    Daily. Often in the form of bacon and/or beef.

    Delicious.

    Basically every day XD You hand me a salad and the first thought is "where's the meat?" or, "Whats for dinner?" XD

    Vegetarian. (Not the "you're a horrible person if you eat meat" kind, don't worry.)

    I cut meat out of my diet when I went to university this year, for a few reasons. For one, I find it easier for me to stay healthier without meat. I know you can have healthy diets with meat, but for me I think it's better to cut out meat and put some extra veggies on my salad and to take a vitamin supplement each day. Also, for a long time eating meat has left me with a bit of a guilty feeling that I've ignored, and switching to a vegetarian diet has effectively reduced that. Not to mention it's better for the environment (you can say it's not all you want, but if you look at the long term effects, I do believe that it definitely is much better for the environment).

    Also, instead of gaining the normal "freshmen 15" or whatever, I've actually lost a few pounds since I started. :3

    Sorry, major carnivore here. There are some days where I will go without meat, but I usually have meat twice a day. It's not always the same stuff though, I'll branch out between chicken, pork, beef, fish.

    @adamboy7 All I can hear is John Pinette, "Salad's not food. Salad comes before the food." But I love a good salad every now and then, especially if it's the chicken and walnut salad I usually do. I've done a steak salad before.

    All day, everyday. Sorry cute animals. :c

    I tried being a vegetarian once. I survived on poppadoms for a couple of days then gave up.

    I eat meat about once a day, one because of the lunches at school, two because we usually have some dish with meat at dinner.
    If it's considered a meat, I eat fish most often. If not, I eat chicken most often. I rarely eat hamburger meat, it's repulsive to me for some reason.

    ANYWAY YOU WANT IT, THAT'S THE WAY YOU NEED IT!
    *cough* Sorry 'bout that...

    Rarely is there a day when I don't eat meat. There are periods though when I don't feel hungry at all and just chug protein shakes (healthy, I know...)
    I can't really ever become a vegetarian, I'm allergic to most of the alternative protein sources (nuts, peas, beans, soy to some extent), plus I really really like meat. And chicken. And fish...
    Darn it, I just had dinner and now I'm hungry again ;.;

    My diet consists of basically Eggo waffles and pasta these days, so not much meat for me. :v So healthy I know. But really, I have chicken rather often. Probably 2-3 times a week, in various forms. I've never really liked the taste of most meats (steak, for example, has always disgusted me), then again I've not experimented much.

    I don't take supplements or pay attention to protein intake either. I would like to begin, though--one of my post-High School resolutions is to establish a more healthy diet, and strip away some of the bad habits I've accumulated.

    Every. Damn. Day.

    I love chicken, beef, steak, pork, ham, bacon, lamb, etc.

    I can't think of any Asians that don't eat meat daily, especially not Filipino's. Its like, part of every meal we cook (and don't cook). I don't think I could ever go vegetarian, and forget vegan. Meat's just too tasty to give up ;.;

    But I have tried some of those faux-meat things, from Morningstar Farms, and honestly, they taste just like the real thing. I love them. If I ever did have to give up on real meat, I'd stock up on that stuff.

    I'm the opposite. I still eat chicken quite often, but I usually find it pretty boring. I am an avid lover of steak; as rare as possible for me. c:

    Chicken can be boring if you have it too much, but there are so many different ways to prepare it & what to put on it that I don't tire of it. I suppose most meats are the same way, but chicken naturally has a rather bland taste, which I like--then I can dress it up with whatever flavors/combinations I like.

    Steak (and some other meats) have always just had this metallic-y taste to me, it's very unpleasant. If anyone has any fun recipes/tips though, PM box dat yo~

    Uhh...if your steak tastes metallic-y, whoever cooked it must have done a derp job. I prefer mine medium-rare.

    Then again, I usually dunk my steaks in a buttload of barbecue sauce. This is the best BBQ sauce on Earth.

    I dislike eating most meat - especially really big blocks of them or blocks of them. I prefer ground meat or no meat and I do not eat many meat. I just really, really have a tongue for vegetables. I could probably go vegetarian without complaints.

    I will try any type of food at least once. And I love salad and vegetables and rice and all sorts of stuff. But meat is definitely my favorite. And its usually more than twice a day. I do feel like I balance it out with other food types though.

    I love my red meats. I eat meats one a day. I try to eat more grilled chickens and fish when I can, but the fried, oh the fried food. How you taste so good. I enjoy salads just everybody else don't get me wrong, I always make sure I have a salad and some more veggies to go with my meats when I eat.

    I eat meat nearly everyday. There might be a day every now and then when I don't, so I pick 5-6 times a week.

    Pretty much every day, but not a lot. On most days the only meat I will eat will be the turkey in my sandwich. On some days I have eggs in the morning (We get our eggs from our own chickens and they are fertilized, so I consider them meat), then my sandwich for lunch, and then a little bit of meat for dinner, never a lot.

    I love meat but my parents basically think it's the devil and are health nuts.

    I'm fairly carnivorous and find myself eating more meat than realized.
    Grilled meat and Lunch meats just always seem to find their way to my stomach.
