Protein Foods
Meats, fish, poultry, eggs and cheese are in this
group. They give you protein as well as many
vitamins and minerals. Eat three servings or
more each day. One serving is considered to
be:
- Two ounces of meat, fish, chicken or
turkey. An ounce is the size of a slice of
bologna or other cold cut. A typical chicken
leg has about two ounces of meat on it. A
typical hamburger patty is three
ounces.
- two eggs
- two slices of cheese or two 1-inch
cubes
- one cup of cooked beans or peas. This
would be about the size of two scoops of ice
cream.
- two handfuls of nuts
- a thick coating of peanut butter on a
typical slice of bread
