Are you pretty much a "meat with every meal" person? Do you feel healthy?

Honestly, I don't eat meat very often. I have to be in the right mood for it. I do consider myself fairly healthy overall, though.

I eat meat very rarely, and I am not healthy. However, the problems I have are genetic, and eating meat would not make them better. I have weak connective tissue which is prone to injury, and I have a disorder which makes me faint a lot. Again - meat wouldn't help either of these things, so I don't think the fact I don't eat it makes a difference. My blood levels are always good.

We've cut back on eating a lot of meat, but generally enjoy it for dinner meals I think.

I used to eat meat (I gave it up about a year and a half ago) and honestly, my body is way healthier now than I was eating meat with every meal, or even just once a day.

I eat meat often, and in general I try to stay healthy. While I am certainly nowhere near PEAK fitness, I am not all around unhealthy, either I don't eat much processed meat though. It's pretty much all fresh meats and such, and I eat them with plenty of vegetables!

I eat meat probably 4 days out of 7, and I am proud to say I am very healthy!

I am 80% vegan, gluten free, and entirely dairy free. The "80%" is because I allow myself one animal product a day. I feel like I have more energy and am more alert when I eat this way. I also drop weight.

Lean meat is obviously healthier than fatty meat, but protein is essential for good health.

I usually have meat once a day. It's usually chicken or turkey with a raw spinach salad.

I don't eat meat at all--consider myself pretty healthy. I could be in better physical shape as far as exercising for general fitness/stamina, but I'm underweight.

My diet tends to change alot depending on what else is going on in my life, but I always feel healthiest when i'm eating very little meat and opting for large salads, fruit and fresh juices instead.

I eat fish 2-4 times a week, and turkey about 3 times a YEAR. Otherwise, no meat. I'm very healthy. I almost never get sick, and on the rare occasions when I do get sick, I get well quickly. [knocks on wood!]

I used to get sick more often when I ate more meat, but I'm not sure it's a cause/effect thing. I made other positive lifestyle changes at the same time I cut back on meat (more regular exercise, more avoiding potentially-harmful chemicals), so it's hard to know what made me healthier. I'm guessing "all of the above".

I eat more meat now that my boyfriend is around to cook it for me. When I was by myself I barely ate any. I don't think it correlates to my health.

I don't eat meat with every meal, but I don't avoid having it either. I'm working harder on getting myself healthy and would say I feel pretty okay aside from some pain issues in my body.

I eat meat with every meal, with absolutely no exceptions. I actually do so for health reasons, and am about as healthy as you can be.

I usually eat meat, but I don't think that I'm super unhealthy! It's hard for me to hang out with my vegan friend : )

I try to eat two servings of protein each and every day. However; I couldn't care less where this protein comes from. Three to four times I week, I will eat read meat simply because I work out and need to make sure my muscles are tended too.

Before I started working out, I hardly ate any meat. Protein of course. I was hardly ever ill. Now? I've not noticed a difference to be honest! Other than some minor sports injuries.

I feel cheated if I don't have a little meat with a meal. Although sometimes I get protein from a cheese sandwich. I'd love to use nutella but it has chocolate in it and that causes migraines.
