So how much meat do you incorporate into your diet? Are you a total vegetarian? Or are you a big meat eater? Or do you just eat meat in moderation?

Personally I'm pretty much a total vegetarian. I generally avoid all meats like the plague. I simply never had much of a liking for it, and there's the fact that a lot of it is extremely unhealthy. Lean meats like turkey and chicken and fish (when NOT deep fried or breaded or anything, of course) are fine, but many prepared meats have a lot of calories and saturated fats and cholestoral, as well as a frightening amount of added salt, without much real nutritional value to make up for it, and red meats especially have been linked to a lot of health problems and I find all of that decidedly unappetizing. I get all the protein I need from all the milk I drink, and my veggies sustain me just fine :yes:

meat is also very important in a diet for the likes of your iron intake and isn't unhealthy if you prepare the food yourself.

Of course if you buy it fresh and unprocessed, then it's okay. But a lot of people don't like the whole process of preparing it and such so they have a tendency to lean towards the frozen, pre-cooked varieties and such.

I lean towards being a vegetarian. I eat meat, just not as much as I eat just veggies.

I eat alot of meat, but definitely eat other things too. I like all forms of meat, but especially game meats like Elk and Buffalo. They taste better than Beef but have 2g of fat per serving instead of 18 like beef...

You do realize milk is bad for you right? I would drink soy milk but my parents won't buy it. :(

I eat meat sometimes. Balanced I guess.

I eat excessive amounts of meat. Vegetables are mixed into the meat (in like burgers and stuff). Yes, that counts as eating vegetables (to me, anyway :P). Fruit: eh.

I don't like steak though.

To the OP, I like meat, but I don't eat a lot of it. I'm fussy as it is, so I usually only eat white meat (only SOMETIMES red meat; since that's unusual for me, and most of it's gross).

Most of the time I'm a "vegetarian" without even trying, lol.

We eat meat 4 to 2 times a week and usually as a lunch. With rice or something that is like a soup(?)(I don't know what it is called in English).

hardly if your not constantly drinking full fat, it's crucial to the diet as it is seen as the easiest way to get your daily need of calcium (without tablet/whatever.)

I drink either no fat or low fat

Or the ones LOADED with sugar. The milk that's made in my city has like 26 grams of sugar or something like that.

Total meat eater here. I love meat. Beef and chicken are my favorites. I'm not big on turkey or pork but I'll eat them. I like red meat because I have low iron levels so it helps keep that under control especially because of my period and everything.

I eat meats a lot, various kinds: muscox, deer, rabbit, shark, goose, veal, chicken, ostrich, beef, buffalo, pig, lamb, frog, snake, etc... . At least each dinner has meat in it of some sort.

I don't eat red meat at all!

Except for that Hard Rock Burger, which was pretty freaking good, and occasionally some ground beef in a Mexican dish.

But I usually enjoy chicken, chicken, shrimp, and chicken.

I drink V8 and strawberry-banana smoothies cada día.

I think almost every meal I eat has meat in it. We always have a fruit or vegetable to go along with it though.

I love myself a good hamburger, steak, or just about other meat product. I eat meat everyday, and as some have said, it's best if you prepare it yourself. Even if you season the crap out of it, there's no way that a little frozen pre-made hamburger could beat the taste of a handmade one cooked on the grill. :3
