How the numbers work

Daily quantities assume one substantial carnivore meal per day plus breakfast eggs — about 0.9 lb of meat per person per day. Macros use USDA FoodData Central values for the listed cuts. Prices are US-average estimates from standard grocery stores; warehouse stores (Costco, Sam's Club) run 15 to 30% lower. The list is meant as a starting point — adjust quantities up for athletes or eaters on a bulk-focused plan.
