A single serving of red meat is around the size of your fist. With a society heavily
concerned with super-sizing our meals, the recommended portion will be a challenge, but one worth taking on. By replacing red meat with fish, poultry

You don’t necessarily have to eliminate red meat from your diet, but as always, moderation is key. If you are an avid red meat eater, shoot for two servings per week. As delicious as that burger looks, it’s definitely not worth dying for.
Safe eating my darlings!
