Spinach can help a huge amount in that because it has soo many nutrients.
Here's my fasting plan: 1 Meal/day
100 cals - 1 lb of Spinach
60 cals of tuna (1/2 a small can)
1/2 lb of cauliflower
That total comes out to about 200 cals and meets aboout 100% of 1/2 of all the micronutrients and roughly 50 to 100% of all the other micronutrients. The Tuna (Selenium,b3,b12,b6) nicely complements the Spinach (high in A,C,E,K,Iron, Magnesium). And you get a relatively high amount of protein and fiber (normalized for cals)
Also, you can use something like Crono-meter to measure all your nutrients.
And btw, just because someone is eating 2000+ cals doesn't mean they're getting all their nutrients. Most of the foods people eat are so devoid of any nutrition, they minus well not even count.
- sp332 9y agoDid I misread or are you eating a pound of spinach in one sitting? How do you fit that in your stomach?
- DiabloD3 9y agoHave you never cooked spinach? It turns into nothing by the time you're done.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoHe didn’t specify though. Cooked and raw spinach have very different nutritional properties, so it makes sense to eat both.
- pascalxus 9y agoThe minerals stay the same. It's just the vitamins that are decreased. But, spinach has such a vast amount of vitamin A,C,K to start with, it hardly matters.

- seanmcdirmid 9y agoThe acid brought out in cooking doesn’t just decrease the nutrients, it allows some nutrients to be absorbed easier, so it’s a bit more complex.
- pascalxus 9y agoIt becomes a lot smaller after you boil it. But, it's fairly easy to eat all that, with my vast appetite. For anyone with weight problems, appetite and hunger tends to be way too large anyway.
