Carnivore Satiation

Meaning he is full before hitting his target protein/fat macros?

If that's the case, here's some ideas:

1. Swap out leaner cuts with fattier cuts (ex: replace sirloin for chuck) - he'll be able to consume more calories for similar volume.

2. If he can tolerate it, adding raw dairy to meals can be a great way to get in more calories (usually recommend the opposite of this to those trying to lose weight, as dairy can easily add up calorically and is not as satiating).

3. Add a meal. If he's eating OMAD or 2MAD currently, see if he can go for a 3rd meal at some point (I know this is not necessarily ideal for fasting windows, but one must consider what the main goal is right now).

4. Go for ground meat more often, ideally a higher fat % grind. Having to cut through and chew steaks is more work than eating ground meat, which some of the 'chewing' aspect is already done for you. A higher fat % grind, just like the fattier cuts, will allow him to get more calories in for the same volume of food.

5. Duck eggs? They're larger than chicken eggs, containing a bit more fat/protein per egg. Could be an idea (similar volume).

6. Try adding raw sources of fat -- easy way to add extra fat into the diet with adding copious amounts of rendered fat (ex: beef suet, iberico pork fat, beef trimmings)

As a whole, I'd argue most people are more satiated when coming to carnivore. I don't know that it's necessarily part of the transition, but he may find in time he's able to "put down" more food as his body starts to utilize all the nutrients (assuming he's remaining active). Curious to see how this goes for him!

Thanks so much! Yes, he’s struggling getting in all his macros because he’s so full. Will try some of these suggestions. Appreciate the in depth input!
