hello, could someone please give me a good list of raw food that is very high in calories. ive been told im too skinny (6’2”, 160 pounds [mind you, i weighed on some random cheapo scale at a wal-mart, so that may not be accurate]) and that i need to take in more calories. i personally dont think im too skinny, but my partner thinks so. So i’m going to try and eat more and take in more calories. normally on a day to day basis, i wake up and have limeade (juice from 1 lime OR 1 lemon, about 10 oz of spring water, about 2 tsp of raw honey, and 2 pinches of cayenne pepper), then a green smoothie (two big handfuls of mixed organic greens, 2 kale leaves, 1-2 oranges, 2 kiwis, 1 banana, 1 tbl of ground flax seeds, a little raw honey and some ice), then something else around dinner time, and then a fruit based smoothie with a TON of wheatgrass in it. is this not enough food? someone please tell me about some high calorie raw foods!

see, i do eat avocados and coconuts too. just not on a daily basis. and the prices on avocados are rediculous. in my cabinet i have walnuts, sunflower seeds, almonds (probably not raw), hazelnuts, and… i think thats it. i guess i need to make walnut taco meat and have some raw tacos. i guess i havent really been consuming much fat. though i havent minded the weight loss. i dont think raw fats actually make you fat though. i use to weigh around 225.i guess i’ll add more nuts and seeds in. and more avocados if i can afford it. and i love coconuts, i have about 1.5 coconut meat left. oh and as far as activity, at the moment, its little to none. its been way to cold out for me to go mountain biking or skating or anything. as soon as it gets warm out, i’ll be way more active again
i didnt start eating mainly raw until october because before that, i really couldnt. so during a detox period i may be lower in weight? interesting. i actually want to get some bee pollen and start working out to put on some bulk. money is a bit of an issue right now. although im sure bee pollen would last quite awhile. but i read on david wolfes site, www.sunfood.com, that bee pollen is known for building and defining muscles.
thanks pianissima! good information!! and thank you too, chilove
