Carnivore Meal Planner

GoCarnivore Meal Planner is an easy but useful tool that provides meal plans based on your caloric needs and diet goals and helps you make your own meal plans.

The first step is to choose your diet based on your carbohydrate goals: less than 5g (Carnivore), less than 20g (Ketovore), and less than 50g (Keto).

Then, you just need to specify the kinds of animal products (especially meat) and foods you wish to include and exclude. It's all about your taste and food preferences - of course, in line with the foods allowed in each diet category.

When you're all set, click "Generate Meal Plan" and wait for the GoCarnivore Meal Planner to provide your personalized meal plan.

Choose The Right Diet

Keto

If you are new to a low-carb lifestyle, you can start with Keto. It limits your carbohydrate intake to 20-50 grams a day and increases fat and protein. About 70% of your daily calories come from healthy fats and 20-30% from protein.

• Fat Sources: Fatty cuts of meat, fatty fish, butter, tallow, etc.
• Protein Sources: Ruminant meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, etc.
• Carbohydrate Sources: Low-carb, non-starchy vegetables

Lowering your carbohydrate consumption to less than 50g per day induces the fat-burning state, ketosis, which boosts fat melt and weight loss and improves inflammation, brain function, and hormonal balance, especially insulin.

Ketovore

As you adapt to the low-carb lifestyle, you can upgrade to the Ketovore plan, which requires you to reduce carbohydrates to less than 20 grams (10-20g) daily.

This reduction will add to the ketosis results, improving your mood and cognitive function, reducing inflammation and insulin resistance, and promoting weight loss.

The general macronutrient ratio on the Ketovore Diet is 70-80% fat, 20-25% protein, and 10-15% carbohydrates sourced from meat, poultry, fish, and limited vegetables and dairy.

Carnivore

As your body is fat-adapted and you're looking for optimal results, like alleviating cancer symptoms, controlling type 2 diabetes, and maintaining hormonal balance, you can transition to Carnivore.

At this stage, you need to remove all plant-based products and focus on high-fat, moderate-protein animal-based foods. Your carbohydrate intake should be decreased to less than 10g a day, with most of your calories coming from fat and moderate protein.

While traditional diets generally count calories and limit eating, which is not a sustainable, long-term strategy, Carnivore and Ketogenic diets focus on balancing hormones by restricting carbohydrates and managing insulin.

By focusing on regulating hormones through your food choices, you can actually eat a greater volume of nutrient-dense animal-based foods without worrying about gaining unwanted weight.

This is because the hormonal balance achieved on these diets allows your body to efficiently utilize the calories you consume rather than storing them as fat.

As you transition from a standard diet to a Ketogenic one and ultimately to a Carnivore approach, the nutrient density per calorie consumed increases dramatically.

This means you can eat satisfying, satiating meals without the constant struggle of calorie restriction. The key is prioritizing hormone optimization through your dietary choices.

Tips for a Basic Carnivore Diet Meal Plan

To balance your macronutrients and have a balanced Carnivore Diet, include various nutritious, animal-based food sources and consider the following tips:

• Choose high-quality, grass-fed, and organic animal-based foods.
• Include a variety of protein sources like beef, pork, poultry, fish, and seafood.
• Add healthy fats like butter, cheese, tallow, lard, fatty cuts and meat, and fatty fish to provide energy and promote ketosis.
• Try different cooking methods and use various ingredients to bring variety to your table.
• Monitor your body's reactions and adjust your macronutrients (fat and protein) as needed.
• Consult a healthcare professional or nutritionist to ensure your diet is balanced and meets your goals.
