I’ve noticed several newcomers to this lifestyle tend to get confused about what they can eat or get bored with just eating the same old thing over and over and then there’s some that just don’t have much imagination around food and in the kitchen.

Well this is a thread for everyone to post what they eat each day.

It doesn’t matter if it’s something you eat day in and day out or if it’s something that’s unique but still in the spectrum of carnivore, post it up. It may help inspire someone to stick with their diet plan and reach their goals by introducing something new to their diet.

So, What did you eat today?

I don’t have much appetite today. I’ve got a cold that’s kickin my tail but I did manage to eat about a pound of venison steak with butter today. 

Hope all is well.

I did the boring 'at work lunch' today. 3 mongo burger patties with a little cheese and salt.

I have not had cheese in a while so I am wondering if it will 'loosen' me up any.

Hello everybody,

Went lite carnivore a week before, just halving rice/chips and adding more meat to my meals. Started dreaming every single night.

First day on actual carnivore(1-31-2025), I immediately fell off the bandwagon. Had milk and magic mind with breakfast which was a hotdog and scrambled eggs. Lunch had leftovers from breakfast but got sugar cravings so ate ketchup with it. Then binged on some dried cranberries (cranberries, sugar, sunflower oil).

Decided that dinner would be unadulterated carnivore. Made pork chops and hard boiled eggs sliced in half and drizzled gravy(from a youtube comment under a carnivore video) over both. Made said gravy by melting a stick of butter on low heat, whisking 2 TB of cream cheese(it separated) and then vigorously whisking in some cold whole milk(closest thing to heavy cream I had on hand. Also this fixed the separation issue.) and a little parmesan cheese. Gravy was rich and delicious and helped spice up the hard boiled eggs. It was so good I didn't have any cravings afterward.

Had leftovers for breakfast the next day. For lunch I made some burger patties with salt and pepper with hard boiled eggs on the side and monterey jack cheese melted over both. I usually get exhausted after lunch but I feel good. Dinner is going to be steak and mozzarella sticks(with pork rinds).

Today I took my sister and niece out for BBQ food.
They love carbs so I gave them the carbs that came with my food).

I had the slow cooked ribs, brisket, sausages, chicken wings, and pulled pork.
Needless to say, this was a treat haha

Pic is from their social media, but pretty much what I ate.

Well that didn’t last long did it.  Lol. 
Welcome Kayla and congratulations on a good comeback later that evening. 
If I can give you some advice, plan ahead. Have some bacon already precooked waiting in the fridge that you can grab right quick when one of those cravings hit you. It’s possible that it’s your cheese that is causing those cravings because cheese has sugar in it in the lactose. If you feel that you really need to eat cheese then make sure it’s made from full fat dairy and not skim or part skim milk. 
You are doing good so keep up the good work. Stay committed to kicking that sugar addiction. 

We did our first carnivore pizza last night. I thought it turned out really good. using chicken and eggs for the crust sounds odd when thinking of 'pizza crust' but it turned out really well. I expected it would have to be eaten with a fork but I was able to eat it by the slice like 'normal pizza'.

I added two eggs to a little over a pound of ground chicken with a handful of parmesan chicken. Mixed it together and flattened it out onto a butter covered toaster pan. We baked the 'crust' at 350 for ten minutes and then another three or four minutes on 450. It set for about five minutes and then added ground hamburger, ground sausage, parmesan cheese and then pepperoni. We made a little too many toppings for one pizza so I started over with parmesan, the rest of the meats topping it off with parmesan and pepperoni.

Sort of a double decker pizza or a super-duper "meat lovers". It tased really good and the fact the chicken and eggs made a 'pizza crust' was way cool.

I find that when I start the switch from a heroin/sugar diet to a ketogenic one, I can be somewhat ravenous!
The cravings result in me eating about 50+% more for 1-2 days.

For me, as long as what I eat is keto, then it's net positive because I'll be in ketosis in a few days, and reaping all the benefits. I find things like cold cut meats (salami, chorizo, prosciutto ham, etc.), Biltong, Droewors, etc. are fantastic for those transition days when cravings pop up.

I echo Geezy's encouragement...
Well done so far! Keep it up and kick that addiction!

It is pure addiction, for sure. To know this, is the most important step. A mental switch is needed as well.

Get well my brother, plenty of liquids, bring a nice size pot of water to a roaring boil, then let it simmer, it will vaporize the house, covid does not like heat.

Hi Angela. This was way back in December 2023, over a year ago, which was the last time I had Covid.

I'm just a little confused here. You quoted yourself and then responded to yourself. Who are you talking to? 😄

I just want to make sure you account hasn't been compromised.

Brother that still way healthier than 90% of what Americans eat on a daily basis. 

Queezy, how are you? I have been trying to fast and never succeeds; my appetite is poor and sometimes I go a few days without eating.

I had a dentist appointment today, so far just coffee.

 

TicTok has this viral cottage cheese bread out, so I made it last night and it is good. It's not eggy at all, I put butter, cheese and garlic on it.  Have you heard of it?

Have you heard of Fathead Pizza crust, it is good, like bread.

That looks tasty and I definitely want to try making it sometime.

Saturday...
Breakfast was a leftover burger patty with hard boiled eggs(buttered with a bit of cheese on top) heated in the oven. Lunch was a leftover porkchop, a hotdog and some leftover mozzarella sticks. Dinner was tilapia breaded in pork rinds and bacon.

Today...
Breakfast was eggs, ham and bacon, I was hungry but didn't want to eat so I cheated with a tablespoon of ketchup. Lunch was leftover eggs and ham. Dinner was pork chops, eggs, and white gravy with sliced up lunchmeat ham that spent too much time in the freezer and had to be wrung out. It was kind of like alfredo pasta.

I've noticed that my sugar cravings hit hard in the morning which makes me think I might just need more fat(the precooked bacon is a very good idea). Too much fat gives me indigestion but too little is a common mistake that leads people to give up on carnivore. Maybe I should try snacking on a little butter/bacon between meals?  Also I'm not going to be too puritanical right now since I'm a lot more likely to stick with it if I don't get bored. A little sugar from ham/milk/cheese is still a massive upgrade from my previous diet. Also I adore nachos but discovered that I have a very bad reaction to chili powder. I've cut out spices other then salt and pepper for now. Later I will test them all out and learn which ones can be added back in.

No picture because I demolished it before I thought of a picture 😅

Had a bowl of pan fried prawns with a generous amount of melted garlic butter and some sea salt.

I look forward to this dish every week!

Pan friend salmon later, or maybe some ribeye... ohhhh, maybe both!

4 sausage patties..4 eggs...3 doudle cheeseburgers...Meat only NO BUNS....Green tea..

You can still have nachos. Just use pork rinds and cheese with some kind of meat. You don’t need the chili powder.  Heck, I’ll even use jalapeños occasionally.
