I'm more herbivore than carnivore. But I still occasionally eat meat. When money allows. Meat is expensive. I'd make burgers all the time if I could afford it. My herbivore-ness is entirely financially based
But that isn't why I'm posting. Meat on dudes.
I eat beans almost exclusively. Because they're cheap protein and I like beans. Pinto beans specifically. I don't get tired of them. I sometimes eat them with rice. I sometimes eat them with chipped onion and fried cornbread. I sometimes mash them and make refried beans.
I love my beans. And my beans love me.
I found carnivore became cheap with pemmican. I make it out of the least costly cuts, and tallow is cheap
Eat the way you like, but don't feel this way is closed off due to cost
The old book "the fat of the land" reckoned an average person doing light work needs about 250g of pemmican a day, twice that for people doing heavy work. You get 250g out of 125g each of tallow and bone dry meat, which comes from ~420g of fresh beef and ~135g of un-rendered fat. I don't know what it costs for you but for me it's about $AU5 a day making a kilogram of pemmican per batch
Edited to remove suspect energy values.
I find myself sniping the discount meat in the supermarket, sometimes it goes for up to 50% off here. 100g of chicken will cost about 100 yen, and beef about 150 yen. I also eat a lot of eggs and ground beef, which is cheaper also. But psud's pemmican solution is even cheaper still.
