Some experts recommend no more than 500g of red meat per week…do you agree with this and how much meat you yourself consume each week?
They say red meat increases cancer.
Can someone tell me how much is 500g? Like how many chops, steaks etc?
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
I'm not a fan of red meat. Actually the only way I can eat it if its ground meat. That too in very little amount.
500 gm is almost half a kg. And I think normal meat eaters i.e. people who have a balanced diet eat just about that much in a week.
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
2.5 boties 
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
hardly once a week
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
2-3 times a week :)
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
oh no 
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
None
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
About 2 pounds almost every 10 days. It could get to 10 pounds a week if only I could have a Mr. Burger as much as I'd like it.
Why do you ask though?
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
I’m thinking of reducing my meat intake…I eat meat daily twice a day. :hinna:
I don’t find daal sabzi tasty at all.
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
I do not like red meat at all. So i hardly eat red meat..may be like once a month. Wo bhi if i am in resturant or something to eat beef or something like that.
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
I love beef.
:( oh I feel so guilty. i think I'm addicted to red meat.
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
500 gm is almost half a kg.
500g is exactly half a kg - 1kg equals 1000grams!
Anyway I eat about once a week, if that, mushkil se. Not a big fan of red meat at all - chicken is much much better, and healthier for you too (compared to red meat!)
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
^
Yes my bad. It IS half a kg. I meant to say almost over 1 pound and that makes half a kg. =)
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
As long as you’re not letting all the beef intake on to you and burning it all off in due course, I think you’d do alright. But, if you want me to discourage you with valid reasons as to why you need to avoid it, I could do that too. Just don’t scream at me for providing you with the guilt trip of epic proportions.
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
Chicken would be better if it wasn’t injected/fed with chemically enhanced steroids either. 
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
I like beef, mutton not so much. 1-2 times a week max.
Re: How much red meat do you eat per week?
Catskin, are you sure you eat beef twice a day everyday or is that just a random estimate? I'm sure its not 7 days a week, because if it is then yes you are eating more than 500g a week and you need to cut down. I probably eat red meat twice a week and that too is always lamb, never beef. Also if we look at it from a desi point of view then couple of 'botis' are certainly less in weight than say a piece of steak.
Try varying your diet, it does not have to be with daal or veg. There are so many other things.
