This is a full 7-day carnivore diet meal plan for beginners, with every meal weighed in grams. Each day comes to about 1,560 to 1,780 calories, 136 to 176 g of protein and under 10 g of carbs. The food is what you already find at any Cypriot or Greek butcher and fish market: paidakia, pork souvlaki without the pitta, kleftiko, sardines, sea bass, octopus, eggs and halloumi.
Every meal is a recipe from the DietSync app, so you can log the same meals and see the same macros. Below the plan you'll find carnivore breakfast ideas, a shopping list, how to scale the plan to your calories, and the risks to know before you start.
The carnivore diet is a way of eating built only on animal foods: meat, fish, seafood, eggs and, in the version most beginners follow, some dairy such as butter and cheese. All plant foods are out, so carbs drop close to zero. It is the strictest form of low-carb eating, stricter than keto.
First the whole week at a glance, then pick a day to see the grams for every meal.

Breakfast is where most people get stuck without toast or cereal. These four are in the plan and take under 15 minutes:

Your calories depend on your weight, height, activity and goal. Work yours out with the DietSync calculators, then adjust the plan:
New to low-carb? Start with the 7-day keto diet plan for a week, then move to this one. The switch is much gentler that way.
In the first one to two weeks many people feel tired or get headaches, cramps and changes in digestion. Most of it comes from losing water and salt as your carb stores drop, plus your gut getting used to no fibre. To make it easier:
Carnivore is easy at a taverna. Order paidakia, souvla, kleftiko or grilled fish and ask for no chips and no bread. At a souvlaki shop, ask for a portion of skewers with no pitta, no salad and no sauce.
Grilled Lamb Chops (Paidakia)
588 kcal, 49 g protein, 0 g net carbs, 42.4 g fat
Slow-Roasted Lamb Kleftiko

There is very little long-term research on all-meat diets, so treat this as a short experiment, not a forever plan. The main things to watch:
Talk to your doctor before you start if you have diabetes or take medication for blood sugar or blood pressure, if you have kidney disease, high cholesterol, heart disease or gout, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you've had problems with disordered eating.
All 15 recipes in this plan are in the DietSync app, with the same macros. Set your calorie and protein goals, log each meal in one tap, and see your protein, fat and carbs for the day as you go. Eating out? Snap a photo with the AI meal scanner, included in every plan.
Meat, fish, seafood and eggs. Most beginners also keep butter and cheese. All plant foods are out: fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
Yes. Eggs are a staple, and most beginners keep butter and cheese. Strict versions drop dairy.
It can. Most people eat less because protein keeps them full. The first kilos are often water as carb stores drop; fat loss still comes from eating fewer calories than you burn.
If you train, about 1.6 to 2.2 g per kg of body weight a day. This plan gives 136 to 176 g a day.
Salt your food, drink plenty of water and ease in over a week. Starting from a keto plan for a week helps.
There is little long-term research. Talk to your doctor first if you have diabetes, kidney or heart problems, high cholesterol or gout, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you've had problems with disordered eating.
