ZC and eggs

eggs

(Magnus Jensen) #1

I am allowed to eat eggs on a Carnivore diet? Anyone with experiences eating them/not eating them and effects?


#2

Yes, eggs are from the animal kingdom and consistent with carnivore eating. Personally, I experience some type of sensitivity to eggs (don’t feel well, bloat), so I avoid them. The key is to know what’s best for you eating only animal foods.


#3

I thought carnivore was meat only. Dairy is from an animal but is full of carbs… But I guess so is crab which is meat.


#4

No, it is NOT ā€˜meat only.’ It is animal kingdom–which includes fish and dairy. ā€˜Zero carb’ is a misnomer; we eat liver, etc. and don’t count carbs. Most avoid dairy, but that’s a personal choice.

If you are planning to eat carnivore, perhaps you should become more familiar with it.

Allteady eating carnivore, and have red what I can, there seems to still (obviously), to be some debate on what is allowed and not, which was why I asked my initial question and I am more interested in carnivores experiences with eggs rather than the silly ā€œam I allowed or notā€ debate

I’m not carnivore but I liked one one person’s motto (wish I could remember who): something has to die in order for them to include it in their diet.

I always thought eggs were dairy but they are not. Apparently, dairy is either the milk of mammals or something derived from the milk of mammals.

I’m not but thanks for the advice

I’m not sure that’s a great saying. Plants die when harvested, for at least some of them.

There’s a lot of dairy that has few carbs. When I eat dairy, that’s what I eat: cheeses, sour cream, cream, butter, ghee, etc. Sometimes, I’ll have yogurt, but I try to avoid that, as I always overeat with yogurt. But it’s also pretty low in carbs.

Carbs from animal sources almost don’t count. The ones present in meat, liver and eggs are not counted. I almost wouldn’t count the ones in dairy unless insulin resistant.

I thought it was more about telling people what to eat. :ballot_box_with_check:

Eggs are just immature chickens! :slight_smile:

Love me some good pasture raised chicken eggs. And just about perfect macros. I’m not zero carb, maybe a few meals are just because I like them that way, but eggs be good eats!

I know, some do have issues with them. But that’s with lots of foods. Thankful that I can enjoy without worry.

:slight_smile:


#12

Anything that comes from the animal kingdom that isn’t honey is fair game.


(Carl Keller) #13

Perhaps it’s not 100% true but I still like it for it’s omnimity. Maybe it would be more correct to say ā€œsomething has to bleed and dieā€?


(Bob M) #14

That’s a good one.


#15

Why would they not count?


(Chris) #16

Compare the body’s response to these carbs vs. plant-derived carbs such as sugar, corn syrup etc. There basically isn’t one.


#17

Are you saying I’m allowed to eat blue crab again? #BaltimoreNative


(Chris) #18

Um…I won’t say to eat or not eat anything.


#19

I’m going to say you told me I could :joy:
