Daily examples: strict carnivore vs animal-based
Two sober pictures of a day — no calorie target, no ideal body. They are for comparison, not for copying as a religion.
At a glance
- Strict carnivore and animal-based eating share the meat base. The difference has to be visible on the plate, not only on the label.
- The amounts are examples for an adult with an office day. They are not targets.
- Anyone who undereats is copying the photo, not the satiety.
Day A — strict carnivore (weekday)
This is an ordinary plate, not a calorie plan and not a body to aim at. The amounts are an example for an adult with an office day.
In the morning you eat three eggs in butter, with salt, and coffee. At lunch, 250–350 g of beef mince goes in the pan with tallow or butter, salted well. In the evening you eat 300 g of steak, including the visible fat. Optionally you add 30 g of liver if this is an organ day.
Drinks stay at water, coffee, and tea. Bone broth is optional. Fruit, honey, and yogurt do not belong on this plate, and spices stay minimal.
Day B — animal-based (weekday)
The meat base should still be recognizable. What changes has to show up on the plate, not only in the label.
In the morning you eat three eggs again, plus berries or an apple, and coffee. At lunch you eat the same mince pan as day A, plus a piece of hard cheese or yogurt if you tolerate it. In the evening you eat fish or beef.
The base stays animal, and the extras are measured. A smoothie, juice, granola, and a steak at the end is not animal-based in the sense of this site.
What should stay the same
On both days you take satiety seriously and salt to taste. Organs stay in small amounts, and leftovers get used.
Training days often just need more of the same. That is not a second diet system.
