Portion Sizes

Portioning is one topic that we would like to address with all of our friends who have discovered pastured beef. While it is true that pastured beef is miles ahead nutritionally of feedlot beef, it does not mean that it is healthy to vastly increase the portion size! Even if you consume the same size portion as you did with feedlot beef, you will probably be healthier just from the quality of the pastured beef.

Eating the recommended size portions is important to our health today. These portion sizes generally appear exceedingly modest to most Americans; it seems we have gotten used to "super-sizing" our portions of everything!

An easy reference, while not precise but easy to implement, is that your piece of meat should be no larger than the size of the palm of your hand. A child's hand is smaller and so therefore is the corresponding portion of meat.
