Rick, raw vegan, age 16

"You'll notice I eat very simply, but large volumes. I eat large volumes to make sure I get my calories, but remember I'm a growing male, and I'm pretty active. If I'm hungry, I eat until I'm not hungry anymore. Some days, I eat many different foods, and other days I'll only eat one. I vary my diet over days and weeks, not over hours... I eat all of my veggies organic and most of my fruit when I can, but I do my best. I won't eat non-organic fruits like grapes, berries, or apples because I eat the peels. If all I have is organic avocados or bananas, I'll eat them! Don't starve yourself! "


breakfast: distilled water, perhaps with squeezed lemon (tastes like lemonade). Watermelon (sometimes I can only eat 1/2 but other times I can eat two whole ones.)

lunch: organic, ripe bananas, blended in a blender. I eat anywhere from 10-25 bananas, sometimes more or less, depending on how much exercise I've gotten, how much water, etc. It's very important for active people to get their carbohydrates from fruits! I might add in other fruits too if I desire, but I love my bananas plain!

dinner: A blended soup. Avocado mixed with tomatoes, eaten with celery or other greens. I can scoop this out with celery or add the celery in the soup and it becomes saltier. Sometimes I may use romaine lettuce instead or add some garlic or onion to taste, which is great idea for people are still used to spicy tastes.

snacks: I don't make a big deal out of snacks. If I'm hungry, I eat until I'm not hungry anymore. We aren't grazing animals, so [I don't believe it's] good to just eat a little of this, a little of that, etc. It took me a while to get here though!

on the road: Raw nuts, seeds, and dried fruit make AWESOME road snacks, when it's not feasible to eat 20 oranges or when I don't have a place to put a mound of banana peels!! haha

Alittle bit about bananas: Ripe bananas have little brown sugar spots, and are much sweeter than ones without. Bananas are a great source of calories, and they have some fat and protein.
