I love the stuff, but have cut way back for health reasons and family history. I'm curious about the folks here.

Thank you in advance.

Love it as well. What better to pair Cabs and Syrahs that beg for red meat. However, for the same general health reasons, I limit it to 1 or 2 times a month, average.

i eat it maybe once a week. I love it and I don't steer myself away from it for any specific health reasons. I just find myself eating salads for lunch and chicken, turkey and pork more often at dinner. while I rarely have ground beef, I do enjoy a grilled ribeye and a Cail Cabernet.

3-5 times a week, But small amounts.

work at a steakhouse, not realy an option

for the last few years 2maybe three times a month!

roughly once per week.

Almost never. I indulge my brother-in-law by having some of his smoked elk and venison on Thanksgiving. That's it.

2-5 times a week depending on whether I am traveling for work (and if traveling - where I am stuck, i.e. one goes to San Diego for Sea Food not the 30 ounce bone in rib-eye)

Most people eat more red meat than they think. I mean a big rare steak - maybe once a week, but are we including meatballs (when you think you are only eating pasta in your mind), beef and broccoli, won ton soup or steamed dumplings on "Chinese Night". Pizza with Sausage? Eggs and Bacon in the morning???

I'm probably red meating in some way 4 days a week at least.

3-4 times a week, minimum.

PH

Maybe once every two weeks or so, depends if Tbird and I are eating out....lol

Same here about 3 times a week, tonight: Tenderloin wrapped in bacon.

I'd guess at least three times a week. Have you every seen an unheathly looking tiger?

Probably twice a week. It's hard to beat a thick grilled filet or top sirloin.

Okay, lets define red meat

Assume you mean beef, but horse, ostrich, venision, Bison, lamb etc. are also red meats, but with less fats and colesterol

Last week I had:
beef two nights
Venison 1 night
Ostrich 1 night
Horse & bison 1 night

FLWINO:
Horse?
out of a dog food can?

Including everything but chicken and fish, I probably eat “red” meat 4-5 times a week.

Beef? Once, maybe twice a week. Usually it's lamb (we buy whole lambs twice a year), duck, bison, chicken, or seafood. Less often, but maybe once a week it's pork, veal, venison...

To answer the general question: "How often do you eat red meat?" - 50% of the time.

Now THAT's an honest answer

Not sure I'm buying into Bez, Irwin and IndyBob up there for 3 meals+ per day where it works out to red meat once a week, 3 times a month or "almost never".

Who's counting that Roast Beef sandwich at the deli for lunch when you had that healthy grilled chicken for dinner.

Not very often anymore - it's amazing how many cab's I have to drink in my cellar. Since I love red meat with wine, it's very hard for me but I think of my colon like my family: I want to be very kind to it, because I'll sure miss it when it's gone!!

My estimate is about twice a month. That is usually an 8 ounce tenderloin cooked on my grill. I will eat less than five cheeseburgers a year now.

Very, very rarely. Since I started eating meat again almost two years ago, I mostly stick to fish unless I'm being served at someone's home, in which case I eat whatever is prepared. I eat a burger once every three or four months at most.

I did recently surprise my husband with Zingerman's bacon manifesto so the temptation is around but I don't plan on indulging too often (although a blt for dinner is sounding really tempting).

Een, how long were you a vegetarian?

Did you notice any ill affects on health?

I eat red meat 1-2 times a week - usually ground beef. However, once spring/summer arrive and the snows have melted away, my comsumption increases to 2-3 times a week - as I am grilling more.

My wife and I eat more chicken, turkey, and fish than red meat by a large margin.

I will never give up my NY/ribeye steaks and Cali cab, er Syrah, er Malbec.

I make other adjustments in my diet to compensate. In the immortal words of Krusty the Clown: "Forget it! I'll just have to cut back on the Condor egg omelets...mmm...a couple of those sure would be tasty right now."

Spo, I was a vegetarian for 12 years. I was in very good health but I wasn't one of those vegetarians who subsisted on french fries.

I decided to stop because I hated that most restaurants only offered veggie plates or some ghastly crap. I also like to travel and didn't want to be one of those people who makes hosts or hostesses feel weird about my choices. I also wanted to raise my good cholesterol and since eating fish it has gone up to protective range. My ldl is still great. My blood levels as a vegetarian were always in ideal range except for hdl.

I was never the type of vegetarian who looked down on others for their choices (except for people who ordered their steaks well done!) I started in my 20s and it just kind of stuck with me and then I got worried about how my body would react to meat. The first couple of times I ate meat, my body was not happy at all so I transitioned very slowly. The oddest thing is that I am now allergic to salmon but could eat it before. That sucks as I like the taste.

I have not eaten chicken since I started eating meat. I never really liked it before, so why start now? Fish, especially sushi, is my favorite. I do love a good medium rare steak or burger once in a while.
