Can you have meat in your diet when eating "clean"? What are the best things to eat when eating clean while avoiding vitamin deficiency?

I exercise and all of that jazz but sadly my love for meat and sweets is strong. No, I do not have any intentions of going vegetarian. I'm 127 pounds right now my weight normally fluctuates between 124-130 pounds, but I want to loose at least 10-15 pounds 20-25 if I'm lucky. Is snacking through out the day on healthy foods the way to go, or 3 full meals of healthy foods? How much meat should I have if I can have it while eating clean? When it comes to diet I honestly don't even know where to start sadly. v. v

Yes can have meat.

No you can't.

I'm 5'1" (154.9 cm) so I'm on the heavier side of where I should be. 133 lbs. is where I hit over weight. .-.

You should have 5 small meals throughout the day, and choose lean meats when eating meat, and meat for breakfast is a very smart idea, the protein in it can help kick start it metabolism which will help loose weight. Other then that I would work out along with eating healthy, just moderate the sweets and choose lean meats.

Definitely. In fact Id say it's -easier- to eat clean with meat in your diet though it's possible as a vegetarian. More challenging though.

Got any food tips? o:

I personally don't find meat that healthy because it's not something I eat, and my body is awful at prefixes sit it, so I avoid it

[xXiTacoXx]

My body doesn't do so well without meat after a while. .3.

That's different, they only time I've ever heard of that is when people aren't eating enough or eating enough nutrient rich foods

there are so many healthier meat substitutes available today i dont see why you think you need it in your diet... i haven't eaten meat in 32yrs and im healthy enough

I'm sick of meat substitutes they taste terrible to me. If I can't enjoy it I don't want to eat it. My mother cut out mammals and stuff out of her diet at age 14 and is now working her way to cutting out fish and poultry, but she has also has meat substitutes that she likes and when I was younger she'd make me and my brother eat it thinking that just because it's "healthier" that we'd enjoy it more which couldn't be farther form the truth. If you weren't going to cook something yourself then you can't eat it was her rule so I learned how to cook what I like. Also, I have no intentions of being a vegetarian as I've stated before in the question. . -.

my mother was a meat eater and said the same kinda thing to me which is possibly why i went the opposite way so i do understand... if soya/quaorn isn't your think you could look into which pulses/dairy/vegetables have the protien you need like mushrooms are a very good dead cow replacement etc. if its the taste you crave then i can't help you but i will never accept that meat is a healthy option. diet is a very personal thing so i hope you dont think im preaching. its just i have done my research and do know that humans do not need to eat dead animals to live... good luck whatever you decide

Lol I think we both know my choice.
