It all depends on the individual, his build, normal weight, gender, age etc. Although AV, with his recommendations to eat vast amounts of food a day is not to be trusted.
Cheers Tyler. The person who gave me this advice followed AV.I feel much fuller after eating cooked foods. This must be because my body has switched over to specialising in digesting raw foods, so that less effort is made to digest cooked foods.
Do you find that you can eat, say, 300 grams of chicken and not at all feel full, but the same amount cooked would fill you? I find that and its weird. I feel like I could eat 1kg of raw chicken but im not sure if its a good idea...

I do not do better eating lots of fruit. That makes me eat too much in general. I do eat more fruit in the summer because eating more than a small amount of raw meat in a hot climate makes me even hotter than I am, but otherwise I am raw low-carb.
Are you sure these were grams of protein, and not grams of meat? 950 grams of protein would be over 5kg (11lb) of 15% fat beef, for example. 500-950 grams of meat a day is totally doable. 300 grams of protein from chicken breast with skin would be around 1.5kg (3.3lb).
No way it was protein. Thats a crazy amount. She meant protein as in meat....surely...
Assuming the ultimate goal is to live on a raw paleo diet, is it ok to achieve this incrementally, and is that what others have done? I read sabertooth went full raw paleo and felt better in a week. Would he, or have others, hit that point during that transition where the cravings are overwhelming you become desperately weak, almost on the verge of collapse? I mean, id eat shit for a year if it cured me, i just dont want to do any more damage to my body.
Fruits and nuts provide carbohydrates, so why not eat a raw-paleo carb when you want more carbohydrate? Since you mention inflammation, it might be wise to test to see which foods inflame your system. Just pick a symptom of inflammation and watch for it after eating each food. I finally did this testing and was able to identify individual raw foods that trigger discomfort.
My inflamming foods are, not coincidentally, the ones I tend to crave. Wheat and potatoes are among the common triggers. If you "crave" carbs, eat cooked broccoli or yam rather than cooked wheat or potato so you would have less collateral damage in terms of inflammation.
Ive tried High fruit diets. My teeth have never been the same.
what about diabetes? how much raw protein would it take to heal?
