Serving size is based on the nutrients delivered by a specific amount of a particular food. Beef and pork, which tend to be higher in fat than chicken or fish, are smaller for "one serving," while a serving of chicken or fish can be almost twice as much as a single serving of beef. Foods are scaled based on the Food Pyramid, which is intended to help us make good choices to put together a healthful diet/eating regimen.
