We've cut back on our meat consumption, for health and money! We love meat, and used to eat it at least 6 days a week, in one form or another. We now eat it probably half as much, depending on the week.
-
Everyday. Typically twice a day- lunch & dinner.
-
Almost everyday. We don't eat as much red meat anymore.
-
I was a vegetarian for 5 years and every now and then I consider returning
It was such a habit to not cook with meat that it was difficult for me when I met my husband to figure out how to incorporate it back in to the menu. Even still, I typically only eat poultry. If I make something that calls for red meat, I usually opt out myself because I just never acquired a taste for it after my veg years. I still prefer to cook meatless and order meatless out often but my husband would be super sad to never have it. I maybe have it 4-6 times a week. It would be less if my husband didn't mind.
-
I have fish or seafood 1-2 times a month. Regular meat really grosses me out so I won't cook or eat it. Except like chicken nuggets or something for the kids.
@ldh112: You are better to your DH than I am. If he wants meat he has to buy and cook it! He usually buys lunch so gets it then.
-
Very rarely! Much healthier and more affordable not to, and I think it makes me more creative (vegan mac and cheese? How can I make a pizza crust out of cauliflower, how many bean varieties can go in one chili, etc.)
-
Almost every day - we're total carnivores over here.
-
Vegetarian! I do eat seafood but maybe like twice a month?
-
Typically once a day. We do occasionally do vegetarian meals, but it's always harder to come up with something satisfying!
-
At least once a day.
-
Never. Vegetarian
whole family of vegetarians.
I've recently given up dairy as well, just about vegan these days. -
Also never. Lifer vegetarian. I'll occasionally make it for my hubby.
-
Almost every day. Red meat is probably averaging 2-3x every two weeks? On non meat days it's usually fish or shrimp...not always cheaper than meat!
-
Just about every day. I would be fine eating less, but I'm married to a man who feels a meal isn't complete without some meat protein. When I make vegetarian meals, I always reassure that I'll make more food if he's not full at the end (which he always is!)
-
We don't usually eat red meat at home (ok we do eat bacon but that's it!) But we do eat a lot of ground turkey and chicken. I want to cut down more but both DH and LO hate beans so it's hard to come up with ideas that don't include pasta (we eat so much of it!)
-
Like including poultry? Every day at least once.
-
Never. Haven't had it in 10 years.
-
Most lunches have meat.
Dinners we have fish/seafood usually 2-3x a week, and vegetarian 1-2 times a week, meat on the remaining nights. Red meat a couple times a month.
-
Pretty much daily. My son loves his protein.
-
Once or twice a week. I was a vegetarian for years but started eating some meat postpartum. I still prefer not to though. We have been trying to eat a bit more fish since it's so good for you but it's rough on the budget.
-
Never. It's been... 10 years, I'd say? I doubt I'll ever eat it again. DH does eat meat though, but mostly for lunch and when we go out.
-
A few times a week, but no red meat and rarely chicken. We mostly eat pork products like sausage and ham. I wish fish and seafood were more widely available here because we would eat a lot more of those things.
-
Three times a day. I'm on a low carb GD diet and pretty much the only thing I can eat is meat. I would like to cut down after this baby is here because it really is so bad for you in excess.
-
Never, since I was 8 years old. DH eats it once a day, either as sandwhich meat or a dinner add in.
-
At least 1x a day!
I've been wanting to do Meatless Monday but can never think of anything to cook...lol -
Um a lot? I eat all da proteinz. Lots of chicken and turkey lately
-
Meat=red meat in my definition, 3 times a week or less.
-
Every day but small portions.
-
Never! LO and I are vegetarians, DH eats vegetarian at home, probably eats meat 1-2x a week when he's out.
-
@looch: Why don't you consider chicken or turkey meat?
We each meat every day! I'm not good about getting protein from other sources.
-
Every day! Occasionally we might go a day of not eating any meat, but I'd say that's rare.
-
@Adira: in my mind, there's a distinction between mammal and bird
-
I'm vegetarian. Dh and lo rarely have red meat but prob have chicken once a day or so
-
Every day!
-
We eat a lot of chicken. I try to make meat the "accessory" and not the main dish. I love beans, but DH isn't so smitten.
-
I try to include 1 vegetarian meal a week and to not eat meat at lunch if we're having it for dinner. But DH will make himself bacon pretty much anytime I make anything vegetarian - he doesn't feel like it's a meal if there's no meat.
-
@looch: Thanks for the clarification.
-
If by meat you mean mammal meat then never. I eat poultry or seafood about 5-6 days per week. I'm actually considering giving up poultry all together though.
-
Every day, lunch and dinner pretty much always, breakfast some days. I'm including any animal protein though, chicken/turkey/fish/etc.
-
Constantly. Bones is my daughters favorite food. I limit processed meat, grain fed meat and pork. I focus more on fish, seafood, lamb, grass fed beef, & chicken.
