Milliequivalents (mEq or meq) relate to the charge of an atom, important
in reactions in solution. Different atoms will have different weights
relating to their mEqs, depending in their charge.

Look here for a table (scroll down to 'Importance of Diet') giving mEqs
of potassium (K+) in different foods, per serving:
