What is a unit of Meat, fish and alternatives

Aim to eat 2-3 units each day

1 unit =

3oz (90g) of fish, lean beef, lean pork, lean ham, lean lamb, chicken without the skin.

(3oz (90g) = 1 small chicken breast, 1 small pork loin steak, 1 small salmon fillet (similar in size to a pack of playing cards), small tin of tuna = 100g)

3 tablespoons of mince
3 fish fingers (grilled)
2 eggs
5 tablespoons of baked beans (200g)
4 tablespoons of pulses, lentils or beans
3 tablespoons of soya, quorn or tofu
2 tablespoons of nuts or peanut butter
Remember you can have more than one unit as a portion, for example you could have 6oz of lean pork for a portion of meat at a main meal.
