The #1 Carnivore Breakfast that Helped Me Lose 100 Pounds
In a Nutshell
The Power Bowl—beef, butter, bacon, and eggs—is the #1 carnivore breakfast that helped lose 100 pounds, reverse congestive heart failure, and overcome depression after 1,000 days on the diet, eaten as one massive daily meal. Use premium grass-fed ground beef, high-quality eggs (ideally home-raised), and well-seasoned cast iron skillet: cook bacon first, add beef and scrambled eggs (whisk extra for fluff), finish with butter and electrolyte salt. Tips include preheating pan hot with tallow for non-stick eggs, sourcing clean meats like from Independence Arc Farms, and simple cast iron maintenance with beef tallow.

Revisiting the world famous Power Bowl, the number one meal on Carnivore. A big huge hearty meal consisting of four items: beef, butter, bacon, and eggs. Today adding a fifth 'B': a blizzard outside. Stuck in the house with six family members. Making the largest power bowl ever in a huge cast iron skillet: bacon, eggs, butter, ground beef.
Using the gigantic cast iron skillet (distinguishing from the baby one). Goal: heaping with beef, butter, bacon, eggs. Start with bacon.
Weather in Wisconsin: thunderstorms to snow, hail, endless snow, under blizzard advisory, all roads closed. Went to the chicken coop yesterday. Tip #1: Get the best eggs you can afford. Used cheapest grocery store eggs 99% of the time over 3 years on Carnivore. Get the best beef: using grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef from Independence Arc Farms (ships anywhere in US, friends of the channel, nice fat content, delicious). Get the best bacon; can use pork belly from Costco (super clean).
Cut bacon and put in cast iron skillet to start seasoning it. Cast iron trick for eggs: Must be well-seasoned. Use tallow to season (high smoke point, doesn't go rancid like oils). To prevent eggs sticking: get pan hot (4-5 minutes preheat; large skillet has huge heat mass). Throw in bacon (hear sizzle). Can do everything in one skillet: bacon first, pull out, then ground beef, mix with eggs. But doing ground beef simultaneously since starving.
Preheat smaller pan for ground beef. Carnivore ground beef falls apart by touch. Grass-fed, grass-finished is dark color (vs. neon pink grocery store beef, which indicates something wrong). Grocery store beef still better than standard American diet.
Showing golden yellow eggs from own chickens ($1,000-$2,000 a piece, biased). Chickens on proper diet: forage insects, no grains, supplemented with insects in winter (expensive, lots of work).
Trick for scrambled eggs: Extra whisking to fluff air in. Go longer than you think; use a tool.
Reheating undercooked rare New York strip steak (smoked earlier) in air fryer on broil (6 minutes, check/flip). Avoids microwave; brings to medium. Adding to power bowl. Eats one meal a day as big carnivore after chores/yard work in blizzard.

Bacon done (some crispy pieces ok). Mix in ground beef. Turn pan off to cool (super hot). Add butter and salter electrolyte salt at end. Jen sometimes cooks eggs separate; prefers incorporating scrambled eggs into meat for better integration.
Clean cast iron: paper towel for chunks. For dirtier pans, hot pan under steaming hot water (hot on hot), brush (not sanitizing). Then apply thin layer beef tallow (high smoke point, doesn't rancid like seed oils). Spread on hot pan for shine and seasoning.
Add butter to finish (beef, butter, bacon, eggs). Sometimes cold butter on side with steak. Takes some Eluterai yogurt (saves for girls). Steals bacon pieces. Finish with salter electrolyte salt.
Non-carnivore would eat tiny portion; plenty left. Gets mix of ground beef, egg, bacon. Family eats this all the time. 1,000 days carnivore, down 100 lbs since heaviest, overcame depression, reversed congestive heart failure, feels incredible on proper human diet. This defines proper human diet.
