The USDA My Plate campaign offers different ways to envision a serving of meat: 1  Picture slightly less than one-quarter of your dinner plate as the meat serving.  Limit your meat serving to 3 ounces, or the approximate size of a deck of cards and the palm of your hand. This serving size allows you to get 2 more ounces of other protein, such as eggs, nuts or beans.
Serving Sizes and Portions Portions and Servings: What's the Difference? A portion is the amount of food that you choose to eat for a meal or snack. It can be big or small, you decide. A serving is a measured amount of food or drink, such as one slice of bread or one cup (eight ounces) of milk. Many foods that come as a single portion actually contain multiple servings. The Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods, on the backs of cans, sides of boxes, etc. tells you the number of servings in the container.
