  • Pork rinds
  • Hard-boiled eggs
  • Cheese slices
  • Sardines or canned tuna
  • Grilled chicken strips

What should I drink on this meal plan?

In a carnivore diet, water is the staple beverage. Bone broth provides nutrients and hydration. If coffee is included, it offers a caffeine boost and antioxidants. Green tea can be an option for those who include plant-based items for its health benefits.

How to get even more nutrients?

The carnivore diet, which focuses exclusively on animal products, emphasizes high intakes of protein and fats from meats, fish, and dairy. It's essential to choose lean cuts of meat to balance saturated fat intake and include a variety of sources, such as fish, for omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for heart health.
