You are correct that you would have to eat a lot of those things to get enough, however, you should eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Here is an example:
Quote:
8 Cups Sweet Potato
1 Cup Cooked Collard
1 Cup Cooked Kale
1 Cup Adzuki Beans
1/2 Cup Blueberries
1/2 Cup Mango
1 oz Nut/Seeds (4 tsp flax/1 tsp brazil/1tsp sunflower)
At 2000 calories it surpasses every single vitamin, mineral, carotenoid, etc known that we have a DRI/RDA for except for B12. It is 8% fat.
(all numbers based on the USDA SR20 as accessed thru the CRON-O-Meter, version 0.9.3)
The Omega 6 is 5.7
The Omega 3 is 2.8
This is a 2:1 ratio

But lets say you ate 1800kCal of mango and 200kCal of Kale.
Here is the EFA breakdown.
Omega 3 -1754mgs
omega 6 - 943mgs
Ratio ~ 2:1
Here is 1800kCal of bananas and 200kCal of spinach
omega 3 - 1720
omega 6 - 1123
Ratio ~ 1.5:1
These are obviously not balanced diets but it's just an example. I just want to try it with one more combo. Broccoli and pineapple.
omega 3 - 1528
omega 6 - 1098
ratio ~ 1.5:1
