    Too much unfortunately, but not excessively. I rarely eat pork though, especially since I limit my pizza consumption to about one time a month. I eat meat maybe once or twice a week at the most, but I gotta trim that to once a month.
    What do you use do you replace the meat?

    I'm trying to cut it from my diet.

    I eat meat every single day but not red meat. I eat mostly chicken and fish and have red meat once a week if that.

    I don’t see how giving up meat is healthy especially when you exercise a lot because you need protein and I think it’s best to have a natural source for it.

    So my order of meats is as such:

    Chicken
    Turkey
    Fish
    Beef

    Before someone says “fish ain’t meat” that ain’t true…the catholic church was pivotal in reclassifying fish as something else so that they could still eat it in times where they had to give up meat. It was a finesse.

    I agree but the price of meat out here skyrocked so I was thinking about getting used to eat less.

    I usually stick to chicken and fish but I'll have red meat about once every couple of weeks. I try to stay away from too much red meat and pork for health reasons. There's a lot of good meat alternatives out there but you have to sift through the bad stuff to find the good lol
    I had a meatless burger on a gluten-free bun in Connecticut…it was like biting into a stack of cardboard. I was in the restaurant likeL

    I went gluten-free when it was the big craze. I lasted less than 2 weeks.
    Eating gluten free anything is like eating sandpaper. No thank you!

    Turkey for almost everything including burgers, spaghetti or pasta dishes, tacos etc. There's also turkey for things like hamhocks and such. I have two huge pork chops in the freezer that I got for free that I haven't touched lol.

    I'll say something rather controversial... I actually enjoy those Morning Star veggie burgers (and have some in my freezer right now). LOL! They don't try to taste like a burger but I can eat them with some onion, ketchup, and pickle and they do taste good. It is a healthy option when you are trying to cut back on red meats.

    Around here it seems to be LOL

    Everyone in my family calls them stank burgers because they insist they smell like dog food. When they used to sell them at BK and I would order one, the workers would get pissed at me lol

    I use a cast iron skillet and sear each side for a couple of minutes, then throw it in the oven until for 5 more minutes. It usually comes out pretty good
    That sounds pretty good. I only know how to make a good steak on the grill. I need to learn how to make one on a skillet.

    Which cut do you usually get? I always get the ribeye and as long as you don’t overcook it, it’s good.

    I season it with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic and onion. Ive never added rosemary or thyme like the recipes call for.

    I get in this order Filet Mignon, Tri Tip, Ribeye, New York Strip. I don’t like fat. I usually use salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, then put it on the grill.

    Good idea. I try hard not to eat pork as much, but you do know pork is in so much stuff. It is ridiculous how much stuff pork is in that is not even related to meat.

    I know one thing... many of these vegans look funny AF to me. I refuse to be one of these folks who 100 percent doesn't eat meat. I love eating chicken, fish and beef. I eat turkey when I have that opportunity. I definitely try to make sure I intake an appropriate amount of protein.

    Yeah to each their own but outside of having to do it for my health I would never be vegan. There is nothing like some good ol meat.
