FAT SCOREBOARD

Use these fat facts to compare products, choose lower - fat foods more often and to track how much fat you are eating each day.

MEAT, FISH, POULTRY AND MEAT ALTERNATIVES

Note: There is no easy way to describe what 3 ounces, or 90 - 100 grams of meat, poultry or fish looks like. It's a small amount, probably much smaller that you are used to eating. As rough guide, the following examples will give you an idea of  what 3 ounces looks like:
- 1 chicken breast (whole chicken has 2 breast portions)
- 1 loin pork chop or 2 loin lamb chops
- 1 piece of meat about the size and thickness of a cooked, quarter - pound hamburger
- 1 fillet of fish about the length of your outstretched hand and as wide as your three middle fingers
