[Post from Reddit] You're in a basement for 10 years and you have 30 points to spend.

but raw vegans have to eat more because fruits have very little calories as compared to a plate of pasta or rice. i've even read some stories where people got sick after converting to eating raw because they werent eating enough even though they say they feel full.

This is all true. However, feeling full all the time does not mean you can eat all you want as you mentioned in the original post.

Also, there are plenty of high calorie dense foods in the raw vegan diet. Canola oil, Olive oil, and Avocados are very dense calorically. You could be a fat raw vegan if you chose to be.
