How often do you eat meat?

[SonicKoala]

Okay, I'm sorry, but are you absolutely positive you need that much? "Bulking Up" and "eating as if you were a professional bodybuilder" are two completely different things. Even if you're an intense athlete, the most protein you'd really need (that your body would actually be able to use) would be about 2.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. So, if you weigh 300 pounds, then okay, my bad. Otherwise, you are totally overdoing it, and your body is more likely than not going to end up converting that excess protein into fat.

To be honest with you, no, I'm not positive. It's what I was told by a health trainer that calculated it for me. To be honest with you I haven't even been approaching 300g a day, most times I'm getting 150g a day, maybe 200g on a good/training day.

And no, I'm certainly not an intense athlete! I used to be in not-bad shape around 4 years ago, but then I had a bout of mental illness and dropped weight drastically. I'm now around 168lbs and 6'2", quite an increase over what I was. My target weight is around 190lbs for now.

I certainly wouldn't claim to be any sort of health professional, but given your body weight, I would rethink how much protein you actually need. Perhaps you should consider doing a bit of research on the subject (Google is your friend here) - purely based on what I've read, there's a fairly good chance a huge portion of that protein is going to waste (ie. not being used by your body). Furthermore, you could end up saving yourself quite a bit of money in the process. Oh, and I probably don't need to mention this, but watch out for supplement websites trying to convince you that you need copious amounts of protein per day - it's in their best interest to exaggerate the truth.

Just some food for thought. Best of luck with your training.

You can eat meat in skyrim, can't you? I'm pretty sure you can actually kill and cook your own game there .

Everyday. Just a small slice on my rye-bread for lunch and then something nica for dinner =)

 

[Spacelord]

Almost daily, either that or fish. I try my hardest to have most foodgroups represented at dinner - not always easy for a student!

 

[One of Many]

I tend to eat meat twice a day, three times if I get a good breakfast.

 

[Whispering Cynic]

It sneaks up on me in one form or other practically every day. So yeah, every day. Meat's awesome that way.

 

[Dogstile]

I erm, just got finished eating meat. That's my first meal of the day. My other meals will usually have meat in them too.

 

[ImmortalDrifter]

Everyday. To be blunt.

 

[Sunrider]

Not every day, but most days at least.

 

[Jacob Haggarty]

Most, if not everyday, at least ONE of my meals has some sort of meat with it. I usually have some in my sandwhich for lunch as well, or otherwise buy a burger or something.

 

[Zaverexus]

With lunch and dinner, and often breakfast if you count eggs.

 

[Daverson]

Every. Single. Day.

For me, a meal without meat is no meal at all! D=

 

[Fetzenfisch]

i was a vegetarian for 5 years but last christmas i started again and am back to 3 times a day. breakfast-lunch-dinner

 

[A Tasty Burger]

Every day at lunch and supper.

I would think us americans would eat the most meat

AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

Thats child abuse, in my opinion.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

He didn't get fat on the meat, he got fat on the fries and huge cokes and other sugary drinks and sauces, most McDonald burgers are paper-thin actually and not all of them is actually meat anyways, a proper burger is supposed to be fat and pink in the center with minimal toppings so you can actually taste the meat, to treat that garbage as actual meat is insulting to the poor cows that died for our juicy burgers.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

Born and live in Argentina, so eating meat is basically the definition of Argentina. I eat meat most days, some times twice a day.

 

[Craorach]

I eat meat at pretty much every meal.

My breakfast is normally bacon sandwiches or a ham and cheese croissant from a local cafe.
My lunch usually involves some kind of sandwich meat. Sliced ham, turkey or chicken.
I don't think I've ever eaten a main meal that didn't involve some kind of meat.

Try bulk powder, it's economical.
