Less Is More Eating less red and processed meats may mean more health benefits. Accumulating evidence indicates that limiting the number of servings per day may reduce risk of heart disease. Researchers found that those who ate the most red meat (at least 2 servings a day) had a 29% higher risk of heart disease than those who ate the least (half a serving a day). But what constitutes a serving? For most studies, one serving of red meat is 3 ounces, about the size of a deck of cards or the palm of your hand. For processed deli meats, one serving is 1 ounce or about 1 slice. A serving of bacon is ½ ounce or about two slices.
