Tnanks for the dialog on a my basic meat intake. To be a bit more
accurate, the daily average of beef/pork/chicken has been
more like 1.2 lbs each -- just some days one or more may be 1.5.

In any case it would just adjust figs down 20%.

It is something to think about -- like subing fish for one or the
meat items (same amount) altering.

I have to say I'm skeptical of these charts people pointed
me to. I'm also skeptical of the health problem of the fats.
I would find it difficult to maintain/extend a natural bodybuilder
physique with less meat intake, and the fat in the beef gives me energy
that I feel I need for good workouts.

 The lean steak noted (in Thrift's diet as well as my post on Laura's lean
 beef) indicated a fat content of about 4-4.5 grams of fat per 4-ounces of
 uncooked lean cuts of steak (that's 1-1.25 gram fat per oz. If Thrift ate
 1.5 lbs. (24 oz.) per day of that steak he'd get 24-36 grams of fat from
 that.

 To say that Thrift's diet contains a deadly amount of sat. fat and
 cholesterol does not sound accurate to me.

 Eating so much saturated fat is a slow suicide.
 In my humble opinion.
