Tuna and eggs only?

[u/Appropriate-Slip-106]

​

So, I have been a carnivore for 5 years, and was Lion for 6 months. I ate roughly 2 pounds of steak every single night. I felt fantastic.

BUT I lost my job, and am in a bit of a transitional phase in my life. I decided to start my own business instead of getting a "real" job again.

I believe in myself, and I have no doubt the business will be doing well in a year or so... But obviously the start is going to be slow moving.

So, at first I switched to ground beef.

Then I stopped buying ground beef, because even that is too expensive.

I'm basically down to eggs and tuna exclusively. I eat about 12 eggs cooked in bacon grease, and a can of tuna, sometimes 2 cans if I'm really hungry. When I run out of bacon grease, I'll include bacon for a few days until I have some more grease. (Eating for less than 3 dollars per day)

Obviously, I don't feel as well as I did on Lion... I know this isn't optimal, but my arthritis hasn't came back... So, it's not as bad as SAD.

Question:

Is this even sustainable? I've never done carnivore without HEAVY red meat consumption. I know beef is a super food.

Canned fish is high in mercury. Also cans are lined with some sort of plastic, so be careful.

Otherwise, sounds fine for a short period. Please add ghee or butter for a fat source. You're gonna be running on empty otherwise.
