Blue fingernails on the 80/10/10

Is anyone else having this problem ? im on day 7 and im always pretty cold but i exersice at least one time a day and am pretty active, somtimes 2 times a day. Im worried about this... im getting about 2500 calories usually, sometimes it goes up to 3000.
I´ve heard this is lack of oxygen through the body, and i always had blue fingernails when i had anorexia and wasnt eating enough. Im worried, am i not eating enough? im a girl, 19 years old 5ft5 and about 130lbs.

My ratio is usually about 9/5/5... but i dont put in to the cron-o-meter the 1 tablespoon of fish oil i take every morning to get in my vitamin D.. cause i live in iceland and we dont have alot of sun. It also has my daily need of vitamin E and omega 3 ...
So i wouldnt think its lack of fat or anything.
Im also drinking about 3-4 l of water per day

Help anyone??! im really worried !

I got blue nails too I was on a high fruit diet since last January (2012) but not on a 80/10/10 so i was eating a good bit of nuts and seeds. Then I kind of had 2 months of beak due to some emotional issues and now I have been back to fruitarianism 80-10-10 since September... I have a strong blue tinge on my nails and my sclera too looks bluish... Just wondering what it is...

Just like everyone else said, cut out the fish oil! And I'd also go for higher calories (~3000), to feel warmer :).

Comment by Kimberry on November 24, 2011 at 2:50pm: Vitamin D every day. :) And I second eating more and cutting out the oil.
I'm not sure about the blue fingernails, unless it's past things catching up with you?

Are they blue all the time? Mine become purple, but only when I'm really cold (like after eating banana ice cream). Usually goes away pretty soon.

Comment by oxabbsxo on November 24, 2011 at 8:02am: fish oil isn't vegan, so i'd swap it out for a different D substitute. but a vitamin D substitute is a great idea if you don't get a lot of sun.

the bare minimum you should be eating is 2,500. you have to add more calories onto that because you live in a cold environment AND you exercise.
if i were you, i'd be going for a minimum of 3,000 a day without exercise, and then eat more depending on how much you exercise.
and good luck!
