Protein Target
"Prioritize fatty cuts of meat like ribeye or ground beef (80/20) to ensure adequate calorie intake for muscle growth, as satiety can come quickly on a carnivore diet. Don't be afraid to eat until full."
Focus on consuming large quantities of red meat, especially beef, as it's rich in highly bioavailable protein and essential amino acids. Aim for at least 1 gram of protein per pound of target body weight daily.
Keep it simple with 2-3 large meals per day consisting of meat, salt, and water. A typical meal might include a large steak, ground beef patties, or a mix of eggs and bacon. Don't restrict portion sizes; eat until satiated.
For most beginners, a well-structured carnivore diet provides all necessary nutrients for muscle growth. However, some advanced lifters might consider creatine monohydrate, though it's often found naturally in red meat.
