Let it go with the canned tuna brother. Tuna is full of mercury and once you get mercury poisoning it's not gonna be a fun month for you.

I doubt that red meat is gonna cause you any health issues as long as you keep the fat on the low. However, I would advise you to have some diversity in your diet and get as much meat as you can get vegetables into your died to not fuck up your system.

I don't trust vegan stuff and I refuse to eat it out of spite.

Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, this is not medical advice.

The evidence pointing to red meat being carcinogenic isn’t concrete; oftentimes the population being researched is already at-risk groups who are not fit nor eat a healthy, balanced, organic diet. This is if we’re talking about steaks, ground beef - unprocessed meat; processed meat (deli) definitely seems to be much more dangerous (because of added carcinogenic chemicals), and a lot of times processed and unprocessed red meat are bunched up together when they say that red meat causes (gastrointestinal) cancer.

Red meat (cow, deer, bison, etc) is probably one of the most nutrient-rich foods you can eat, but you can still avoid it and thrive, if you want to stay on the safe side: fish, poultry, rabbit meat, etc.

It could be argued that humans have eaten red meat for tens of thousands of years just fine, but then we didn’t know about cancer; people could’ve been developing GI cancer and the cause of their deaths could’ve been misdiagnosed.

Personally, I eat red meat a lot (every other day at least). I too get worried, and what I can suggest you do is get regular colonoscopies and blood screenings.

Literally anything can cause cancer, even breathing air. You can never fully prevent it.

Even if red meat caused cancer down the line, I still would keep eating it. I cba getting protein from only fish & chicken or God forbid...vegan sources.

You'll be fine.

I personally would not bother eating red meat. It cost more than chicken, and its higher in fat. So what is the point?

I guess you're prob asking on the wrong forum. I'd be asking on a forum that is 100% focused on nutrition for athletes. I'd be interested in hearing what they eat - but my guess is that its protein about 4 times a day. something like that.

I’m just curious as to how much this costs per week $$$. Is this intended for a lean bulk or just maintenance?

As with a lot of things, some times there is not a definitive answer

This meta analysis of 25 studies says the magnitude of the data is not sufficient to determine risk

This meta analysis of 148 studies says there is an association of more cancer risk

paywall removed version of the above ^ article

This meta analysis of 36 randomized-control trials says switching from red meat to plant diets results in favorable blood fat changes but not switching from red meat to other meats. Randomized control trials are probably more likely to include general population versus people that got studied in a hospital etc.

from my research i think meat from ruminants, like beef and lamb is the best meat.

Personally i eat beef or lamb EVERY day, also a bunch of eggs like around 10 EVERYDAY. Fish a few times a week, lots of fruits, some veggies but not that much, raw honey and some nuts like almonds/walnuts but not a big quantity. Use several types of seasonings for different meals for their antioxidant properties.

I meet all vitamin/mineral daily requirements just from whole foods, no oils at all, nothing processed except boiling my eggs and dry frying my steaks, if that counts as processing.

I like to believe i have a very healthy diet.

I grew up eating meat at every meal. Steak a few times per week, pork chops, chicken. A meal wasn't a meal unless it had some meat with it. I also ate tons of pizza and cheese/dairy, my favorite foods. I was so constipated all of the time in High School. Sometimes it would feel like tearing. Hemorrhoids, etc. Very similar bathroom issues to my father. I'd shit like once or twice a week, sometimes not even good ones. I got into martial arts and became vegetarian for 12 years and constipation was a thing of the past. I still ate lots of pizza, extra cheese, dairy. Now I take 3-4 (or more) shits a day, which can get inconvenient. My dad still suffers many of the problems but my mom helps him with smoothies and stuff. I haven't been constipated in years. Also, every time I eat a meal, the old meal is ready to come out. I shit after every meal basically. Lots of women who get to the sleeping over and breakfast stage complain that I am so regular compared to them. My most recent FWB said I was just like her vegetarian room mate, who also enjoys shitting like clockwork. Meanwhile she can't hardly shit and celebrates a shit as a victory. YMMV because I have meat friends who pound the toilet too.

edit: forgot to add that I recently added canned sardines in water, canned cod liver, and canned oysters into my diet. Been on that for like a year and a half and it helps me keep a nice layer of fat over my muscles which I believe is my optimal energy state (not shredded). no difference in regularity. I'm 6'3" 220.
