National Nutrition Survey reveals how much red meat Australians are consuming
The 2023 national nutrition survey from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, published in September 2025, shows women are eating substantially less red meat than men, averaging 47.8g a day with men consuming on average 64.3g per day. The Australian Dietary Guidelines (ADGs) advise up to 65g per day (a maximum of 455g cooked lean red meat per week) to enhance dietary variety and reduce some of the health risks associated with consuming excess meat.
