They eat it for the protein that it provides, which helps to build muscle.
Also, most body builders have to take in a lot of calories in order to have the energy they need to work out.

That red meat is unhealthy is a topic for debate.
Much of what we classify as "unhealthy food" comes from analyzing populations that are overweight or have risk factors, then looking at their diets. It happens that many obese individuals happen to consume large quantities of red meats.
Unfortunately, the studies do not qualify this well. For example, eating tons of hamburgers that are 90% fat is far different than consuming lean beef that is 4% fat, for example.
There is also not good data to suggest that eating red meat while maintaining or losing weight is unhealthy - it could be that the risks are simply from overconsumption, and these risks could easily be found in other foods as well.
Red meat contains complete proteins and is a good source of natural iron. Both iron and protein are important for building muscle and recovering from intense workouts.

Bodybuilders oftentimes eat very lean red meat. They also usually have a high metabolism, so their bodies break down the meat quickly; therefore they are able to use it for fuel.
You can compare that to the average joe who eats fatty cuts of meat and doesn't work out all all. Of course THAT'll kill you!

They are trying to build bulk.
The main reason you hear about red meat being bad, is because most people that eat a lot of it, also sit on their azzes doing nothing for most of the day.
A bodybuilders body burns fat even when they are at rest.

They eat meat in order to get protein for building muscles. A much healthier altrenative would be to eat tofu. veggie burgers, or a protein shake.
