• Hi everybody! Thanks for the responses. I'll try to address them each in the morning (trouble sleeping tonight! ) I'm sorry if I seemed grouchy last night - I was! I get really negative when I'm grouchy.

• Before this I was vegetarian (sometimes vegan) for 20 years. I've been raw on and off for 5 years - and this is what always gets me - even when I was just vegetarian, I had a hard time getting enough calories.

• That may be the quick & dirty answer, but won't really help. That's basically what I been eating, and by 6 or 8 pm, after only managaing to consume only about 600 by that time, I give up and eat something fatty like an avocado or nut cheese. I'm…

• Sometimes I'll use Flax oil, but it's still oil. Whenever I try a recipe, I start with about a half to a thrid of the oil. Usually it's no problem, and the richness and flavor are still there.

• Thanks for the tip. I already loved nuts online, so I just went and ordered some marcona almons. I can't wait to try them!
