Having been a vegan and preached that, I'm all out of preaching juice. I'll leave advice to experts. I try to share my experiences though when other are curious.

I did very strict carnivore for a year quite awhile ago. I found a lot of benefit in it. I'd probably go back if it weren't so inconvenient. I love the simplicity.

What specifically did you find inconvenient? Not trying to deny that it can be inconvenient, I'm just curious what it was.

For me - grocery shopping is way more convenient. Meeting people for coffee is still fine - I still do coffee. Dinner at restaurant - yes, you're limited in where you can go. An extended stay at a friend's house, which I have coming up - yep, I'm trying to figure out how best to handle it. I have some extended travel coming up in summer, with no cooking facilities - not sure how that will work.

not sure how long or where...but I take frozen burger patties (cooked) with me, and thaw as needed, if you have a cooler or refrigeration.

Also use these for longer trips https://carnivorebar.com/ Just beef and tallow (pemmican) but they make them with salt and honey added which i like. 420 calories each and 35g saturated fat

If you have access to McDonalds, you can ask for the individual beef patties for $1 each (I usually get 12)

I've actually done the McDonalds thing, just ordering plain patties, I was shocked that it worked! They're surprisingly tasty, with some salt.

So have I. My favorite patties are from in-n-out. Next best is Wendy's.

You usually have to go in person to make weird orders like this at fast food restaurants.

I never thought of this! I wonder if Five Guys would give me just a patty for a couple bucks?

I had the hardest time doing this at Five Guys, but that was a few years ago so it might be different now.

I've bought patties at McDonalds twice. The first time, the staff were very confused. The guy at the cash register had to call a manager over, to show him how to order it. Then I was asked MULTIPLE times by the employees doing the cooking in the back, whether I just wanted them plain, without onions. Seriously, like 3 times. Then...I got them with onions. But hey, it still worked.

The second time I went through the MCD drive through, and used what may be the magic words "I'd like to order from the a-la-carte menu". I ordered my patties, asked for some salt packets, they tucked in knife and fork for me without my asking, and I was on my merry way.
