Thats not a lot of calories really. Most Americans, if they ate 1.5 of those watermelons in a day, would be getting less calories than they are in their everyday diets.

The size of the melons I've been getting (I can guesstimate pretty well because I've had to fill many gallon containers with the meat to take to work) put them somewhere around 2300 calories, according to fitday. I was eating 1 1/4 of those for most of my fast, and I haven't looked or felt better. >8)

Calories can be a useful guidepost in the beginning of eating raw, but as more time progresses and you learn to trust your body, you'll learn that a food is much more than just the amount of calories inside.

If your body compels you to eat 17 honeydew before it stops feeling good, then that is precisely the number you need to eat. The only "bad" thing to do would be to ignore your body's requests. =)
