I am 51. When I was 43 and began low carbing I was 75 pounds heavier than I
am now.
At the age of 24, I weighed 125 pounds and I wore a size 14. Today I weigh
135 ( fluctuating up to 140) and I wear a size 10. So, I weigh more but I
take up less space ;) I do weight train.
I rotate my meats - otherwise since beef is my favorite I would eat more
beef. I know this will sound very mechanistic, but it is easy for me. I
eat beef, chicken, eggs, pork, tuna, turkey in that general order. If I eat
beef, it is usually a chuck roast cut into 4 servings - so I eat 4 servings
of beef. Next is chicken, which is usually a family pack of wings or thighs
for about 4 meals also. I eat two meals of eggs. They are not my favorite.
Next is 3-4 meals of pork. Two meals of tuna due to mercury. And, 2-3
meals of turkey. I eat all fat and skin. Then, I repeat the list over
again.
Serving sizes? Beef is usually around 8 ounces each. Chicken wings around
9 ounces including bones. Eggs will be 3-4 depending on hunger. I will eat
1-2 pork chops per serving depending upon their size and my perceived
hunger. A can of tuna is a serving. One or two turkey wings is a serving
for me.
I do eat a lot of vegetables and a wide variety. I try to eat a pound or
more of vegetables a day. I eat fruit in more moderation because I limit my
carbs to around 70 per day. I do eat nuts regularly - one or two ounces at
a time. Not every day. And, I eat some dairy. Sometimes I will eat full
fat yogurt or a little cheese, but I will go days or weeks without dairy. I
intend to experiment soon by going dairy free for 2-3 months just to see if
I feel any differently.
Hope this helps and is not seen as a bunch of minutiae about one person :)

Paula,
Interesting. How old are you? How often do you eat red meat (and how much
in a typical meal) as opposed to poultry or fish?
