The Cheap Carnivore Meals I Eat on Repeat
In a Nutshell
A carnivore diet veteran eats well for under $5 per meal by focusing on cheap ground beef and eggs over steaks, making 140 meatballs from a 10-pound sale tube for under 77 cents each and creating power bowls and bacon-cheese dishes under $3 per serving. Key hacks include buying fatty 80/20 or 73/27 ground beef for better value, ordering secret carnivore meals at chains like Red Robin for $6, and requesting unseasoned steaks at Texas Roadhouse to avoid sugar and margarine. Bulk buying like 10 New York strips at Costco saves $4 per pound, while chuck roast offers ribeye-quality taste at 71% less cost.

Starting at just 77 cents, this covers great carnivore meals eaten regularly with most around $5 or under. The video begins at Culvers before moving to an incredible 3-pound steak for over $90 on the secret menu at Texas Roadhouse.
The creator has been on the carnivore diet for about 4 years, which completely changed their life and solved all health problems by eating the right foods. Before this, they were 100 pounds overweight.
The main focus is on ground beef and cheese rather than steak, rib-eye, or expensive cuts of meat. A 10-pound tube of ground beef was purchased on sale to make 140 meatballs, with each meatball costing less than 77 cents and being the size of tennis balls. Most family members needed no more than two meatballs, while the creator ate three. Three tennis ball-sized meatballs cost less than $2.50 total.
The Power Bowl contains all macronutrients, fats, and proteins needed. It is cheap and delicious and provides energy. Tips include buying farm-fresh eggs when possible and buying good, thickly sliced bacon.
The family's favorite carnivore recipe costs less than $3 per serving. The recipe requires ground chuck with the fattier part. The gravy was left on longer and thickened quite a bit. The dish contains bacon, cheese, and crunch.
These foods helped through the busiest time working on the documentary 'Healing Humanity.' After 3 and a half years of traveling the world, it has been released. The creator is 82 years old. The documentary is available on Amazon for $3 with a link provided in the description.
The method involves breaking the egg inside the diameter, giving it a little shake, and cooking until done. The creator prefers crunchy egg yolks without the whites, noting the jagged edge as preferred.
The real trick to the patty is making it nice and round and thick with a small hole in the middle. Without the hole, the patty will puff up and become thick like a meatball when fried, but with the hole it stays nicely even. The creator can eat 12 patties.
The preferred ground beef is 80/20 or 73/27. It is actually cheaper to buy fatty meat. At $5.50, this meat constitutes the majority of what is eaten on a carnivore diet, along with store-bought ground beef and eggs. Two and a half pounds of minced meat were eaten on the day of recording.
A tomahawk ribeye steak was purchased from Walmart weighing about 3 pounds for $16. The creator tries to buy everything from neighbors when grass-fed options are available, though sometimes only minced meat is available.
At $5.99 per pound, chuck roast costs about the same as ground beef. The chuck roast is called the ribeye of the poor and is 71 percent cheaper than regular ribeye. Three chuck roasts can be purchased for the price of one ribeye and may be even tastier.
At Red Robin, a secret carnivore meal can be ordered for $6 by knowing how to order it. The order included a burger for $2.99, blue cheese for $1.99, bacon for $1.99, and an extra burger patty for $2.99, plus a $10 tip.
Pre-cut New York strip steak from Costco costs more per pound. Buying in bulk saves about $4 per pound. Ten thick-cut New York strip steaks were purchased for $11 each, making the cost $10 per pound, which is $4 less than buying pre-cut steak.
When ordering at Smashburger, six patties are requested instead of the standard amount. If refused the a la carte menu, the alternative is ordering six patties at $2.50 each for $15 total.
When buying ribeyes, all cost the same per pound regardless of which one is chosen, but they are not all the same. The spinalis part is the best portion, running all around the ribeye. This is the most valuable and delicious part, almost like Wagyu meat. Some store-bought ribeyes lack this part entirely or have it very thin.
A huge 3-pound ribeye was ordered at Texas Roadhouse to celebrate 3 years of following a carnivore diet. The 24-ounce steak base price was $44.99 with $2 added for each additional ounce, totaling $93 for the 3-pound steak.
Every steak at Texas Roadhouse is fried flat-top with spices containing sugar and uses margarine. Both can be avoided by requesting "don't season and don't fry on a flat top." The 3-pound ribeye was one of the best ever eaten.
The Texas Roadhouse ribeye experience was described as amazing, with the creator stating it was definitely one of the best ribeyes ever eaten.
