How Much Meat Should We Consume Each Week?

Reducing The Amount of Meat Eaten Can Lower LDL Cholesterol.

The amount of meat individuals should consume per week will vary based on different factors such as age, sex, activity level, dietary preferences, and a person's overall health goals. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the dietary guidelines provided, it is recommended for Americans to consume moderate amounts of meat.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting red meat consumption. This includes beef, pork, and lamb, and opting for lean cuts when consumed. It is suggested to remove the skin from poultry before consumption which can be a healthier option. Fatty fish like salmon, are recommended for their omega-3 fatty acids.

It is commonly recommended to aim for approximately 3 to 4 ounces (85 to 113 grams) of cooked lean meat, poultry, or fish per serving. In addition, limit consumption to about 1 to 2 servings per day, or 7 to 14 servings per week.

It is important to understand that people who are following a specific dietary plan to change their eating habits, such as vegetarianism or veganism would have different guidelines in regards to meat consumption. In addition, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian before making any changes to your diet. They can provide personalized recommendations based on individual health needs and preferences.
