raw bulking?

[stunnaman]

Hi, I would like to bulk up on a mostly raw food diet from current 175lb to at least 225lb..trying to get robocop jacked. But I can only gain weight eating +4500cal/day, which seems unattainable on a purely raw diet as the waterweight from fruits/veggies fills me up too fast and I top out at 3000cal even though I'm ultra full and have eaten 8-9 meals.

Most of the raw plans I've seen are a joke and must come to a pathetic 1500-2000cal a day... this is not acceptable, How can I get the cals up, not get super full and ensure I can still eat 8-9 big size meals a day (I need to be eating a shitload every 2 hours) but still eat mostly raw?

Also what do you eat before bed... I'm used to eating cottage cheese as it gives me at least 5 hours before hunger pains kick in again and I wakeup and have to eat

Also 2.. Is nonfat plain yogurt really that bad? It has become pretty much a staple as it has fixed my digestion problems.

Thanks!!

What does "robocop jacked" mean?

Um, this IS a raw VEGAN (or beegan) site, so we're not advocating dairy. There are plenty of other things that will give the probiotics or whatever you need to aid digestion... might try enzymes.

Final suggestion ~ probably best not to use what many will consider profanity as, more people are likely to respond if you don't offend them with your language and, it's just not appropriate on this particular site.

Hope you find what you need.

Welcome, citizen. :)

I'm of no help but maybe something here (http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=%22raw%20food%22) will help. I've seen the "Charlie Abel: How to build muscle on a raw food diet." one and it was pretty good. Hopefully you'll get some ideas there.
