Lots of beans - if you eat them all the time your body will adapt and you won't gas out your family and friends.  Probiotics help reduce gas, too.

+1.  We eat a lot of beans too, but no issues here.  Your body does adapt.

If the Almighty didn't want us to eat animals, then He wouldn't have made them out of meat.

For meats we're big on chicken here.  Pork probably comes in second.  Beef a third and then fish a fourth.

Trying to get fish up higher on the list but the wife is hesitant about it.  She likes it every time we have it but it never sounds good when we're planning out meals for the week.

Grandpa: What the... what the hell is this?

John: That's lite beer.

Grandpa: Gee, I weigh ninety goddamn pounds, and you bring me this sloppin' foam?

John: Ariel's got me on a diet because the doc said my cholestorol's a little too high.

Grandpa: Well let me tell you something now, Johnny. Last Thursday, I turned 95 years old. And I never exercised a day in my life. Every morning, I wake up, and I smoke a cigarette. And then I eat five strips of bacon. And for lunch, I eat a bacon sandwich. And for a midday snack?

John: Bacon.

Grandpa: Bacon! A whole damn plate! And I usually drink my dinner. Now according to all of them flat-belly experts, I should've took a dirt nap like thirty years ago. But each year comes and goes, and I'm still here. Ha! And they keep dyin'. You know? Sometimes I wonder if God forgot about me. Just goes to show you, huh?

John: What?

Grandpa: Huh?

John: Goes to show you what?

Grandpa: Well it just goes... what the hell are you talkin' about?

John: Well you said you drink beer, you eat bacon and you smoke cigarettes, and you outlive most of the experts.

Grandpa: Yeah?

John: I thought maybe there was a moral.

Grandpa: No, there ain't no moral. I just like that story. That's all. Like that story.

So where's the option for:

Omnivore- normal amounts of meat/dairy?

All I see is heavy vs. light.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I had to chose omivore light since we eat a lot of different colors of meat. =)

I could eat red meat everyday but the rest of the family doesn't feel the same way. So we eat all the tasty fish and animals fairly balanced.

A hand cut ribeye and a plate of bowtie pasta with a cheese sauce made with a half pound of velveta and real butter and cream. UUUMMM.  =D

I generally go for light omnivore.  A typical dinner is a few grilled chicken tenders diced up on top of a big spinach salad.

for lunch generally I have more grilled chicken tenders and a baggie of cut up carrots and red bell peppers.

Breakfast is generally shredded wheat and milk wtih a handful of raw unsalted almonds.

I like meat, but I don't eat much of it because I'm a cheap bastard, and also because my daughter has turned vegetarian (it's a 20 yo girl thing) and she is home for the summer.  I eat fruits and vegetables, lots of cheese, and a fair amount of beans... and maybe a 99¢ Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger every once in a while. 

We won't talk about how much alcohol I drink; I should probably cut down on that a bit because I'm trying to lose weight and it has a lot of calories.

Whatever I can find, usually.
Not very healthy it isn't.
I'm very worried since my dad got that diverticulosis (sp?) from eating too much meat, but I can't afford much more than instant noodles and whatever else the family feels like sharing.  At least I can visit dad's mom's sometimes and get some nice home cooked health food.

Maybe for most people. I ate beans almost every day growing up (healthy + cheap) and I've always had pretty wicked gas when I eat them. Ask Marnoot, he's known me for a long time.

As long as it's not moving, I'll eat it. Lately, though, it's more like if it's frozen I'll eat it.

I can vouch for this, though the effects of lasagna are much worse . . .

Omnivore, heavy on meat and dairy.

Breakfast is 1 pint or sometimes 1.5 pints of Whole Milk with Cereal. Big bowl full to the brim x2 basically.
Lunch and dinner is often full of meat and starchy foods. I love potatoes, pasta, rice.
When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt, run in little circles, wave your arms and shout!

Breakfast:  Either
Eggs, (Turkey or Venison) Bacon and Toast
Pancakes (Blueberries or Strawberries Optional)
Cereal
Oatmeal
Rolls
Bagels
Etc.  (or combinations thereof)

Lunch:
I generally don't eat lunch

Dinner:
A meat (Chicken ~twice a week, Red meat ~twice a week, Fish~ once a week, Pasta~once a week, and Pizza Friday nights)
Potato and Veggie or two
Bread (of some form)
Fruit for desert  (sometimes Ice Cream or other desert)
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.
