Unless you are confident in doing your own research you should talk to a doctor and/or nutritionist.

Red meat is bad, especially a lot of it.

see this is good info. I bet I am not even close to the max on the recommendations. American Dietetic Association (ADA): at least 95 - 171 grams/day.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): 75 - 262 grams/day (10-35% of daily caloric intake).
though calorie wise I am higher.
I wil lie taling to my nutritionist again in September last time I talked to her 4 years ago she kept wanting me to try wild rice and such.
bu then I was eating popcorn once a week. Now no way can I ever eat cabs in any real amounts. but I always got the feeling she was a bit lost because of how wacky my body was. I just saw my doc 2 weeks ago all tests pretty much normal. my BUN level was high but I was trying a lot of egg whites then.
