RED MEAT?

Maybe once every couple months! I don't miss it at all!

i SWITCHED FROM RED MEAT TO MORE FISH.

Roughly twice a week for dinner, but usually only once where it is the focus of the meal. We might eat a steak one week and a hamburger the next, and our other dinner will be something where we might eat more like 2-3 oz each: pork and veggie stirfry, steak fajitas heavy on the peppers, minestrone soup with ham broth, lamb stew, that kind of thing. DBF eats more as he will often have ham or roast beef sandwiches during the day, where I have a tuna fish or pb&j.

I do most of the cooking and he will not eat seafood, so I try to split our meals up with a couple red meat, a couple poultry, and a couple vegetarian or very nearly so (may have something with ff chicken broth on "vegetarian night". It makes for a nice variety of healthy foods, and it is also pretty inexpensive.

few times a week; usually roast beef.

I don't eat it very often. I typically eat chicken or fish. I tend to eat it a lot more in the summer when I've got the grill out.

I have not eaten meat of any kind for 25 years. Look up how the animals are treated in factory 'farms'...look up health reasons...look up pollution of our planet... I am fit, healthy (run marathons), and nearing fifty many people assume I'm much younger, largely due to my diet. Not to start arguments, just, so you might open your eyes and ears to what the meat industries are doing.

3-4 times a week...get lean cuts and avoid pan frying and heavy sauces.

Never. :-) No animal protein of any kind, actually, but red meat would be last on the list if I did. I don't preach it, but I will share that I am 54 years old, 5'7", 115 lean and healthy pounds and never gain, no matter how I pig out on my whole foods, plant-based diet. Exercise every day - most days a 3-4 mile walk included - sleep great, have more energy than I know what to do with, and have a joy and lightness of spirit in my life that I never had when I ate animals. :-) Don't get me wrong, I did at one time enjoy the taste, and so I know what you mean. But like any other unhealthy habit, the craving DOES go away in time. I loved cigarettes at one time of my life, too, but gave those up over a decade ago. Sometimes we want things that are not best for our health.

To each his/her own. I used to be vegan....now i happily eat meat. It's funny how so many discussions about meat get turned into a lifestyle discussion. I'm very glad being a vegetarian is working so well for you!!!

I know plenty of meat eaters that are ridiculously healthy and look younger than their age A large part of that is due to genetics :flowerforyou: I also know many vegetarians and vegans that look like they've been ran over with a bus because they don't know how to eat a balanced meal.

Vegetarian and Vegan diets are wonderful, but not for everyone. Not to start arguments, but people need to make their own well-informed decisions, regardless of where that decision leads them.

To the OP : We eat red meat probably 3-4 times a week, lean cuts. We also eat a lot of wild game (trukey and venison mostly) that we harvest.

I eat it every week or so, when I can afford it. I buy very lean sirloin steak and trim all the fat off. No chop meat.

I eat a serving of red meat about once or twice a week. Most of my protein comes from chicken or turkey.

I'm not particularly picky about the meat that I eat, so there's no specific "cut" that I go for. I like stews and soups that have red meat in them, but I rarely sit down and have a slab of it.

During my period I usually satisfy my iron deficiency with a giant Five Guys burger. So, I have a burger once a month.

Also, if people are going to moralize about it, I'd suggest eating more cow and less chicken. Birds fare far worse in large factory situations than mammals do, because mammals actually require more upkeep so that the meat doesn't become inedible. Which means they're treated far better than chickens.

Truth.

red meat makes me sick, so like once a month whenever i feel like being mean to my body

Once or twice a week. I go for lean cuts and watch portion size.

I eat it almost daily. Hard to believe I was a vegetarian for more than five years! I crave both red meat and milk now that I'm working out. Someone in another thread mentioned that calcium and protein get used up during exercise, so I thought maybe that was why.
