    Default Where do you get your calories? (~2000)

    Hi.

    I'm 20 years old and I weigh 62kg.

    I used an online calculator which approximated my need for calories at about 2000, taking into account that I don't exercise.

    The problem is I have no idea where to get so much calories on a vegan diet. I'd have to eat a huge amount of fruit to get even close to that amount.

    10% from fat sounds ok, but then I still have to get 1800 from pure fruit.

    So my question is; where do you get your 2k calories? How can you eat so much fruit per day? Is it possible to eat "too much" fruit?
