2-And my coach told me that I cannot eat minced meat!! even though the sheet does not say anything against it! Please advise. Thank you!!

Is she maybe confusing MINCED meat (i.e finely chopped meat) with MINCEMEAT (the blend of dried fruits and spices)??? Any meat, however it is cut, is fine, just weigh it raw to get the right amount. Obviously mincemeat is NOT phase 1 approved
RE: how often....there's no restriction, however steak is naturally higher in sodium so you may want to keep an eye on yourself and see if you tend to retain water more the day after eating steaks. I LOVE beef but I do tend to retain some water after eating it, so I try not to have beef more than twice a week.
