I'm a bit late to the party,
*@elisenbrunnen*, but I suggest that
maybe the people eating meat every day aren't eating more than 4oz of it each time.
For three people I would use 170g and not bother with lentils except to thicken. So that gives me one of your meat-free days to have a different meat meal and I'm still eating less than you do 
Merryhouse - lol
. My menu this week;
sunday - chicken pie, made with 4 x chicken thighs to seve 4. Bulked up with carrots, potatoes and mushrooms. Muffins and carrot cake.
Monday - lentil soup, made with stock using the bones from the thighs, (plus extra bones from the freezer from last time)
Tues - mackerel or Tuna fishcakes for 3, using a tin of tuna or mackerel.
Wed - working late so eggs/beans/cheese on toast.
Thurs - 8 pork sausages, between 3. I'll have 2, the dc 3 each.
Friday pasta with tomatoes/mushrooms.
Sat - prob chicken stir fry using 1 breast for 3 serves, and lots of veg/rice.
So this entire week i will have had 1 x chicken thigh, 2 sausages, 1/3 tin tuna and 1/3 chicken breast - this is a 4 x meat week; it's a 3 x meat week next week. Tell me again how you eat less meat than I do?
And again - this is not because I don't want to eat meat every single day, (although I don't) but because I can't afford meat every day. And also because it's unhealthy to eat meat every single day. I'm a single parent to 2 dc, and they can both cook healthy, balanced, tasty meals.
I reckon a lot of the posters bemoaning the cost of living increases on other threads would do well to look at cutting back on serving meat every day.
