On the low-fat raw food diet, there is no calorie or carb counting (other than what was just mentioned) this is a diet of abundance. I typically do not do a lot of snacking between meals since I usually try to get enough calories to satisfy me per meal. However, I included a variety of snacks here to give you ideas should you get hungry between meals. That is why I do not put exact portion sizes here, it is adaptable to you as an individual and your caloric needs.
