Notes:

  • the main meal can be either morning or evening – in this example it is in the morning.
  • only change the menu each week if stools are ok, if not, keep to the same weeks menu until they are ok, before proceeding.
  • when introducing any new meat or organ meat, test with thumbnail pieces first, and check stools before slowly increasing.
  • when introducing egg, test with a small amount of beaten egg first, and check stools before increasing to a whole egg. Eggs can be served whole, and used as a complicated meal where they have to figure out how to get at the contents. Sometimes you have to make a tiny hole in the shell so they can smell the egg inside and figure it out.

Remember, you’re aiming for:80% meat, sinew, ligaments, fat, can also include heart meat
10% edible bone
5% liver
5% other organ meat
So for 375g of food a day this equals:

300g meat, sinew, ligaments, fat, heart meat
37.5g edible bone
18.75g liver
18.75g other organ meat

These measurements don’t have to be exact, just to bear in mind.
