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.
THIS is where a lot of restaurants get you with their cryptic labeling. Serving size is the recommended amount a person should eat. In this case, it does not necessarily tell you that the whole sandwich is about 242 grams total. Instead, rather, it is possible that the serving size intended is only half the sandwich. Companies do this kind of thing to trick people into buying the product that is only 4 grams fat per serving. What they screw us over with is their expectation that a small bag of chips is TWO servings and not one.
