How often do you eat meat?

[AbsentmindedWoman]

I significantly reduced my meat consumption a couple of years ago, now having it about once a month. Planning to increase it again though, to once or twice a week, to boost heme iron.

How often do you eat meat? Have you ever reduced/ increased, and did you feel any different?

Usually 6 days a week - one day is deliberately fish/vegetarian. I have beef and lamb farmers in my family so not only do I feel I should eat meat, I sometimes receive cuts from them. Only ever buy my own from the butcher.

Two meals a day, every day. Sometimes three times a day.

I love meat. I see no convincing argument to stop eating it 🤷‍♀️

Never. Last time was about 20 years ago. Couldn't and wouldn't go back to it.

A couple of times a month, if that.

Probably have meat free once or twice a month.

Most days in some form. It's either actual meat or fish or bone broth or bit of salami in a salad.
But not in all meals. Breakfasts are veggie, lunches often too, dinners alternate depending on lazyness and ehat I fancy. I really like veg so cooking without meat few times a week is no punishment

Never, I haven't touched meat for 36 years.

Not since I was 13

Never (since infancy at least). No animal products for over a decade. Had bloods done 2x in last year and both times everything was fine.

I've been gradually reducing our meat consumption and moving to less environmentally damaging meats.

We now have two suppers a week vegetarian plus at least one fish. I don't buy beef any more, buying pork instead, and buy chicken thighs rather than breast.

I wfh now and all my lunches are meat free although I do eat cheese.

6 days a week

Maybe three times a week and only ever at dinner.

Most days

Probably 3 or 4 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less

I used to eat a hell of a lot of meat, definitely at least one meal every day if not more. Now we eat a meat-free dinner 3 times a week, and a fish meal one meal a week; and then obviously meat for the remaining days. I actually really enjoy eating this way now, and it helps keep food costs down as well as our meat free meals work out really cheap. Lentil Dahl curry is a current favourite!

Every day. Usually for lunch and dinner.

Every day, I'm an excellent cook and make delicious vegetarian food. I just really, really like eating flesh. I do buy local, small breed, organic and sustainably fished fish and seafood from proper butchers and fishmongers though.

It's a natural and healthy food. Why wouldn't I eat it if it's humanely farmed/caught.

Might be worth checking your B12 as well OP. I was vegetarian (with a year of vegan) for 4 years and my health dipped dramatically. Really fatigued, mouth ulcers, spots. B12 injections and eating meat again made me feel so much better.

Ironically I went veggie/vegan for my health!

Never. We eat fish / seafood probably twice a week.

I eat meat or fish most days

Whenever it suits, so quite often. No plans to alter that.

Sorry, meant to say I was a teenaged vegetarian but ate meat when I moved out of the family home and found that it was quite difficult and expensive to keep up with my ideals on a v low budget and piss poor cooking skills

Never. It’s been at least five years now.

Twice a week. 2 meat (one chicken and one red meat), two fish/seafood and three veggie meals
