I eat meat several times a week. Sometimes it's every day and sometimes not. I do eat steak at least once a week. We grill steaks out at least once a week.
Food I cook for myself, or nice restaurant food, or bought in a deli, is almost always vegetarian. Once in a blue moon I will do meat but when I do it is top-drawer bone-in ribeye, or slow-cooked pulled pork, or thick-cut bacon in pasta carbonara or with a mess of greens. Maybe a few times per year; certainly on average less than once a month.
I buy meat at a local butcher who sells a lot of locally/sustainably raised beef, pork, chicken and also goat or mutton from local free-range type farms. Costs more but I feel better about it, plus it tastes so much better! I was a farm kid for much of my growing up so supermarket meat, especially chicken, just tastes pallid and meh to me. Growing up we raised a lot of what we ate and it was all free-range and grass fed.
However I work on the move (construction) and sometimes will buy whatever is fast and easy for fuel when I must. eat. now. - Subway ham or chicken sandwich, McDonalds breakfast sandwich, Halo burger (a local chain.) Maybe once a week.
I choose "everyday for one meal" because there is usually one meat related protein. It's usually either fish or chicken. Red meat is almost non-existant in our diet now.
2x a day. Usually lunch and dinner. Breakfast is usually oats or eggs. I try to limit red meat so it's usually chicken and salmon, occasionally turkey.
I would like to become a flexitarian and eat meat only a few times a week or even a few times a month but I crave it a lot.
Never unless you count seafood as meat. I just recently went back to eating seafood after 2+ years of not eating it. After we moved to the beach, I couldn't help myself, smelled way to good not to eat.
The hubby & his grandchild who lives with us think that if it is meal time, there should be meat. I could very easily be a vegetarian, but now I need to go & look-up what is a fruititarian & breatharian.
I voted for "several times a week". I never eat meat for breakfast and very rarely for lunch (usually only if I bring dinner leftovers, which isn't terribly often)...dinners at home do frequently include meat of some kind, including seafood, but not always and very rarely in "slab/centerpiece" form.
I was a vegetarian for years and still prefer a lot of meatless dishes over their meaty counterparts, but I also do love a good steak.
