^eThe number of meat and alternatives servings shown counts dry beans and peanut butter as meat alternatives. Examples of 1-ounce equivalents are 1 oz fish; 1 egg; 1/4 cup cooked dry beans, peas, or lentils; and 1/2 oz peanut butter. If dry beans were counted in the vegetable category, as is done usually, the serving size would be 1/2 cup cooked dry beans. One lb of dried beans per mo (or the equivalent of canned dry beans) provides less than 1/4 cup of cooked dry beans per day (that is, less than one 1-ounce equivalent per day as a meat alternative).

NOTES: † = all servings are from juice; c = cups; oz equiv = ounce equivalent. ~ indicates approximate amounts. Amounts are rounded, and amounts from the revised food package are based on yields of specified foods.
