single day today I'm going to be doing a budget carnivore diet grocery haul for
those of you who are new to my channel I actually live in Australia so the prices
I talk about are specific to here but in general all the foods I mentioned today
and all the tips are relevant no matter where in the world you are if you want
more tips on saving money on a carnivore diet I do have a few other videos on the
topic which I will link to at the end of this one and in the description box down
below so if you want more after you watch this video you can check those it
the first thing I have in my budget carnivore diet grocery haul is eggs
these are an absolute staple in my diet they are so versatile and so nutritious
plus they are really inexpensive you can buy a dozen eggs for three dollars and
fifty cents Australian which equals out to only thirty cents an egg these are
absolutely a staple if you are on a carnivore diet or on a keto diet or on
any diet eggs are such a superfood and no matter where you are in the world
they aren't too expensive you can eat them any time of day there's no rules
here super budget-friendly and you can add
these to any meal next up we have a canned fish again this is really
inexpensive and so nutritious cold water oily fish especially are
really high in omega-3s so that's fish such as salmon mackerel
sardines herring and anchovies what I have here is I have a tin of sardines
these are in spring water and I have a tin of mackerel that is in olive oil
where you can I would try to always buy your canned fish in spring water
often times the oils they are packed in our sunflower canola soybean all
extremely toxic you should not be consuming these oils if you can't find
spring water olive oil is the next best option tins like this only cost a dollar
or two each and something like this was $10 now if you are in Australia one of
the problems I find here is that it's really hard to find wild caught salmon
especially for a reasonable price and foods like this they're gonna last for
ages you can just keep these in your pantry you don't have to worry about
them going off or freezing them or anything like that yeah this one's best
before June 2022 so over two years and the next thing on my budget carnivore
diet shopping list is minced meat also known as ground me here I have a ground
beef and this is only $11 a kilo now before I go any further I just want to
pause a moment and talk about the difference between 100% grass-fed meat
and conventional meat this is a subject that is pretty polarizing in the
carnivore community but here's my take on it the nutritional difference between
the two is marginal 100% grass-fed meat is going to be higher in omega-3s it's
gonna have more CLA and be slightly higher in other vitamins and minerals
but like I said the difference is only marginal eating any type of
beef is better than eating no beef so buy whatever is in your budget if you
can afford 100% grass-fed beef then go for it
be my guest you are gonna get slightly better nutrition but it's not that big
of a difference and another thing I'm just going to mention before we move on
is that if you are concerned about there being higher omega sixes in conventional
beef the reason this is a concern and the reason you want to have a one-to-one
ratio between omega-3s and omega-6s is because both of these nutrients use the
same pathway in the body to be converted so if you are eating too many omega
sixes not very many Omega threes will be converted but this only matters if you
are consuming ala which is the type of Omega 3 that is the precursor to the
final nutrient if you are eating Omega 3 in its final converted form then you're
skipping this conversion process and the ratio between the two doesn't matter as
much most of the Omega 3 that is in beef
that's in lamb that's in other land mammals this is going to be ala and
needs to be converted and this is why the ratio matters when you are eating
Omega 3s in things such as mackerel sardines salmon you are getting DHA and
EPA it doesn't have to be converted and the ratio isn't as relevant so if you
are concerned about the ratio in your meat then I had some cold water oily
fish into your diet as well and next up we have roasts and larger cuts of meat
these are bigger cuts of beef lamb chicken pork that are usually less
expensive for example I have a whole roast chicken here this is $14 per kilo
this whole chicken came to be $8 I also have some beef short ribs these are $13
per kilo you can buy a lamb shoulder for $12 per kilo a beef blade roast for $12
per kilo as well and when you something like this yes you can eat it
right away but you're also gonna have lots of leftovers which you can have for
several days to come now depending on your palate you might find some of these
things on their own to be a bit bland honestly a good salt can make all the
difference in your cooking by a pink salt or a sea salt that isn't already
ground a big bag is usually gonna cost you less than $5 and use this generously
when you're cooking not only is it going to improve the taste but it's also going
to give you more sodium which we need more of when we are on any version of a
low-carb diet and if you do want to use more spices than just salt that is
totally fine for most people if you are really sensitive to plants if you are
struggling with autoimmunity though there are some spices that are better
than others anything that is a leaf is going to be your safest bet so basil
thyme dill sage chives garlic powder and paprika are also good
these are spices that are low in anti nutrients and for most people aren't too
inflammatory especially when you're only consuming trace amounts of them as you
are with spices now if you are not super sensitive to plants and you are doing
carnivore more for general health or for fat loss then you can probably include
more spices as well another tip to add some flavor is to add a little bit of
lemon or lime juice anyways guys that is all I have for you today if you have any
