with your palm. One palm size portion equals 3 oz., or one serving.

How big is a 4 oz serving of meat?

4 oz of raw, lean meat is about 3 ounces after cooking. 3 oz of grilled fish is the size of a checkbook. A medium apple, peach, or orange is about the size of a tennis ball.
