I know there was a study, years back, which claimed that the Neanderthals ate only or mostly meats in their diet, but it seems to have been debunked by another, more recent study which showed them eating plants, which makes it unlikely that they were in ketosis.

Put this in the context of the Neanderthal as having the physique of our top athletes and thus needing about 4000 calories a day. This would have been a creature that was always hungry. The friend who told me of these recent findings has theorized that Neanderthals have left their mark in European folk memory as the trolls of our fairy stories: human-shaped, immensely strong, not too bright, ate people.
