Meat and dairy guidelines have changed. What and how much should we now eat? - Health - ABC News

That's according to the Heart Foundation, which earlier this week updated its guidelines of what to eat to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. For the first time, the health body put a specific limit on the amount of red meat Australians should consume: no more than three lean meals (totalling 350 grams) of unprocessed beef, pork, lamb or veal a week. It's also important to limit our intake of processed or deli meats, according to Heart Foundation chief medical advisor Garry Jennings. "People should get most of their heart-healthy protein from plant sources such as beans, lentils and tofu, as well as fish and seafood, with a smaller amount from eggs and lean poultry," he said. The limit on eggs, however, has been lifted: they contain good quality protein and are a source of healthy fats.
