#5 Myth about Red Meat: So if red meat is not unhealthy, I can eat as much of it as I want.

Fact: We suggest that you eat red meat in moderation. Therefore pay heed to how much you consume at one time, and how often you consume it. Figuring this out for yourself will depend entirely on your weight, height, physical condition, physical activity level, exercise intensity, and overall diet. In other words, you need to apply the same dieting considerations, as you would any other food, to red meat consumption.

Bottom-line: The thumb rule says you are allowed 90gms of red meat daily, that is an average sized burger patty. But keep in mind that this depends on the aforementioned points.

  • Red meat causes weight gain
  • Red meat causes high cholesterol
  • Red meat is completely unhealthy
  • Red meat is the only source of saturated fats
  • So if red meat is not unhealthy, I can eat as much of it as I want.
  • Red meat causes cancer
  • Red meat causes gout
  • Red meat is bad for the heart
