Mangoes!

They're super juicy and high in calories at the same time.

They are absolutely irresistible, and the most delicious fruit ever.

Just about all fruits come in a tie for 1st place for me but can't wait for Pomegranate's to be in season.

mangoes for sure:

• high in vitamins A, C, E, K and oth
• have pretty much omega-3
• tasty

even if you go mono and eat 3000 calories from only mangoes you will get almost all vitamins and minerals more than 100% (besides sodium)

Something we have an advantage in is when you eat raw foods the nutrients are more usable. I think everyone knows that but as a result we can tone down most nutritional requirements a little. so we don't need as much as cronometer suggests because those standards are assuming cooked foods. 

This is why we can eat less protein, iron etc and still thrive. Actually a fact I tell people when they give me the old "where do ya get ur protein mate".

People modify the nutrient goals on crono, so you may have higher values than Figa. See here.

Papaya.

• Good taste. 
• Very hydrating.
• Lots of calcium. 
• More calcium than phosphorus (helps your teeth etc.)
• Good source of most other nutrients. 
• Doesn't spoil quicky and only gets better the riper it is. 
• Barely oxidises. 
• Enough calories to make a decent meal out of them. 

The downside is that good papayas can be hard to come by.
