Christian Carnivore

From now on, I’ll be posting my day the “next day” to ensure I capture all my snacks and feelings. I’m sure I am not the only one who can go from feeling fine, to struggling with cravings, to feeling blah or fantastic, all in the same day. So, I’ll be treating each post as a journal entry!

Woke up and wanted to do chores and work for about 1 hour before eating.

Meal 1 – Repeat of yesterday (bacon and eggs) with an unsweet black tea

Snack – Two servings of string cheese mozzarella

Today I was hungry 3 hours after my 1st meal. This is different from yesterday, so we’ll see how this trend goes. After fasting, I am satisfied on smaller meals, and stay full longer. Even though I’m not officially tracking my calories, I believe yesterday was around 2,000 calories. After today is over, we’ll see if it was any different.

Meal 2 – Ribeye steak, about 1 pound cooked (set aside additional 6 ounces for tomorrow)

This ribeye was definitely a splurge, but I wanted to celebrate the beginning of my Carnivore journey with a great steak! I ended up eating this steak about 2.5 hours after my snack. Honestly, I was worried that the ribeye wouldn’t hold me all night, and that I’d need a snack later. But steak is my friend, and I was satisfied the rest of the night for 8 hours. And I didn’t go to bed hungry, which is awesome.

Energy: Today, I felt really good. No afternoon slump, no headache. I still woke up feeling sluggish, and initially wanted to go back to bed. However, once I got going on chores, I felt good.

Batch Cooking – To save time on future meals, I decided to try batch cooking a frittata. On hand, I only had enough eggs to make 3 servings. But cooking larger batches would save me time throughout the week for my 1st meal. Sometimes I’m on the go or want to leave early, so having a meal that is easy to heat and take in a container will be helpful.

• Carnivore Frittata – Each portion will have 1/3 pound of ground beef, 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, 3 slices of bacon and just under 3 eggs.

I’m thankful for this Carnivore adventure. If you are eating Carnivore too, would you comment below? God bless.
