Daily examples: strict carnivore vs animal-based

Two sober day-pictures — no calorie target, no ideal body. For comparison, not to copy as a religion.

  • Strict and animal-based share the meat base. The difference has to be visible on the plate, not only on the label.
  • Amounts are examples for an adult with an office day. Not targets.
  • Anyone who undereats is copying the photo, not the satiety.

Day A — strict carnivore (weekday)

Morning: three eggs in butter, salt, and coffee.

Lunch: 250–350 g pan-fried beef mince with tallow or butter in the pan, salted well.

Evening: 300 g steak, eat the visible fat. Optional 30 g liver if this is an organ day.

Drinks: water, coffee, tea. Bone broth optional. No fruit, no honey, no yogurt. Spices only minimally.

Day B — animal-based (weekday)

Morning: three eggs, plus berries or an apple, and coffee.

Lunch: the same mince pan as day A, plus a piece of hard cheese or yogurt if tolerated.

Evening: fish or beef.

The base stays animal. The extras are measured. A smoothie, juice, granola, and a steak at the end — that is not animal-based in the sense of this site.

What should stay the same

Take satiety seriously. Salt to taste. Organs in small amounts. Use leftovers.

Training days often just need more of the same. Not a second diet system.
