  • Can I eat too much red meat?

    I've fallen in love with having a slice of home-made meatloaf (will include recipe below) on an oopsie roll with a schmear of mayo and a shot of Frank's hot sauce. I've been having that for lunch every day for the last week, along with a small spinach salad (1 cup of spinach 3 sliced mushrooms, my home-made ranch dressing and some parmesan cheese) or on the oopsie roll with some spinach leaves instead of lettuce. Its also great just as a snack in the evening. But I'm wondering if that's putting too much red meat into my diet? Or does it really matter?

    my meatloaf:

    3 pounds of hamburger
    1 small red or yellow onion - chopped fine
    1 small jalapeno pepper chopped fine
    1 egg
    1 cup crushed pork rinds
    3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
    1/2 tbsp onion powder
    2 "splashes" liquid hickory smoke
    1/2 tsp ground black pepper
    1 tsp hot mustard powder
    1 tsp paprika
    1 tsp cayanne pepper
    1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
    1/8 cup parmesan cheese

    Mix all together, put in a loaf pan, bake at 350 for an hour an 15 min.

    If I can keep having this as one meal, once a day, with an occasional snack, I've got it made - not only does it taste delicious but I find it so filling, and I don't get tired of it. So am I hurting myself by making this a "staple" of my WOE, or is it all good?

    they have an article on beef, and the misconception htat it's harmful or is any way related to colon cancer.

    also a ton of articles about fats and why and how they're beneficial in your body.

      I try to keep steak and roast to just once a day otherwise they stall me. For some reason hamburger doesnt stall me.

      That meatloaf sounds delicious, i am going to have to make some.
