Can someone give me examples of daily meals? Quantities and what type foods?

I can't speak for every one, but my daily meals go something like this=

breakfast= 2 fruits or 2c diced or chopped fruit, 8oz soy milk

snack= mega green juice, 1/2 c almonds

lunch= salad with fresh basil, olive oil and cilantro over lettuce, green pepper, cucumber, tomato, 1/4 avacado

snack= mega green juice,1/4 c granola

dinner= as many fresh veggies as I want to fill me up

snack= 8oz soy milk

I drink about 2 gallons of water, green tea or regular tea every day, also.

I tend to eat fruit throughout the day. In the evening, I like denser foods. Coconut smoothies recently. But today I am having a salad!

Here is my typical daily food intake:

Breakfast: a fruit smoothie -- 1/2 pineapple, 1 banana, 1 mango, handful of blueberries, a little fresh coconut water if I have a young coconut at home, water, and ice.

Snack: navel orange

Lunch: Green juice (about 24 ounces -- 3 apples, 4 carrots, 3-4 stalks of celery, about 6 or 7 leaves and stalks of kale, a knob of ginger

Snack: another orange, or a couple of handfuls of soaked nuts (spiced), or some dried fruit

Dinner: Usually a prepared raw dish (raw lasagna, raw tacos -- last night we had haiku burritos, so yum, wrapped in romaine leaves)

Dessert: Raw ice cream, or just fruit, or some frozen bananas whipped up into ice cream

If I find myself hungry at all throughout the rest of the day I may toss in an extra banana or an apple or something. I also, if I am feeling really hungry that day, will eat about 8 ounces of spiced raw nuts -- over a period of a couple of hours.

My other alternative breakfast (what I had today) is raw cereal (buckwheat, maple, vanilla, cinnamon crispies) and brazil nut milk (brazil nuts, water, vanilla, agave, and a hint of sea salt) with some fruit (a banana, some blueberries, etc.)

Breakfast:

2 or 3 glasses of fresh OJ

Snack:

3 or 4 bananas

Lunch:

5 (small) avocadoes or whatever fruit is in season

Snack:

3 or 4 apples

Dinner: 1/2 Watermelon or whole Canteloupe or Papaya

Snack: Grapes

do you guys find that you more or less "graize" all day? I do. I munch here and there, but my salads are all made a day ahead(just in case I get busy durring the day), so I jus t grab and go most of the time. I try to schedule regular meals, but it very seldom works out that way.LOLOL!

My experience:

-Fairly regular & rather small meals...about every 2 hours during the day.

-David Mason

I eat when hungry, which is can easily be more than three times a day. In the past I used to graze more, but more recenlty I find that the time intervals between my meals can be longer. A funny thing with raw foods is that often, as soon as I notice some pattern, it changes!

Yep! I eat something every 2 hours or so, too. There are day's that I almost forget to eat, though. y stomach doesn't growl like it used to. LOLOL! !

when cooked, I used to have to snack all the time - if I didn't I'd get that weak dizzy feeling - I was always 'starving'! but after adapting to the raw diet, I find that I can go a long time without feeling hungry. I think it was all the cooked carbs - bread, pasta etc - that made me need to eat all the time. Getting energy in the form of nice simple glucose seems a far more efficient way to eat.

For instance it's 2pm now and I haven't felt the need to eat anything yet today. (this isn't always the case - sometimes I have brek about 10am)

It depends on what you eat, of course. A substantial smoothie with fruit and greens for brek fills me up no problem. And adding some denser foods such as avo or sprouted seeds etc to a salad makes for a really satisfying dinner.

Is it ok to add 1/2 of an avacado to a salad every day, or is that too much or too often?

Luna, I hope it's okay -- I LOVE avocado and eat it whenever I can.

I was just wondering about the natural fat content! I think it's fine. I'm still dropping pounds, so I don't think it's hurting me. I use 1/2 of one in my lunch salad or lettuce wrap. whichever I choose to eat from day to day.

luna, that sounds fine! some days I eat tons of fat! other days I don't eat any. If you feel you need it, go right ahead - don't worry about any 'rules' (:

RULES!?!? WHAT RULES!?!? LOLOL! ! ! Jist Joshin'! ! !

Hee hee!

OH! CRAP !(pun intended) LOLOLOL! ! ! !

I sincerely appreciate your time for listing your meal plan. You guys are motivating me to get going with a better diet.

You'll be shocked at how much better you feel from day to day. You don't notice how badly you really feel, until you feel better. (that wasn't ment to be a "DUHHH" moment!!)
