I'll still eat a steak or roast for dinner now and then, but I realized that I was eating way too much red meat in other things, too. So, basically I'm cutting out things like:

TV dinners with beef products (I'll stick to the chicken, turkey, and Chinese ones)
Beef pizza (If Crawl still wants to get half of a pizza with beef, that's fine, but I want 1/2 to be vegetables for me. I always got mushroom pizza in NJ, but ever since I moved to Ohio, I almost always eat beef pizza.)
Roast Beef subs (I'll stick to turkey, tuna, and chicken)

There are some areas in which I had already pretty much cut out red meat. I almost never get red meat of any kind of buffet restaurants, like the Chinese one. I sometimes got Roast Beef at the American one, but I'll either cut that out entirely or just take very little. And we haven't eaten homemade spaghetti in a long time. I almost never order meat sauce at Italian restaurants because I don't know of any that are only beef, they all have pork. I almost never get desserts at these places anymore (except fruit) because they rarely have anything I like anyway.

I might still occasionally have a beef taco at Taco Bell (I have a weakness for those), but I almost always get either the Chicken Zesty Bowl or a chicken burrito anyway.

I'm also cutting back on snacks and trying to substitute lower-calorie, healthier foods for things like ice cream and chocolate. I take salads to work instead of going to the vending machine. If I do have to go, I try to get the most low-calorie thing possible, such as White Cheddar Popcorn (I can't eat the kind with butter because I'm allergic to it) or Soy Crisps. I still would like to go out for ice cream sometimes in the summer (when all the ice cream places are open), but maybe only once a week now (and on the weekend when I have more time to exercise it off.)

The pot roast Banquet dinners aren't that bad as far as fat and calories go, but it's also not one of my favorites. I might still occasionally eat one if I just get in the mood for something different. Fried chicken is the unhealthiest kind, but I don't usually get that kind. I get the grilled barbecue chicken.

It's a good thing I am cutting out the Salisbury Steak Banquet meals. I told someone that this was the last Salisbury Steak I would be eating for awhile because I'm reducing red meat in my diet (I had one left in the freezer and had to use it up). They joked that it probably doesn't have much real meat in it anyway. I said, okay, let's look at the ingredients - and I noticed that there is pork listed in them! I'm pretty sure I checked the ingredients for the Salisbury Steak once before a long time ago and I don't remember seeing pork there. So either I missed it, or they started adding pork at some point for whatever reason and there was no way I would have ever known they did.

That might explain why the Salisbury Steaks sometimes upset my stomach. There were a few times when I wouldn't buy them for awhile because they made me feel kind of nauseas after eating them.
