If I eat steak every day...

[thecasuallift]

Speaking in terms of hyperbole, if I eat marbled steak and buffalo wings every day as my main meals (and stay in my calorie macros), what will be the difference between this diet's effect and someone who primarily gets their fat from sources such as olive oil, salmon, and seeds?

I ask because the past few days I've been eating "poorly" but skipping out on carbs to remain in keto (ketostix "verify" it). I just haven't had the time, and my primary sources of calories have been from pork rinds, quickly fried up steaks, buffalo wings, bacon, and such. I'm at about a 65-33-2 ratio, but I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong. Will I lose gains and struggle to lose bodyfat if I keep this up?

I guess my overarching question is if I maintain my calorie macros for my goal, and maintain a 65-33-2 ratio but mainly eat the foods mentioned above, what differences if any will there be from this and a "clean" keto diet?

Unless its grass fed, take fish oil. Also, veggies are important.

This.
eggs are quick as well and contain lots of nutrients

LOL. "clean"


Just make it fresh nutrient dense foods and you have virtually nothing to worry about.

I'm taking supplements, etc... So the general consensus is if I get my nutrients, it doesn't matter if it's pork rinds or salmon, as long as the ratio/calories are right? I'm oddly skeptical because this all sounds too good to be true. What if my fats aren't balanced 60-20-20 polyunsaturated-unsaturated-saturated like the stickied guide recommends?

Steak, 4 egg omelette and vegetables sauteed in olive oil has been my main meal for 6 weeks now. Occasionally, I'll change out the steak for gammon or roast pork.
The rest of my calories I get from cream in my coffee, almonds and peanut butter. No problem here; still lifting OK and losing weight.

you wouldn't get enough fat

"What if my fats aren't balanced 60-20-20 polyunsaturated-unsaturated-saturated like the stickied guide recommends?"
unsaturated fats consist of both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated
eating a lot of meat will give you lots of polyunsaturated and saturated fat, which is great, but a lot of polyunsaturated fat will take you farther into being omega-6 dominant--which is not good. substituting some of the poly for mono, and also adding fish oil will be beneficial.

getting most of your fat from meat is great, but there is always more protein than fat in meat, and you need a lot of fat for this diet to work at it's best.
so consider recalculating you protein/fat intake and substituting some of the meat (oh god almighty i said it) if you're eating lbs of meat a day, with other sources of protein that have more fat than protein (full fat cheeses, nuts, oils, butter, etc.) just a slight change will increase your fat intake, but it will not take away from your protein at all.

Your an idiot...
I told you to stop quoting me with knowledge that sucks...

Eggs and almonds are pretty much the perfect keto food.
Cucumbers help to keep you full and have a zero calorie effect.
Please never quote me again with knowledge based out of a third grade class.
