Daily How Much

Worldwide meat supply averages ~44.5 kg per person per year, with big gaps by region and poultry and pork leading the mix.

For sustainable meat intake, aim for about 100–200 g red meat per week, plus modest poultry or fish, while centering meals on plants.

On keto, aim for 1.2–1.7 g protein/kg—about 9–18 oz cooked meat per day, split across meals.

For daily meat intake, 80–120 grams cooked meat fits most adults alongside beans, dairy, or fish.

For keto meat intake, aim for 1.2–1.6 g/kg protein, which lands at about 8–16 oz cooked meat a day, split across two to three meals.

The average adult can meet protein needs with 0.8–1.0 g/kg daily, so meat portions stay modest within a mixed weekly plan.

For daily meat intake, keep cooked portions to 3–4 ounces at a meal and cap red meat to about 12–18 ounces per week.

Most adults on a carnivore plan land around 1–2 pounds of cooked meat daily, guided by 1.0–1.5 g protein per kg body weight and appetite.

On the keto diet, aim for 1.2–1.7 g protein/kg body weight; that usually means 3–6 ounces of meat per meal.

Daily meat intake: 2–3 ounces cooked suits most adults; keep red and processed options limited and rotate poultry and fish.
