The short answer
Pack two lunches: a hot container (slow-cooked mince or chicken thighs) and a cold container (biltong, hard-boiled eggs, beef jerky).
Keep a shaker of electrolytes at your desk. Hydration is the most common reason for the mid-afternoon slump.
When colleagues ask, keep it simple: 'I eat meat, drink water, and feel better than I have in years.' Don't evangelise.
The carnivore lunchbox is the unsung hero of workplace consistency.
1. Slow-cooked mince + beef fat
Make a batch on Sunday. Portion into microwave-safe containers. Reheat 2-3 minutes on high.
2. Cold boerewors slices + biltong
Slice leftover boerewors thick. Pack with a small bag of biltong. Zero reheating required.
3. Crispy chicken thigh + salt
Roast on Sunday, portion bones-in. Cold chicken thighs taste better than cold chicken fillets.
4. Bone broth in a thermos
Freeze broth in a 500ml thermos in the morning. By lunch it's liquid and warming.
5. Liver paté (if you're brave)
Pan-fry 200g liver in beef fat with salt, blend with more fat. Spread on... nothing. Carnivore flex.
