When bananas are not ripe, you can eat Medjool dates, about 66 calories each (24 g). I frequently add two or three to my smoothies.

@ punchxyka

you can store some ripe fruit in the freezer, and try to make smoothies, it's easier to get enough calories in ;)

We don't have sweet potatoes in stores. :( So I can cook white potatoes then?

I'm buying bananas almost everyday. Today I have none of them ripe.. :(

If you buy bananas in bulk, you may get better prices but will need to start eating as some just start to get ripe, and perhaps others over ripe. Otherwise buy them every other day and then wait for a few bunches to come on and keep the process rolling.

Sweet potatoes have more calories than the regular kind and are good to eat raw too.

Potatoes, I think.

If there is no enough fruit,  what food should I cook to get a lot of calories? Which is better for digestion?Rice, potatoes, millet, qunioa, veggies?

I have really big problems with calories. There is no enough ripe fruit to eat!!! All stores have unripe grapes, tangerines, oranges,...

Bananas I must buy and wait to rippen, some of them become very bad and fermenting. 

Apples - I can only eat 200g at on time....

I'm starving. :(

No worries, as long as you know what you're shooting for and using a calorie tracker at least once a week to understand what's what and you are increasing a few bites per day of the highest calorie fruits to get where you want to be, you will get there in no time.  Ripeness is extremely important for sure! Food combining too!

I read all this before and I know I should eat more. I'm trying every day. But I find out, if I count calories I'm stressed out(stress affects my digestion) because of this and then I eat less. If I don't count calories I eat more. I see this by volume of fruit. Second thing is unripe fruit.

Hi punchxyka,

 

Feeling full is only one way to tell if you have had enough to eat when following 811, which can be misleading when coming from a background of eating high fat, processed, cooked food and/or calorie restricting or eating disorders.  As a matter of fact there have been people who under ate for months trying to follow 811 only to discover they had been under eating and experienced negative side effects such as low energy, hair falling out, adrenal fatigue.  You might even feel great under eating for a while as your adrenals keep you going.  It is truly important to use an objective measure like chronometer or nutridiary to track both your calorie intake and fat intake.

 

A.  How do i know im not eating enough calories from fruit?

1. Cooked food starts to look and smell good.

2. Cooked food looks more then the toxic, second rate slop it really is.

3. Your energy, power, strength start to go downhill.

4. Your attitude starts to suck. You just want to rip apart people and scream at them with frustration.

5. You start to question this whole raw gig.

12. You start blending maccadamias with dulse and spread it on 1inch thick flax crackers you made at 3am in the morning.

13. You wake up at night and steal your housemates fruit. If your housemate is called banana guns and he told you not to eat the papaya, and you did, you aint eating enough fruit cals.

14. You start to want to take fancy herbs and experiement with other diets.

15. Your actually eating cooked food and reading this.
