Carnivore Diet Survival Guide for Korean BBQ

Korean BBQ is a meat lover's paradise, but navigating the menu on a strict carnivore diet can be tricky. Hidden sugars in marinades, unwanted vegetable oils, and carb-laden side dishes lurk everywhere. Here’s how mm food app turns Korean BBQ into a safe, stress-free feast for carnivore dieters.

Why Korean BBQ Challenges Carnivores

Traditional Korean BBQ uses marinades packed with sugar (like in galbi), soy sauce (which often contains wheat), and sesame oil. Even seemingly safe meats might be cooked in vegetable oils, while banchan (side dishes) are overwhelmingly plant-based or sugary. Dining blindly risks accidental cheats.

How mm food App Saves Your Feast

  1. Instantly Translate Menus Snap a photo of the Korean menu—mm food translates it to your language instantly. No more guessing what "Yangnyeom" (sweet-spicy sauce) means.
  2. AI-Powered Carnivore Filter Set your dietary preferences to "Carnivore" in the app. Our AI scans dish descriptions, flagging hidden non-carnivore ingredients like:
    • Sugars, starches, or grains in marinades
    • Vegetable/seed oils used for cooking
    • Sauces with additives or sweeteners
  3. Get Safe Order Recommendations The app highlights carnivore-safe choices:
    • Unmarinated Meats: Look for sogogi (beef) or dwaeji (pork) labeled "gu-i" (grilled) sans sauce. Opt for salted pork belly (saeu-geopsal) or beef brisket (chadolbagi).
    • Seafood: Grill plain shrimp or squid.
    • Avoid: Galbi (marinated short ribs), bulgogi, and anything "yangnyeom" or "gochujang."
  4. Customize with Confidence Add personalized restrictions (e.g., "no seed oils" or "beef-only"). The app will update recommendations in real-time.

Pro Tips for Korean BBQ Success

  • Skip the Banchan: Politely decline side dishes to avoid temptation.
  • Grill Plain, Eat Well: Stick to unseasoned cuts cooked without oil.
  • Double-Check Sauces: Use mm food to scan sauce labels—most contain sugar.

With mm food, you’ll savor smoky, succulent meat without compromise. Download it now—turn every Korean BBQ night into a carnivore victory!
