Food alternatives

The carnivore diet focuses solely on animal products, providing all essential nutrients from meat, fish, and dairy. Here are some alternatives:

  • Replace chicken with duck breast for a richer flavor and higher fat content.
  • For a change from ribeye steak, try bison burger patties, which are leaner and packed with nutrients.
  • Instead of salmon, consider mackerel for another fatty fish option high in omega-3s.
  • Use beef liver as a nutrient powerhouse rich in vitamins A and B.
  • Snack on pork rinds instead of traditional jerky for a crunchy, zero-carb treat.

How to budget on this meal plan

Focus on buying eggs, butter, and ribeye steak in bulk. Salmon, shrimp, and garlic are key ingredients that can be bought in bulk. Bacon, ground beef, and cheese slices are often cheaper when purchased in larger quantities. Chicken thighs, chicken liver, and pork sausages can be more cost-effective in larger sizes.

Extra tips

Any healthy snack ideas?

Stay true to a carnivorous approach with these keto, meat-based snacks:

  • Beef jerky (check for no added sugars)
  • Pork rinds for a crunchy treat
  • Canned tuna or salmon for convenience
  • Chicken thighs, baked or grilled
  • Liver pâté spread on cucumber slices
  • Bacon strips, cooked until crispy
  • Homemade meatballs, seasoned lightly

What should I drink on this meal plan?

On a keto carnivore diet, options are more limited due to the nature of the diet. Water is essential for hydration. Bone broth, rich in nutrients and minerals, is highly recommended. For variety, consider incorporating a zero-carb, carnivore-friendly electrolyte drink. Avoid beverages with carbs or plant derivatives to stay true to the carnivore approach.

How to get even more nutrients?

For those interested in combining keto with a carnivore diet, the focus is almost exclusively on animal products. This diet is inherently high in protein and fats but low in fiber, so it’s important to choose a variety of meats including organ meats, which are nutrient-dense, and fatty fish for omega-3 fatty acids. This combination can help maintain ketosis while ensuring intake of essential nutrients found primarily in animal products.
