Inclusion of eligible dinners
Red meat dinners were defined as dinners containing at
least 30 g of prepared red meat and B30 g of prepared fish
or fish products. Fish dinners were defined as dinners
containing at least 30 g of prepared fish or fish products
and B30 g of prepared meat or meat products. We chose to
include all types of meat and not only red meat in the 30-g
upper limit for fish dinners to include dinners in which fish
was the main protein component rather than meat products
not defined as red meat, such as poultry or game. The 30-g
limit was set to include dinners containing at least a meat
or fish portion corresponding to approximately half of a
sausage or half of a fish cake. Dinners containing B30 g of
either fish or red meat were not included in the analyses.
