I love these meal prep videos!! These are a huge motivator for us carnivores that struggle with staying the course to meet our goals. Thank you for doing these and sharing! 💕
I don’t count macros on my OMAD situation, but I’ve recently (and simply) been drinking an extra half cup per day of double / heavy cream to boost the fat intake. 💩 is perfect, full satiety - it seems to be working… and I’ve had full blood panels carried out to make sure everything is still fine. Good luck to you.
I cannot consistently eat 1800 calories a day without a couple of refeed days of 2,200-2,300 calories. After four days of eating 1800 this week, tonight it's 2,205 and I'm okay with that.
Same problem for me here. I want enough volume. For that reason, I think eggs and fish might be good ideas for one of the meals so that I can have a pound of eat for my other meal!
I love the honesty about still wanting more food after eating. I feel like every youtuber says they are full and not hungry at all, but your honesty is relatable and actually makes me respect you more. I will definitely be subscribing.
From a fellow binge eater, I'm wondering if that feeling of not feeling satiated after meals may eventually backfire. Is there a way for you to eat a little more at each meal to where you feel satiated, but not stuffed so maybe you're still in a calorie deficit, but don't feel deprived? Whenever I restrict too long, I end up bingeing after a while. But you know you, so maybe this doesn't apply. Either way, meal prepping is great and good luck to you! 🙂
Those meals look delicious. That broth I can almost taste from here. Must look for those egg wraps. 🇦🇺 Please let us know how you go. Love following your journey.
I purchased a full brisket, I was planning to make beef flour dehydrating it at the lowest temperature in my oven, I make chicken flour this way, thank you for reminding me. ❤
I’m so glad that I ran into your video accidentally. This is so much help to me to stay on carnivore. I’m on keto for a few years now and try to switch to carnivore because of my son and husband. I consider myself a passionate cooker, but I’m just blank, don’t know what to cook for carnivore. Thank you so much for such a great ideas for meals prep. Now I have you as my guidance. Thanks.
for your goal and interest perhaps experiment with this (both temporary) - rather than increase fat to handle mild constipation, supplement with magnesium powder, and for both wishing to eat larger quantity of food but continue/accelerant weight loss, use moderate fat meats - revert to a healthier high fat meat to test satiety every now and then
Love your idea! Meal prep is a great strategy to stay on track with calorie reduction. Maybe something to consider: on a continuous calorie restriction diet, your metabolism can adjust to the reduction and stall your progress. Maybe to keep your body guessing, average 1800/day with 3 days at 1800 followed by 2 days at 1600 and 2 days at 2,000? Or something like that.
Thanks, appreciate your video & have a good one! Enjoy your meals I have the same blue dutch oven…I use it a lot too! Keep doing what you do! You look beautiful! 🫶👏🏻
I only put 3 days worth of food in the fridge at a time, the rest goes in the freezer. True, it’s not quite as tasty as freshly cooked but I work 6:00am to 6:00 pm so it’s basically impossible to cook 3 fresh meals per day on work days
Hi Jen! Great meal prep ideas. I think this strategy would help me a ton. I like those egglife wraps too. Do you warm up your breakfast burritos or eat them cold?
Plase, Allow me to ask a couple of question about the Carnivore diet.Sorry fo i alredy posted before but i dont know what to do : I am now over 150 days into a Strick Carnivore diet (I only eat meat and eggs. Nothing else 500-600g of COCKED meat plus 7-8 eggs in a day. All Divided in 2 meals) I am now 35 years old, 181cms tall, 180lbs(+-81,5kg) at +-22%BF. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week.(lift weigths to help sustain or increase muscle mass and assist fat loss- HIT Workouts). I started the Carnivore diet to improve my body composition. I was a HEALHTY guy with NO chronic illnesses or health problems. I lost about 17 lbs in the first 6 weeks (Mostly water) but since then I haven't been able to change my body composition. I have now gone more than 8 weeks without registering any body changes (weight loss, decrease in BF% or measurements).In fact i have gained 2,5 lbs in the last 3 weeks but might be just water. I still need to lose at least another 15lbs of fat to reach my goal of being below 15%BF. However, I don't see how the Carnivora Diet will facilitate this process. I have not experienced most of the benefits common to Carnivores (Improved sleep, more energy/disposition, etc.) nor can I change my body composition. So I would like to ask more experienced Carnivores: 1- How long should I extend my experience with the Carnviroa diet to be able to lose the excess bodyfat I still have?(at least 15lbs of fat) 2- What is the minimum time you should maintain a Carnivora diet when it is not working for you? 3-Is the Carnivore diet effective for those who are aldreay healthy and just need to improve body composition? I am affraid this way of eating is too restrictive, for a healthy person, with no aditional benefit from any other whole food diet. PS: Most of my time as a CArnivre i have not experience most Carnivore benefits or lost any body fat. Also, Sorry for any grammar mistake, i am Brazilian and english is not my first language. Thank you for your attention!
Jen, if possible, I'd love some brief info on the meat slicer you chose. Specifically, what you like most & least about it, & why you chose that one. I've been shopping them, yet keep getting hung up on the reviews; "plastic guard is flimsy/doesn't slice thin enough/bounces around on counter/cannot sharpen blades, must replace them"~ stuff like that. I could be overthinking it, but I put a lot of thought into the very few appliances I have room for... since I don't really. =) Thx for any add'l info you care to pass on~ Sam in AZ
I didn’t do a lot of research, I just picked one! I don’t have any of the complaints you listed. My only complaint is that the meat doesn’t fall off in the back. I have to grab it and pull it off every few slices.
ive been having an issue eating enough. I eat a single NY strip steak a day and i feel full all day. I'm 6' tall 230 lbs. Idk how I can get my appetite and metabolism up!!
I think you’ll eventually start feeling more hungry. I wouldn’t force yourself to eat unless you’re noticing some negative side effects from eating too little (no energy, hair loss, etc)
I see a lot of carnivore women using these egg life wraps, but the ingredients are not healthy to me. I'm doing carnivore for health reasons, not weight loss or convenience, so these are a no-no for me.
Great video for planning meals .......I would like to say that as far as I know with Carnivore, calories and counting them isn't the norm with other experienced Carnivores!! We eat until we're full and that lasts virtually 24 hours.
but i wasn't actually doing math to adjust the fat and protein macros. I simply chose fattier foods and figured out how to make them reach the right amount of calories.
I make my short ribs in the slow cooker with just a splash of water to cover the bottom of ceramic bowl. I only season with salt and they come out delicious. About 6 hrs on low.
Meal prepping is a great idea. The brisket jerky looked amazing. It's on my to try list. IMO, meal prepping early in your carnivore journey is one of the best tactics. Having proper food available to firght through those sugar, carbs, fruit, and processed food cravings is essential. Calories in the beginning shouldn't be a concern. Once the body heals (feeling no pain and more energy) and if you have stalled experiment with the changing up calories, cheeses, dairy, fat, and protein.
I love that you do meal prep! so organized! I am on Carnivore for health purposes, but I keep hearing that if people want to lose weight, don't count calories (unless you think youre under 1800 or 2000 per day) because if you do a calorie deficit your weight loss will stall. Really what you do is concentrate on getting enough protein and its important to get enough fat to sustain you until your next meal so you dont crave then snack. You really want to avoid being hungry on Carnivore, that is the beauty of it, eat til youre full. I think you look great! I'm rooting for you all the way!!!
Well you have just proved that this w.o.e. is so personal. We are all created differently and we just have to figure out what works best for ourselves. You got this!❤
Aldi and HyVee for me in MN. My Walmart had them for a short time but then stopped carrying them. Also Maria Emmerich has a recipe to make something similar.
Jen, I have a Recommendation for you. I happen to have the same 4x7 pyrex dishes, which are not usable in the instapot, because those plastic lids won't work. I found silicone replacement lids for ALL of my pyrex dishes and bowls. The brand is 'Sophico' and they fit like a glove. I pressed the lid down before putting it on tight and it held a vacuum. And yes, I did test them in the instapot. And, yes, I found them on Amzn. Decent prices and well worth it, IMO. Consider this my product review. If you haven't replaced your plastic pyrex lids, look these up. Highly Recommended.
I love these meal prep videos!! These are a huge motivator for us carnivores that struggle with staying the course to meet our goals. Thank you for doing these and sharing! 💕

I have been meal prepping for over 35 yrs and I tell everyone to do it......best way to save money and NOT cheat!
Agree … gotta be prepared .
These videos give me great ideas!
I'm so glad!

You go girl! You got this! Whatever it takes to keep you on track. I'm right there with you in the struggle & cheering you on!!!🎉

U Are Beautiful.

I love the meal prep videos. Jeep them coming. After i watch each one i go to the grocery store. Buy what you had and prep. Thank you
After watching your brisket jerky I pulled out my dehydrator and I’m making chuck jerky and pork loin chips🎉

I love your ideas. That would not be enough food for me. Do you eat much fish?
No, I’m gonna try eating more. I know it’s so good for you

Thank you so much to my Dutch oven twin!
I am for simple.
I eat like A Lion 🦁.
Like the meal prep a lot. I’m not creative and this really helped.
I’m so glad!
Niceee, hope the carnivore cut goes well, a nice calories (not so low). Keep up sharing the good content and i wish u stay happy and healthy 😊😊😊
I find that beef short ribs cooked in the crock pot is even easier. I cook them on high for three hours. Perfect.
Yes, that’s another great way to do it!
Who would like to eat what was sitting there for a week?
No, thank you.
Do not be lazy.
Eat freshly prepared meals.
3,4 days MAX.
I only put 3 days worth of food in the fridge at a time, the rest goes in the freezer. True, it’s not quite as tasty as freshly cooked but I work 6:00am to 6:00 pm so it’s basically impossible to cook 3 fresh meals per day on work days
Hi Jen! Great meal prep ideas. I think this strategy would help me a ton. I like those egglife wraps too. Do you warm up your breakfast burritos or eat them cold?
I warm them up!
Do you think carnivore may be creating insulin resistance? I was never the same after carnivore.
I don’t think so 🤷♀️
Is there a specific reason for the raw milk to be drunk(?) at the end of the day?
It keeps my blood sugar from dipping too low and helps me sleep
How do you know how much fat your getting. I need a cheat sheet.
I track the food in an app. I use Cronometer
Do the Egglife wraps get soggy?
Nope, I haven’t found that to be the case!
Thank you
You're welcome
Love your meal prep ideas!!!! ❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you!

I think you’ll eventually start feeling more hungry. I wouldn’t force yourself to eat unless you’re noticing some negative side effects from eating too little (no energy, hair loss, etc)
@@delightedtomeatyou yes, I was having issues. My weight loss stalled and I had very low energy. Trying to combat that.

You can absolutely make them yourself but I haven’t tried that yet
Yup… just more garbage….
Great video for planning meals .......I would like to say that as far as I know with Carnivore, calories and counting them isn't the norm with other experienced Carnivores!! We eat until we're full and that lasts virtually 24 hours.
True.
You’re right, it’s not the norm. But I did the norm for a long time and slowly gained weight
@@delightedtomeatyou Okay .......wish you all the best with the way you're approaching eating. Cheers!!
doesn't work for me, I can eat a LOT which is probably why I'm not losing
Question? So if you add fat, do lower protein to keep calories at 1800?
yes
but i wasn't actually doing math to adjust the fat and protein macros. I simply chose fattier foods and figured out how to make them reach the right amount of calories.
Thank you for answering.
The short ribs will turn regular water into broth
You’re totally right. I just wanted a little extra pizazz! And it was good!

I agree with all of this 😊
I do meal prep, is basic to save time and eat healthy. I love to watch Terri Leist meal prep videos, she is the queen of carnivore/low carb meal prep
I’ll have to check her out
Thank you so much. How many scrambled eggs was that?
2 eggs per burrito
Yes love this example
I love seeing what you meal prep….gives me ideas for my own meal planning.
I'm so glad!
Looks delicious 😋 ❤
Love the food prep videos. So glad you are seeing success.

Meal prepping is a HUGE help! Where to buy the egg white wraps? I couldn’t find them at Walmart.
Google it and they’ll find a store near you. I’ve gotten them at Aldi and Kroger
Aldi and HyVee for me in MN. My Walmart had them for a short time but then stopped carrying them. Also Maria Emmerich has a recipe to make something similar.
Great Meal prep.
How do you like the egglife wraps?? I wanna try to make burritos with them
They’re plain and tasteless. Basically just like a tortilla 😂
@@delightedtomeatyouok Thanks
I hope your poops get better.
Me too 😂
I HAVE THAT SAME FOOD SCALE!
