How much ham should I/my child be eating each week?
Current dietary recommendations for the Republic of Ireland advise that we eat 2 servings from the protein group (meat, fish and alternatives) every day It is a good idea to vary the foods that we eat from this group so as we get a good mix of all the nutrients we need.
Each of the following count as a serving:
- 2oz (56g) cooked lean meat or poultry (e.g. ham, lean beef, chicken) or
- 3oz (84g) cooked fish or
- 2 eggs (not more than 7 per week)
- 9 dessertspoons cooked peas/beans or
- 2oz (56g) Cheddar type cheese (preferably low fat) or
- 3oz nuts (not suitable for young children)
