Not all meats are bad. Leaner cuts of beef are rich in iron and other nutrients. If you're craving a real steak you can't beat a sirloin or filet mignon in terms of fat content.
Pork is extremely lean and nutritious, much more so than chicken in the same quantities in my opinion. Try loin chops or tenderloin, they're the leanest cuts. Prepare as you would chicken. Ham is also very low in calories and if you get a low-sodium brand it's even better for you.
Lamb I do tend to stay away from because it is very very high in fat. It's only for special occasions. I tend to eat chicken and pork the most. I hate turkey so I live my life without it.
