Depends: Are you trying to lose weight or reduce saturated fats from your diet? To lose weight it is better to eliminate bread full of sugar and processed flour. To reduce saturated fat, it is better to limit meat. You can eat a bread (in freezer section) like alvarado street at 50 calories a slice and still enjoy some grass fed, lean beef once in a while in small portion and accomplish both.

Bread is not good: Bread is bad for your health, especially if it is made out of wheat. It is not a secret that most breads contain sugar, which is extremely bad for you. They are easily digested and rapidly spike blood sugar and Insulin levels, which can lead to the notorious blood sugar and stimulate hunger. Meat is ok in moderation.

Red meat.: Bread really got a bad rap because of the carbohydrate thing. Whole grain bread is really fine. Red meat is unhealthy as a staple of the diet.
