Why Eggs for Carnivore?
Eggs are the second-most affordable carnivore protein after ground beef. At $3-5 per dozen for conventional and $6-8 for pasture-raised, they provide complete protein with all essential amino acids, vitamins A, D, E, K, and B vitamins, plus choline for brain health.
The yolk is where the magic happens. Don't skip it! The yolk contains 80% of an egg's nutrients including all the fat-soluble vitamins. Always eat the whole egg for maximum nutrition and satiety.
Are eggs allowed on carnivore?
Yes! While technically not "meat," eggs are animal-based and nutritionally complete. Most carnivores include eggs daily. They're especially great for adding variety and saving money.

Egg Buying Guide
- Conventional vs Pasture-Raised: Pasture-raised have 2x more omega-3s and vitamin E, but conventional eggs are still nutritious. Buy what fits your budget.
- Buy in bulk: Many stores sell 18-packs or even 5-dozen flats at significantly lower per-egg costs. Eggs last 3-5 weeks refrigerated.
- Orange yolks = better nutrition: Deeper orange yolks indicate higher nutrient content from outdoor foraging or quality feed.
- Test freshness: Place egg in water. Fresh eggs sink flat. Older eggs stand upright. Floating eggs are bad.
Cooking Eggs Perfectly
The secret to perfect eggs is low-and-slow with butter or bacon fat. Scrambled eggs cooked gently over low heat stay creamy and custard-like. High heat creates rubbery, tough eggs.
For fried eggs, use medium-low heat and plenty of fat. Cover the pan for over-easy eggs to cook the tops without flipping. Remove when whites are set but yolks are still runny for maximum nutrient absorption.
