You need to experiment for yourself to see what makes you feel the best.

First ione should get used to eating raw meat. Then hunger will def. tell you how much.

Some here eat one meal a day. I liek to eat at night, if I eat shortly after I awaken I feel sluggish. I feel best being active then relaxing at night with a good sized meal.

I found some 600 grams of raw animal stuff a day seems on average what I need lately.

I eat until full.

So no fixed amount.

The feeling of being full on raw meat is different from cooked meat.  It just tells me to stop eating.

Eat as long as you're hungry, but try to avoid more than 2 meals a day to let you digestive system rest for about 15 hours daily.

For people with fast metabolisms, eating high amounts of fat and protein and minimizing carb is beneficial. Carbohydrates can speed up your already too high metabolism which was something I suffered from.

Also my energy is very good and my skin is clearest when I keep carb to a maximun of 2-3 cups per day. Depends on the fruit, bananas are on the dense side in calories, watermelon is not. So you have to go with hunger.

1 U.S. "legal" cup    =   240   millilitres

Finally I searched this 'cup'. I didn't realise it was a proper measurement, I guess it makes as much sense as 'foot'. I had thought it was a stupid measurement since cups can be all different sizes.

Eat as long as you're hungry, but try to avoid more than 2 meals a day to let you digestive system rest for about 15 hours daily.

Someone can eat even one meal a day, but when he/she combines a lot of different kinds of foods, animals products and plants, then the digestion would be very long, ergo the rest shorter.

My typical day usually looks like this:

Breakfast: 1 lb. raw wild-caught salmon or mackerel or 1 lb. raw grass-fed beef liver
Lunch: 1 lb. lamb chops or 1 lb. raw wild-caught salmon or mackerel+ 12 wild-caught oysters
Dinner: 5-10 eggs + Plantain/Banana or Berries or 1 lb. raw wild-caught salmon + root veggies or squashes or a tuber

I try to vary my meats but my staples are wild-caught salmon/mackerel, lamb, beef liver, eggs, chicken and lamb.

I don't snack but if I do it's usually chewing on something crunchy like bell peppers, celery or coconut meat ( I enjoy the oil and the creamy taste but I spit out the fibrous meat because its extremely bad for digestion and contains a lot of salicylates as well as phytic acid)
