How much meat do you eat?

[sam_b]

With most health 'experts' now agreeing that too much meat - especially red meat - is not good for us, I am interested to know whether this has made Dibbers change their diets? I read a thread on SW meals the other day and they were so meat heavy it was amazing!

Don't get me wrong, I love a bacon butty every now and then, but we have noticed that over the last few years our meat consumption has dropped and we now appreciate it as more of a treat. We eat a lot of fish and veggie dishes.

A typical week for us might be:-

Monday Asian Salmon with noodles and veg
Tues Quorn Tacos
Weds Veggie pasta
Thursday Sole and new potatoes
Friday Thai prawn curry
Sat Asian Belly Pork
Sun Roast or chicken pie

On average, I think we have meat twice per week. Occasionally I might add some meat to a dish - like a veggie spaghetti with a couple of rashers of bacon crumbled for flavour or an omelette with a little chorizo in it.

Anyone else think that their consumption has dropped?

Once a week
Too expensive to buy more often !

I don't eat meat at all. Husband eats meat most days but not in huge quantities - we eat 95% home made stuff, and when I do meat recipes I tend to make double, but increase the veggies instead of the meat. I do also make him have meat-free days.

I eat chicken most days or fish if it's not chicken. I don't really eat much red meat at all although I do like bacon (chicken and bacon salad)
I am hoping to go to teak neighbourhood grill so will try a burger there lol

Most days; only use decent butcher meat/sausages/pies though, not the processed stuff.

We have meat most days , I can't remember the last time we had a day with no meat.

We eat a lot of chicken and I eat steak a few times a week (I buy it from Lidl excellent value) .

Don't eat much fish though.

Bar steak I get all our meat from the local butchers its rare we eat processed rubbish.

we eat a lot of chicken, red meat maybe once a week, sometimes less than that.

we eat ham or tuna most lunchtimes then we have meat for dinner maybe 5 nights per week with fish the other 2 nights but we eat chicken a lot more than red meat.

We eat meat near enough every day... Get most of my fresh meat from aldi and it's very good quality for the price. I follow slimming world plan most of the time ... Although two weeks in Florida put paid to that... Big shop today and bought loads of healthier stuff to get back into swing of things.
Typical meals for us cos I've done this weeks meal plan
Today chicken breast, jersey royals ( yum ) and salad
Tuesday homemade lasagne made with lean beef mince
Wednesday lamb steaks, potatoes and veg
Thursday roast chicken dinner
Friday beef stir fry and noodles
Saturday ... Working late will be something quick
Sunday chilli and jacket spuds and salad
Although when I do a chilli I tend to make it with quote mince just cos I think it soaks up the spices better 😀
I love my veggies and potatoes, pasta etc but I couldn't go without meat.
