I've heard a 30 year raw food expert once say that 7 almonds a day is more than enough of an intake of fat. People tend to forget that there is fat in all fruits and vegetables, and yes, even in sweet fruits, there's a small percentage of fat.
So you aren't depleted of fat!
I don't know where people get the crazy idea that they "need" fat as if plants don't contain any fat at all, that they need to eat handfuls of nuts, seeds, spoonfuls of oil, tons of avocados, nut pates, nut butters, flax crackers, etc.
Many folks'll end up overeating fat and not getting enough simple basic plant food like fresh fruits, greens, veggies etc. They'll end up dousing their greens in flax or hemp oil and avocadoes & olives. They end up with 70-80% of their calories in fat running through their blood stream on a daily basis.
Some who overeat raw fat often wonder why they cannot tolerate sweet fruits - it is because there's such a high percentage of fat being processed through their bodies that the sugars from the fruit rise and give them sugar metobolic problems such as excess yeast (candida), hypoglycemia, diabetes symptoms, etc.
So, lol, don't worry about your fat intake! It is fine!
And do eat when you feel hungry. Especially when you start off, you'll feel like you want to eat all the time. Put your salad in a ziploc bag so you can grab some greens & veggies when the feeling strikes. Keep bananas around so you can grab 2-3 when you get a craving. Over time your system will likely regulate where you can eat more and less often.
All the best to you!
