Understand discipline and consistency
Discipline in Carnivor describes recorded participation in your routine. A streak is a count of consecutive qualifying days, not a judgment about how you ate or whether your body made progress.
What counts toward a streak?
A day qualifies when you have at least one completed meal log or a recorded fasting session overlaps that day. An active fasting session can count as well as a finished one. The calculation uses the timezone recorded for your account.
There is no Carnivore Score threshold, carbohydrate limit, protein requirement, or minimum fasting duration in this streak calculation. Adding a meal to a plan does not qualify by itself; it is still a plan until you log it.
How consecutive days are counted
If today qualifies, Carnivor counts backward through qualifying days starting today. If today does not qualify yet but yesterday did, it counts backward from yesterday. An unfinished day does not automatically end the streak at the start of the morning.
When neither today nor yesterday qualifies, the current streak is zero. A gap between qualifying days breaks that consecutive run. The longest streak describes the best uninterrupted run in the applicable history, rather than the total number of days you have ever used the app.
A fast crossing midnight can qualify more than one local date. A session ending exactly at midnight does not overlap the following date just because that date appears in the timestamp.
Meal logging and discipline are separate
Nutrition logging consistency counts dates with recorded meals. Discipline also accepts fasting days. This means a calendar of meal logs and a discipline streak can show different counts without either being incorrect.
Carnivore Score is separate again: it describes the animal-food calorie share of classifiable recorded foods. A day can qualify for discipline without having a nutrition score, and a scored day does not prove you recorded every meal.
Reading a historical consistency percentage
Historical discipline adherence compares qualifying days with eligible completed days in the range. Today is excluded from that completed-day denominator. For example, three qualifying days across five completed dates gives 60% adherence.
That percentage describes what was recorded, not what happened off-screen. A missing log can mean you did not use the app on that day; Carnivor cannot infer your unrecorded meals or fasting routine.
Keep the record useful
- Log meals you actually ate and record fasts you actually followed.
- Review gaps when you look back, rather than interpreting an incomplete day as a failure.
- Use the streak as an easy way to notice your routine. Let your next recorded day be a fresh starting point when there is a gap.
There is no need to extend a fast or invent a meal solely to change a streak. Accurate records make your nutrition and fasting history more useful than a perfect-looking count.
