USEFUL INFORMATION
What is the Carnivore Diet?
The Carnivore Diet is arguably not a 'diet' as such, but a lifestyle - one that involves the consumption of animal-based products, with a focus on consuming animal-derived fats and proteins, over carbohydrates.
The Carnivore Diet is an 'elimination diet', where commonly known foods that may be irritable or inflammatory to many, are eliminated and the focus is primarily on the consumption of ruminant meat, with other meats, fish, eggs, dairy and even fruit and honey included in some variations of the diet.
With the focus on fats and proteins over carbohydrates, the carnivore diet is naturally high fat and low carbohydrate, meaning the body will transition into 'ketosis', a process that allows the body to switch to using fat as the primary fuel source (over glucose) which has many benefits, specifically fat loss and many types of healing (find out what the carnivore diet has healed for me).

Different foods on different types of carnivore diet
The 'carnivore diet' is not a fixed diet for all. There are different variations of the diet that may be better suited to different people, usually depending on your own body as well as considerations such as levels of physical activity. Some may wish to go 'Strict Carnivore' which would consist of purely ruminent meat (usually beef), alongside salt and water, whereas others may choose 'Animal Based' which is primarily meat, eggs, dairy and other foods that come from animals, but with the addition of some non animal-based foods that are higher in carbohydrates such as honey and fruits.

Should you consume In-N-Out Protein Style Burger on the carnivore diet?
I am a firm advocate for self-experimentation to see what works best for you as an individual. This way you know first hand what suits your body's needs.
For me, on my personal carnivore journey - I began with classic carnivore. I felt great and the improvement to my mental clarity (and many other benefits) was significant, however, I found that I lost weight and some muscle and struggled to maintain a weight I felt and looked better at.
I later introduced a little milk, some fruits such as dates and berries and also honey and maple syrup (in moderation) which helped with energy levels and facilitated the readdition and maintenance of the weight and muscle mass that I feel more comfortable at.
Bearing in mind that I do exercise 6 days per week, I believe that for me - the addition of a few higher-carb foods on the animal-based carnivore diet is beneficial.
Of course, some foods (highly processed, refined sugar-based foods) should be avoided if you are looking to optimise your health.
I think it is important to not be too rigid and do what is best for you, whilst using the above as a guide and the consideration of In-N-Out Protein Style Burger is something you need to think about on a personal basis, depending on your goals.
