Calculate exact fat-to-protein ratios (1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1 by weight and energy), daily meat ounce requirements, and ketone index targets on an animal-based diet.

Master Rule: On an exclusive carnivore diet, protein provides amino acids for tissue synthesis while animal fat provides metabolic energy. Target a 70% to 80% fat-to-protein calorie split for sustained energy.

Precision Master Protocol

  1. 1
    Calculate protein requirements at 0.8g to 1.0g per pound of target lean body mass.
  2. 2
    Multiply protein grams by your target fat ratio to calculate required dietary fat grams.
  3. 3
    Choose marbled cuts like Ribeye, Chuck Roast, Denver Steak, and 75/25 Ground Beef as daily staples.
  4. 4
    Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of rendered pasture-raised suet tallow to leaner cuts like NY Strip or Filet to hit target fat ratios.
