How much to eat
The general rule when start the carnivore diet is not to track calories or macronutrients. If you are only eating animal foods, not avoiding fat and eating until satiety, you should meet your daily requirements (and not overeat) without having to track.
In order to meet your protein needs, you want to be eating around 1g of protein per pound of your goal bodyeweight. If your goal bodyweight is 140lb, eat 140g of protein. Fat can be added to this until you reach satiety.
Sample day of eating
Here is an example of what a sample day of eating might look like on the carnivore diet.
Morning
Black coffee
Meal 1
5 eggs cooked in butter
2 rashers of bacon
Meal 2
Steak (or other cut of meat) cooked in animal fat
Side of shrimp
It really is that simple! Personally, I usually eat two meals a day and find that works best for me. But some people eat three and some people eat one - there is no right or wrong way to do it!
