Introduction

Animal based diet plans are inspired by the animal kingdom, with deeper thoughts on balancing nutrition and satisfaction, explaining why animals eat the way they do. The benefits of including a mix of meats, poultry, seafood, and eggs into your dinner rotation are many — protein is after all the most satiating macronutrient and it offers up some vital vitamins and minerals.

In this article, I discuss an all-meat diet in more detail and give some dinner ideas that can help everybody find something they enjoy. Covering both traditional poultry and more exotic game meats, this list offers a wide variety of those seeking to diversify their animal protein cooking.

Importance of Animal-Based Diets for Dinner

Diets based on animal-derived ingredients have long been praised for offering complete and high-quality protein needed for muscle growth, repair, and overall health. Animal proteins are what we call a ‘complete’ protein source which means they contain all the amino acids necessary for our body.

Furthermore, animal proteins are also high in quality protein and contain essential nutrients for energy metabolism (vitamin B12), oxygen transportation (iron) physical performance, immune health, and brain development. Including different animal proteins in dinner provides a full dose of nutrients to maintain health.

Advantages of Including Animal Proteins in Our Meals

In addition to being more than just muscle-building blocks, all of these animal proteins serve critical roles in many other functions. Such as hormones, enzymes, and neurotransmitters. Including animal proteins such as chicken, beef, pork, and seafood in meals helps provide a complete source of all these essential nutrients.

Not only that, but different types of meat provide you with pros and cons nutritionally speaking; red meats supply an abundance of iron whereas poultry offers more lean protein. Cognitive function cannot develop without a healthy heart and for that, seafood that contains omega 3 is your savior. In that sense, an animal-based diet is quite flexible and can be restrictive to varying degrees depending on one’s dietary preferences.
