Carnivore Diet on a Budget: Real Costs and Real Results

The biggest objection to carnivore is cost. One person tracked his actual spending to test it — and found it went down, not up. Below is that budget, followed by real carnivore results.

A real carnivore budget: $66 a week

Austin Haedicke spent about $85 a week on paleo/keto with supplements and eating out. On carnivore, his total came to about $66 a week: ground beef ($35), eggs ($4), sardines ($4) and water ($5) in store, plus about $27.50 a week of liver, kidney, suet and roasts online.

What people actually ate — and lost

Ground beef and eggs carry most budget carnivore plans. Every story links to its original source.
