    Beef, for lack of a better word, is good.

    Agreed!

    It's great for you. It has an amazing amino acid profile, micronutrient profile (zinc, B12, iron, selenium, riboflavin, phosphorous), and has all kinds of positive effects on male hormone production.

    Absolutely, as long as it finds its balance in your week with other other meats and foods. Too much red meat can be bad for your heart and vascular system in general. Other than that . . . I love red meat. i'm about to eat some right now. :heart:

    I don't know but I'm staring at some Mongolian Beef right now and I swear it is calling my name.

    Soup for me. :(

    growing up, my family was more into pork and deer... beef was really only once or twice a month. I like chicken better only because I have trouble with my stomach when I do eat beef. burgers aren't too bad but steak is, I like my steak to still be mooing on my plate and don't care if I have stomach pains for the next 3 days because of it. But I still only eat beef once every couple of months- usually in Aug. and Dec. for mine and my mothers birthdays when we go out somewhere nice.

    I eat it a whole lot less than I used to, but I do like an occasional steak. It's the burgers (and often what I want on the burgers) that I've had to stop completely. It actually helps with iron too--for some reason, the best foods for iron, like bread and beef, are the ones blessed with carbs and fat and cholesterol! Keep up the good work, and enjoy your weekly steak!

    burgers rock ..I make one with avocado, american cheese, tomato and onion..so freaking good...

    It's gross.

    Personal preference is one thing, I agree. I prefer a good steak.

    Beef is not evil. Like anything else, eat in moderation. Grass fed beef has omega 3's which are good for you. So if you can get it- go for grass fed.

    I eat it regularly. Sometimes several times a week when I make something that gives me 2-3 meals.

    I bought a quarter grass-fed cow from a local farm in the fall. 100 lbs of meat plus bones for stock and the dog. I'm slowly working my way through the freezer.

    I try not to char it. That's where the carcinogens come in.

    I eat beef almost daily. I buy it when it's on sale, portion it into 6-8 ounce steaks in ziplock bags and freeze it. It's my favorite protein. Nom Nom Nom. Oh and i'm pretty healthy.

    I do the same thing.

    I was raised on a beef cattle farm so we had some type of beef every night.

    I'm usually a pretty plain burger person. Regular fixing minus onions, plus cheese. However, have you ever tried a peanut butter burger. My favourite local restaurant has an awesome one with a peanut butter sauce and bacon. Mmm.

    Too much of anything is a bad thing. Just eat in moderation :-)

    It could be overcooked. I like my meat so rare I only eat unicorns.

    Beef is good but having it every day will most likely give you too much iron which can cause long term health issues.
