what a yummy day

today was another excellent day :)

bfast: watermelon
lunch: 4 mangoes, 10 fresh dates, 1 cuke, 150 grams oakleaf lettuce
supper: 7 kiwi, strawberries, 5 kumquat, 1 cuke, 150 grams of oakleaf lettuce

i made sure my mangoes were nice and ripe...they tasted like honey! the dates were so fresh and moist they were like caramel. who knew fruit could taste this good?!

a lot of people say that it's too hard or too compicated to live off of fresh fruits and leafy greens. it's only as hard or as complicated as you make it. one thing that has really helped me is to be absolutely sure that i'm getting suficient calories. without enough fuel, cravings and other problems pop up...but being sure to eat enough should take care of any troubling issues. i'm still taking some time to get used to the large volume of food i need to eat...

and now that i've started running again i need to be eating more. so, i'm eating more calories and feeling really good!

today's totals:
calories = 2,021
ratio calories/protein/fat = 90/5/5
protein = 34.5g
fiber = 55.5g
carbs = 534.5g
fat = 11.2g

kumquats


this was my first time trying kumquats. i'm trying to get my hands on any new fruit i can-it's such a treat to discover a new fruit :) they have tangy, sour flesh and a pleasantly surprising sweet skin.
