I am just curious if this seems a bit much for one meal. This is what I like to eat for breakfast.

1/2 cup raisins
1-2 egg yolk
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 orange
1 banana
1 avocado
It comes to about 1000 calories

thanks

1000 kcal in one meal is too much indeed
it is much better to spread it more
that prevents the storage of new bodyfat, and prevents too much fluctuating blood sugar levels

Hi Wai
So I am kinda confused. I don't eat ANY munch food, so I thought that your body won't store new body fat when you eat only raw food-because you simply WON'T eat more than you need. I also thought you could eat as much as you wanted of anything on the sample diet.
Is it just that we can eat as MUCH as we want, but in small meals throughout the day??
So instead of 3-4 meals, it should be like 6-7 meals?
Thanks [Smile]

true, but is also says that you need to eat much more meals a day
You may indeed need that 1,000 kcal at that point, especially when your muscle glycogen depots are empty
Naturally, you wount feel like eating 1,000 kcal from fruits in one sitting, but if you are so used to eating only 3 meals a day, you have to, in order to ingest sufficient energy.
So, yes, then your body needs that energy.
The more meals a day, the more sure that you wount store any new bodyfat

yes, it should be at least 6 to 7 meals a day
Have you never felt tired in between meals?
