More nutrients than expected...
Lunch- another 1/2 watermelon
Dinner- 3 large Navel oranges, 1 large head red leaf lettuce
Sometimes I'm curious about the nutrient level in my food. I just entered watermelon into my Fit Day software and I was surprised at the high level of nutrients in my food today. The watermelon I ate contains 22 grams of fat! It also has 32 grams of protein and 337 grams of carbs. This puts me within the 80-10-10 range suggested by Dr. Graham.
Rhio, of Hooked on Raw, and I recently had a short conversation about the different theories of raw nutrition within the raw community. She suggested that trying to fit everyone into the 80-10-10 formula might not work because individuals are unique. I can see some value in that; I don't want to blindly make myself and others out to be square pegs trying to fit into a round hole. But, 80-10-10 might work well for a large number of people, and the formula might provide people a baseline to start from as they experiment and discover what works for them.
