The entire time to prep, cook and clean is ~15m per day, if your feeling really lazy you can cook multiple days worth of food at once and it’s still 15m once and you have food for multiple days.
Cleaning is a single pan (or whatever you used). Most adapted carnivores only eat once per day (just by feeling, not forcing themselves).
If you are lazy, you can’t do better then carnivore. Even ordering food takes more time.
Plus… meat in the freezer lasts forever… if you don’t want to cook, no rush.
I’m fond of baking a pretty simple bread and eating it, too.
It is not a perfect warrior food. It has a longer burn time than animal-flesh/muscle. And when I am doing low energy desk stuff I find a little toasted or crusty bread, coffee, plus fruit/veg grazing works, too.
I still try to eat meat once a day. Once I learned that the world wide average is 2.2 ounces of animal protein PER DAY PER PERSON I started to see that perhaps I didn’t need to live so lush and privileged a lifestyle in animal flesh to exist.
But yeah frozen animal muscle is great advancement for humans. I mean it. Like the great Keen said, “If you’re feelin’ puny and you don’t know what to do; Treat yourself to some meat; eat some BBQ”
62g protein
That’s roughly a 250g steak.
world wide average is 2.2 ounces of animal protein PER DAY PER PERSON
That is why there is a global protein insufficiency crisis. 2.2oz is 62g which is enough protein for a 38-56kg (83lbs-123lbs) person depending on which guideline you use.
My food is two ingredients (bone dry beef, and tallow). The batch of beef in my mixing bowl now will make 3kg of food which is enough for about 20 days.
Three weeks of food for half a day’s work. My limiting factor is the amount I can dry at once
Meat -> Heat -> Eat
There were a couple years where I lived on soylent, and carnivore is even easier then that. Only one meal a day, I can skip a meal no problem, no food noise - I’m not jonesing or looking for food multiple times per day… it’s just less work, tremendously
- put cast iron skillet on stove, turn on heat
- Ghee on pan - with spoon
- grab ground beef, put in pan
- use spoon to move the beef around
- Optional - Add eggs
- Remove from heat, put skillet on table
- eat (use same spoon)
- clean skillet and spoon
Total items to clean : 1 cast iron skillet, 1 spoon… and you are done for the day
I think lots of people might call this ‘boy dinner’, but most carnivores are women (as far as I can tell).
Do you enjoy eating?
tremendously! It’s delicious.
Humans are optimized to survive on meat, its satisfying, and never gets boring.
It just so happens it’s also the easiest way to cook and eat due to its very simple nature. I should note that while the food is satisfying my day isn’t centered around food, I’m not living to eat.
We aren’t though. Protien is required but it takes a lot of energy to break it down and use it, thus why carbs and fats are also important. Look up Rabbit Starvation diet.
We also have a VERY long digestive tract compared to actual carnivores, because we evolved to digest grains and fiberous materials.

100% agreed, I should have been more clear. fatty red meat is optimal. we are lipovores and work best eating mostly fat.

We have discussed the digestive tract issues before: https://discuss.online/post/40918220
Carbs arent important, theyre candy
I’m not living to eat.
I guess that’s fair. That’s probably our biggest difference since I enjoy the whole cooking process. Tweaking seasonings as the process continues to make something complex and delicious.
But if that was never interesting then I guess it wasn’t a big loss.
I used to cook and bake, and greatly enjoyed making complex recipes. But without my health none of that was enjoyable, so I’m happy to give most of it up. I still use spices for seasoning sometimes (yes, I know, I have to turn in my carnivore card) and I’ll eat/drink in social situations to be polite.
Zero-carb isn’t about being a zealot or perfect adherence, it’s just a way of being as healthy as you can be.
don’t forget to untap at the start of your next turn!
mtg
netrunner
I think the netrunner is a better card, you should turn in the mtg card instead.
Haha, a for-real carnivore card! I should carry it around in my wallet.
That will ruin it’s value!

You can be as creative as you like on zero carb, nothing is stopping you. I’m just on the lazy side of the spectrum.
