Ketovore
Animal-based and very low carb: meat, eggs, butter, full-fat dairy.
Our macro split (share of calories)
- 30%

We lock Protein and Fat so the engine holds those targets while it adjusts the rest.
What it is
Ketovore sits between ketogenic and carnivore eating. It is animal-based and very low in carbohydrates, built around ruminant meat, eggs, butter, organ meats, and full-fat dairy, with only small amounts of plant food.
People choose it for simplicity and for an elimination-style approach that removes most plant foods, while keeping the fat-fueled metabolism of keto.
How Salt & Temper interprets it
Ketovore reshapes your recipe to roughly 30 percent protein, 65 percent fat, and 5 percent carbohydrates, at your recipe's current calorie level.
We anchor both protein and fat, because the animal-based profile depends on holding both. That uses our two-lock maximum, so carbs stay free and calories follow from the rest.
How we re-engineer your recipe
We favor ruminant meat, eggs, butter and tallow, organ meats, and full-fat dairy.
We minimize plants and keep any carbohydrate to small whole-food amounts, such as a little fruit or honey, rather than grains, starches, or refined sugar.
Good to know
- This is the most restrictive of the lifestyles. If you are new to it, the Low-Carb / Keto option is a gentler starting point.
- Because it removes most plant foods, pay attention to overall variety over time.
