What is the importance of meat in daily diet?

Thanks

None. I am a dietary vegan and put on 20 lbs of lean muscle in less than my first 6 months of training. Anyone who says a person cannot build muscle mass without consuming animal protien is misinformed.

As I said before I am a dietary vegan for health reasons not ethical reasons. I want to make it clear that I am not trying to "convert" anyone to vegetarianism/veganism. Those people annoy the hell out of me too. Just like those people trying to promote the Zone Diet online. LOL
There are plenty of nutrients in meat. However, a person can get plenty of protien and iron from non-animal sources. I don't see the need to consume "bad" fat and cholesterol. I am tired of the misinformation about vegetarian and vegan diets in the athletic culture. Even I can admit that meats are tasty. I used to love chicken, skinless of course. I remember when Buffalo Chicken Pizza first came out, it was Da Bomb. LOL I was never big on red meat. Women shouldn't be. I was watching the news on t.v. the other night and consuming a certain amount of servings of red meat can increase a womens chances of developing breast cancer.

You don't have to eat meat to gain muscle or be healthy. But it is a great source of protein, iron, lots of things you need in your body. But their are many other ways to get that into your body.

It's nuts what you have to give up to actually eat healthy, (btw you can still eat nuts) most of the stuff we are given as food isn't really good to eat or not at least in the quantity we get it.

Processed foods are the worst.

Speaking of meat... I smoked a tri tip roast last Saturday! A basic dry rub with brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and seasoned salt. Cooked low and slow for about four hours. Seasoned apple wood for smoke flavor! YUMMY. That beef was a treat! Like cow candy!

Damn you're making me hungry.
