    i was 6'0 188 pounds and on a raw vegan diet for years. nuts and avocados made me fat. they are good for you in moderation but, they made me fat. eating cashew cream 5 times a day was like 2000 calories on its own. You can make a vegan chocolate icecream from cocoa and avocado and maple syrup. that has to be at least 800 calories per serving. A block of tempeh is 500 calories and a day;s RDA of protein. 100g of rice is like 200 calories and its only half a cup.

    Stop giving me yummy ideas! I have a hard enough time with just cashews, I can imagine what I'd do if I made them into a cream! :laugh:
