I always get chicken breast for 1.99/lb, thighs for 99c/lb, pork tenderloin at 2.49/lb, or a beef round for 2.99/lb for the slow cooker. Once in a while, I'll get a NY strip or tenderloin for a good steak dinner since those are more expensive.

I will not make it for them more then 4x a week because it's really not that healthy.

Either turkey or chicken or seafood, and then red meat maybe twice a month. No pork.

I have meat several times a day (e.g. sausage with breakfast, deli meat or leftovers for lunch, then meat with dinner).

If he is home for dinner I'll usually make a meat.

I am just not a big meat eater (or a good cook, for that matter!). I also like when I don't have to mess with any raw meat. I am pregnant and have an aversion to chicken now, which I normally love, so that has been tough. I did get a vegetarian cookbook for Christmas, so while I am not really a vegetarian, we have been eating lot of tofu/Morningstar meatless crumbles/legumes. It's been working great for me! honeybear on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514755 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 07:54:54 +0000 honeybear 514755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I voted once a month , because I buy a steak or turkey for my husband and LO/extended family and friends about that often (birds are for holidays), but I never eat meat. The expense is not my chief reason, but it's a nice bonus (one uncooked NY strip costs me nearly $20!!). I've been a partial vegetarian for most of my life, partly because I never really liked meat but also because I am very concerned with how animals are treated (this was all way before "Food, Inc." and the like). I do eat fish, but I'm really picky about where it comes from. I was kind of surprised on a number of levels to see the rise of paleo/primal diets a few years back! :) MaisyMay on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514696 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 05:00:25 +0000 MaisyMay 514696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah. We're carnivores. To keep the cost down, we try to shop sales and go to costco.

Meat is usually my least favorite part of the meal. I don't enjoy preparing it as much as I do the sides. I like the nights when I don't have to mess with it. sera_87 on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514632 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 00:52:23 +0000 sera_87 514632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ pretty much. we're not above having "cheap" meat though like ground turkey or pork. As long as it's meat!

I want to eat even less beef/pork/chicken than we do now; the older I get, the less I care for meat. I'm also totally disgusted by factory farming and won't eat animals treated that way just to save a buck; I'd rather buy better (humanly raised and slaughtered) quality and less quantity. At least with good quality meat; you need to eat less of it to get your nutrients and to feel full; which helps budget-wise as well. I would much rather eat a meal of veggies than a meat-based dinner generally. fussygal on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514557 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 23:14:53 +0000 fussygal 514557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We eat meat every night at home, with the exception of one dinner per night. My husband is a huge "meat and potatoes" guy and would freak out if we didnt! Personally, if it wasn't for him I would only eat it 2-3 times per week. sooz on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514554 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 23:09:34 +0000 sooz 514554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, we probably go meatless with tofu or lentils/beans/veggies 2-3 times per week. ladyfingers on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514545 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 23:00:41 +0000 ladyfingers 514545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lately, yes. With GD I need to have protein for every meal and meat is just the easiest way to do that ( I don't like tofu, etc). Occasionally we'll have something like lasagna and I'll have a protein shake with it to stabilize the carbs :) BeachMama on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514544 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:58:55 +0000 BeachMama 514544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We do a few meatless days every week. mrsmate on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514539 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:56:35 +0000 mrsmate 514539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Pen: not only is it cheap, I think it's the tastiest cut! More flavorful than chicken breast. I love the skin, too. regberadaisy on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514522 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:42:31 +0000 regberadaisy 514522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No but we always have some kind of protein. So if not meat then fish, shrimp etc. Baby Boy Mom on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514520 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:39:40 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 514520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't really cook with meat at all, except for chicken soup once in a while. So we only eat it when we go out- I voted once a month. We do eat fish at least once a week though. lemondrop on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514498 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:12:45 +0000 lemondrop 514498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a few meatless days a week- Meatless Mondays evolved into a more frequent occurrence. o0olibelulao0o on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514496 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:12:03 +0000 o0olibelulao0o 514496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm a big fan of leftovers, so I may only cook a meal with meat once then have the leftovers for lunch and/or dinner the next day (or two). I really don't eat much meat though, and when I do it's usually mixed into something like ground turkey with pasta or chili. I try to eat more veggies and leafy greens. Mrs. Pen on "do you eat meat with every dinner?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-meat-with-every-dinner#post-514494 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:11:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 514494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @keiki_mama: Similar. We try to buy organic grass-fed beef and free-range chickens. They are SO expensive, that's why we can only afford it for a few meals. When we didn't eat organic/free-range meat, it was much cheaper and we could have afforded it... but now knowing what I know - I just cannot revert without feeling an immense sense of guilt! Not just regarding animal humanity, but what we're putting in our body.
