    I think a lot of us have been eating less in general due to how expensive food is right now, and that includes meat so that’s a win I guess?

    Semi joking aside that’s a very reasonable approach to this problem. For some reason people like my parents “need” beef or some kind of meat with every meal, which is expensive and caused my mom to get gout. Yet her diet stays the same. There’s very little middle ground with people on this topic, so it’s refreshing to see someone suggesting we just eat less of it.

      I need lean protein and meat is the best source. I mostly eat chicken but beef is number 2 behind that. I’ll eat pork but don’t really care for it. Unfortunately I don’t like fish aside from canned tuna. So options are limited. I’ve tried finding vegetarian meals but most of what I found has poor macros compared to meat and requires a lot more prep time. I don’t really care where my nutrition comes from as long as it tastes okay. If they made a human version of dog food that met my macro requirements I’d just carry a bag of that around everywhere.
