    There's no such thing as too much meat... but Id make my meal lower in fat and add some carbs there (sweet potato maybe?), your muscles need them!

    That's great, man!

    Maybe you should spread the word to this VEGAN lifter who eats plants after his workouts.... I think he would LOVE to have the same muscles you're building with your exclusive, magical source of protein.

    Just because he is "VEGAN" does not mean he does not have any protein in his meals/snacks. There are other sources of protein.... Just sayin...

    Bro, colorectal cancer is a serious killer of men in this great country of ours. 95%+ is caused by diet alone.

    I know you guys love your chicken and I'm not telling anyone to give it up but when people think it's okay to celebrate having unlimited amounts of meat than that scares me. My heart dropped when I read the stream of replies in this thread. :frown:

    I eat that much meat and don't lift heavy, or really at all. I suppose that's why I'm here in the first place

    If it fits in your macros! (and agrees with your body!)
    I agree with the sweet potato comment. Muscles need potassium!

    red meat is fine if you're a meat eater but of course the fat content is higher than in chicken or pork :) Avocados are good for you!
    If you can handle non-meat protein like beans, great! since your bod needs fibers and such as well

    I tend to grab almonds and hard boiled eggs post workout since I have kind of a far dive and you don't want to wait too long to eat post workout.

    There's loads of things you can consume!

    Why so much snark on meat eaters? I gave my opinion on "there is no such thing as too much meat" (obviously meaning in a healthy individual), as a bodybuilder but also as a doctor (a veterinarian that is). If you are healthy, if you balance out that high animal protein diet (lots of fiber!), if you workout (lifting heavy!!) there is no need to panic about colon cancer (Also, how much meat can someone eat? It depends on their weight too... A 280 pound bodybuilder will kinda need a lot!). There are some great vegan athletes that spring to mind- actually two of my favorite athletes ever (ok, not bodybuilders), antoinette pacheco and frank medrano (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0oVeDXzpdo) are vegan, and they look fantastic and do mind-boggling things. That does not mean that other fantastic athletes are vegan. To each their own, and this tone is not something Id like to see on MFP. We're here to offer advice and help to each other, not snark or sarcasm

    Rabbit food is little pellets from the petshop.

    Hey OP don't fret, I occasionally will stop on my way home from the gym and get a whole hot-n-ready roaster chicken and eat the whole thing. (only on really intense lifting days, usually i'll just settle for a couple of chicken breasts bbq'ed) just make sure you eat enough other things to balance out tha huge amount of protein, and protect your kidneys!

    I'd have eaten the whole avocado and added a ton of raw salad veggies (peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, arugula, etc) plus some lime juice. Which means I would have probably had enough steak left over for a meal the following day.

    Other than that, sounds like a good start to a meal.
