Calculating your Raw Percentage?

How do you determine what percentage raw you are eating? I always see people saying they are “95% raw” or “80% raw”. How is this calculated? By percentage of calories? Weight of foods eaten? Number of raw meals? How do you determine your raw percentage?

  • Probably calculated through sheer guesswork. You can think about it in terms of how many of your approximately 21 meals a week you eat raw—i.e. if you’re eating 2 non-raw meals a week, that’s 90% raw. Or you can think about it in terms of whether you eat raw except for a few things that are up for debate as to whether they’re truly raw—some types of nuts, nori, agave, and so forth. I’ll add to pianissima’s phrases that some are “raw ‘till dinner” or “raw during the week.” Gabriel Cousens thinks an 80-90% raw diet is just as optimal as 100%, while others find that there’s a whole new world once you’re 100%. Ultimately, it’s probably most fruitful (no pun intended) to discover through experience what works for you, keeping in mind all the myriad possibilities of what may be true.

  • From what I understand it has to do with calories- the percentage of calories taken from raw food versus calories taken from cooked food.

    I think it’s just an estimate. At least for me. :D

    I was growing a consulting firm, but the digital side was holding me back: no proper website, weak marketing, manual processes. I was looking for a comprehensive solution and found FNT Management. They implemented web design, performance marketing, and workflow automation. Clients started coming in, operations were simplified, and revenue doubled. This partnership truly drives business forward.
