which cut of steak?

tarab21 Posts: 508 Joined: 2003/03/31	2003/07/03, 05:49 PM Okay, here's the deal: I NEED to have a steak tonight, period. Not a huge steak, just something to calm my craving. What cut is generally the leanest?

I have a question...with all these big steaks, what is an actual serving size...I read on here that its like 3 OZ....that's wouldn't fill a mouse. -------------- Diet- Only take what you need...There is no fine line between want and need, there is the whole continent of South America.~Dick
azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/07/05, 04:07 AM Serving size more or less depends on your own nutrition plan. My daily intake is 2000 cal max and a 200 protein max. So with 5-6 meals I use 5-6oz servings. Tara's intake is a lot less then mine so she probably uses 4-5oz svgs. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
richardjst Posts: 410 Joined: 2002/07/13	2003/07/05, 03:36 PM Cool...so in reference to something else, how big would a 5-6 oz of serving be...the size of a hand, fist, I really dont know...I think this is the reason that the population of the US is continuing to get heavier...we don't know how much a serving size is. -------------- Diet- Only take what you need...There is no fine line between want and need, there is the whole continent of South America.~Dick
