How Much Meat To Eat On Carnivore Diet? A Beginner’s Guide To Get Started

How Much Meat To Eat on Carnivore Diet

Have you ever wondered how meat to eat on carnivore, hyper carnivore, ketovore or animal based diet? If you are looking for a carnivore diet meal plan for beginners, there is a lot of information out there, but it can still be confusing at times. How much meat start off with? How much do you buy? What meats should I focus on? Does it change over time? In today’s video, Kevin will walk you through how. he initially transitioned from keto to carnivore, how much he determined to start eating each day, and how he turned his daily protein requirements that translated into a grocery list.

Starting Ratio
As a general guideline, a good starting ratio is 1g protein per 1lb of desired body weight. For example, if you weigh 170 lbs and want to weigh 150 lbs, then aim for 150g of protein. This can be adjusted upward if you are looking to gain muscle mass.

When figuring out how much meat to buy on the carnivore diet, in general, remember that 1lb of meat = 16 oz = 453 grams. For every 1 lb of meat, it is approximately 100g of protein. Multiply the weight in raw pounds of meat you are eating by x100 to come up with a quick estimate of the protein you’re eating as well. Obviously this can skew depending on the fattiness of the meat you are buying, but we’ve noticed on our diet so far and looking at the macros of the types of meats we’ve been eating over time it has tended to average out this way.

Alternatively, you could track everything you eat in one of those apps, but who wants to do that. This doesn’t need to be an exact science. I never wanted to spend the time tracking everything I eat, although that can’t help some people, it takes way too much mental energy that can be used elsewhere, and I don’t think people have fun doing that.

You can use your BMR as a guide for an estimate of the total amount of calories you need, however in the long term and due to any nutritional deficiencies, you may have, or the energy expenditure from the exercise you do, you should just eat until your full and use the BMR calculator as an estimate to only determine initial volumes of food you require on this diet

Economy Example:

150lb , 5’7” Person, Exercise 1-3 times/week

Economic Meal Plan
- 1.5 lbs of 80/20 ground beef (raw)
- 114g Protein, 132g fat, 1680 calories
- 3oz (3 slices) of Cheddar Cheese, 20g Protein, 28g fat, 345 calories
- 4 slices bacon, 16g Protein, 16g fat, 215 calories
Total: 150g Protein, 176g fat, 2240 Calories

Expensive Meal Plan
- 2lbs Rib Eye (raw)
- 168g Protein, 128g fat, 1840 calories
- 4tbsp Butter, 48 g fat, 408 calories
Total: 168g Protein, 176g fat, 2288 calories

I have watched MANY videos on the Carnivore diet.

I have never seen it broken down like this!

Short, to the point and super informative!

Thanks!

[keanemarbaniang]

[pamelawalker]

Have watched lots of videos on Carnivore, I like your style. To the point, easy to follow. Thanks

[captaincook]

On this diet just listen to your body. If you're hungry eat. when you're full stop

[steaksaltwaterguy]

Great video I am on my 9th month on Carnivore this woe is nothing more than miraculous to my health and well being. I wish I knew about this way of eating 30 years ago my quality of life would be so different and pain free.

[robinbeers]

Very clear concise presentation. I've been carnivore for ten years and there was not much in the way of guidance out there back then. Had to fuddle through on my own.
Regarding how much food to eat. It think it changes over time in any one person too. Multiple decades of a nutrient poor diet can leave a person with deficiencies. When I first started carnivore, I was packing away two pounds of meat a day. Now it is more like one pound. I think the body sometimes needs to "restock the shelves" of nutrients, do some repair work, strengthen your bones and those sorts of things first.

Just found your channel and I'm binge watching so many of your videos because you both make sense and talk about how to do the journey. Ive seen a lot on what to do but how to do it on a daily basis isn't discussed the way you two do. Ive subscribed and have great notes! Thank you!

[deborahsthisthat]

Carnivore for almost 3 months. Binge watching so many videos 🙄 YOURS is by far THE MOST INFORMATIVE, without ANY Many, MANY thanks...just subbed

[daskrak]

What an excellent video...just the information I was seeking. Thank you!

[suecameron]

Thank you so much for making this so straight forward, you have just made this an easy to follow change of diet...I am only week 1 and feeling great already..

[alethealenning]

Dude simple and to the point! Thank you

[stupormundi]

Good video! Great starting point for me. Thank you for sharing!

[jybre]

thanks for the clarity of the carnivore diet for those of us that need it

[fishermgcj]

As much as you want! Also lots of fat.
My favorite hack to stop a sugar binge. Cut a hunk of cold butter and munch. By the time I’m finished the binge is gone before it ever happened!! I’ve been a sugar/carb binge-er my whole life. Being able to stop one before I have consumed hundreds of calories of junk is so freeing!

[gnosisdespirit]

Thank you so much for the simple breakdown of how to do this diet...nearly everyone else wants to make this shiz so f-n complicated, its aggravating!

[md]

This is such a helpful video and very informative, as i was not feeling sure about the amount to eat. Thank you so much. Subscribed, too.😊

[ASbslLoves]

Thank you for sharing this video. I do not need to lose weight, I do need to be healthy! I have been keto for some while now and would Not like to try carnivore, but I need to! I have been learning about this for two weeks now and will be starting later today. I would love to hear from other people who are doing this for health, not for weight loss, or gain so that I can have some incentive and encouragement to continue, please. It with great to hear from anyone who has gone carnivore, thank you. Have a great day.🙂

[SL]

You’re advise at the end of your video really touched me, it’s what I needed to hear today, thank you xx

[JusticeAll-]

I started carnivore first of the year but actually didn’t know what I was doing. Been on Paleo, AIP, past 10 years with some good results…but wanted an easier diet & a diet that was less complicated., with better results. Watching other videos by carnivores left me somewhat confused. Am I eating enough? Too much? I basically eat Ribeye, eggs, bacon & butter. I throw in a recipe for great tortillas, carnivore, once a week for shrimp tacos as a “treat”.
Watching your video made everything so clear, thank you so much. Great information ❤
