Is it healthy to eat red meat every day?

[freag34]

To keep my protein high at 300gms or so during cutting or bulking I find I'm eating a lot of meat. Typically I eat 8oz salmon, 8oz steak, 8oz chicken every day, plus at least a couple of protein shakes.

Is eating this much meat bad? Is eating red meat daily bad in any way? Should I have my cholesterol tested?

As long as you're eating lean meats, you shouldn't have any problems.

bump for more info. What's all the advice from dieticians, etc... saying to eat red meat only once in a while? What are they basing their "theories" on?

dieticians usually base their theories on the "average person".
Not someone who is athletic or works out a lot.
The nutrients you get from red meat are needed in greater quantities in a very active person.
Of course, there's supplements too, but I personally like real food.
