to eat meat and eat

You don't need to repeat the word "eat." "To eat" refers to both meat and vegetables, so you can simply say, "Most guys like to eat meat and vegetables...."

"Phrase". We often let the second infinitive borrow the particle from the first one. To Live and Die in L.A. Theirs but to do and die. We were free to come and go as we pleased.

It's not "Most guys like to eat meat and vegetables," -- rather, it's Most guys like to eat meat, and (should really be "but") they eat vegetables just because you're supposed to." It's contrasting meat (which they eat because they like it)
