Spaghetti with meat sauce and cheese, bean loaf with the addition of a little leftâ€"over meat are other examples. beans and peas do not contain all the building material found in meat but if milk is served generâ€" ously that day the deficit will be laggely overcome. _ ~ When meat alternates are used to replace the daily serving of meat, servings should be generous say the Division‘s nutritionists. One egg will not supply enough of the ho(fv building materials to reâ€" place a, serving ofâ€" meat but two will.
