The Mediterranean Diet
No. 8 - Meats
Less meat and lean meats. The median consumption was about 4 ounces of meat per day. The rule of thumb is to eat red meat only about once a week. When you are choosing meats, look for leaner cuts that will have less saturated fats. Most recipes on the website use 4 ounces as a standard serving in a recipe whether it is beef, lamb, poultry or fish.
