From air-fried beef sausages and buttery scrambled eggs to homemade collagen-rich bone broth and unique snacks like pork rinds and sardines, discover how I maintain energy, support healing, and enjoy flavorful meals on this lifestyle.
Hello carnivores! Today, I’m excited to share a full day of eating on my seven-year high-fat carnivore journey. This article will give you a detailed look at what I eat, how I prepare my meals, and some pro tips to make the carnivore diet work better for you. Whether you’re curious about meal timing, cooking hacks, or food choices, this comprehensive guide has you covered.
I usually start my morning by cooking whatever I’m craving. Today, I chose two Teton beef sausages from Costco, which are clean and pork-free. I simply place the sausages in my air fryer at 350°F for about 18 minutes.
While the sausages cook, I prepare my eggs. I love fatty, buttery scrambled eggs, so I use about a tablespoon and a half of butter in a heated pot. I typically eat six eggs for breakfast, but I could easily eat up to 18 in one sitting because I love eggs so much.
Over the years, I’ve experimented with various egg types and preparations, including:
If you’re sensitive to eggs, I highly recommend trying duck eggs. They are gentle on the system and surprisingly milder in taste than chicken eggs, which is great for those healing from histamine intolerance or autoimmune issues.
I don’t drink alcohol, soda, or wine. Instead, my beverage of choice is a simple, luxurious non-alcoholic drink that I enjoy even during celebrations. It’s a refreshing and healthy alternative.
When traveling or cooking at home, I rely on two main gadgets:
These tools make meal preparation effortless and versatile.
One of the best parts of the carnivore diet is that leftovers from breakfast can easily be repurposed for lunch or dinner. For example, leftover sausages and ground beef can be combined with other staples for a quick meal.
You can enjoy the broth as a jiggly jelly or reheat it as a warm soup.
For crunchy cravings, pork rinds are my go-to snack. They are 100% animal-based and can be elevated by dipping in melted butter for extra fat and flavor.
Typically, I eat two meals a day. However, around my menstrual period, I may eat two meals plus a snack or three full meals due to increased hunger.
I frontload my fat intake in the morning because fat provides sustained energy throughout the day. After seven years on a high-fat carnivore diet, my body has become a fat-burning machine.
The carnivore diet has done wonders for my health beyond weight management. My skin is clear, and I no longer suffer from eczema, brain fog, depression, or anxiety attacks. Eating the right animal foods positively impacts every aspect of life, especially for women.
I keep a dedicated meat locker stocked with my carnivore essentials:
I source most of my beef from US Wellness because I trust their quality more than grocery store meats.
For dinner, I often spruce up leftovers with additional staples like the bronfer, a liver-based spread mixed with spices and beef. It’s flavorful without the typical organ meat taste.
To finish the day, I enjoy a carnivore-friendly dessert: brown butter bark with carnivore granola at the bottom. It’s frozen and broken into pieces for a delicious treat.
I hope this detailed look at my carnivore meal strategy inspires you with new ideas and tips. Whether you’re new to carnivore or a seasoned veteran, experimenting with different foods, cooking methods, and meal timing can help you find what works best for your body.
If you’re interested in trying some of the recipes or gadgets I mentioned, feel free to explore and adapt them to your preferences. Remember, the best diet is one that supports your health and lifestyle sustainably.
