Date Island?

Hi my fellow date-lovers! :)

I'm highly considering taking at least a 2 week trip on Date Island (dates and celery/lamb's lettuce).

Has anyone ever done it? I know that's possible to do just like Banana Island...

My dates...hopefully not a date-dilemma!!!

Hi everyone,

I feel really silly for thinking about this, but in order to solve my dilemma, I could really use some feedback.

I eat Mozafati dates every day. The ones that I order in bulk (29 kg per order) come in boxes weighing 650g each. On average I eat 2 boxes a day (1 kg and 300g total), but I can also eat up to 3 (1 kg and 950g/almost 2 kg) boxes a day depending on what else I eat throughout the day. On the box it states per 100g is 260 calories. Given I ate 2 boxes today, that would give it a total of 3380 calories (and I even ate later after my date meal :) ). But considering that each date has a stone in it I'm worried that I'm getting less calories than I thought. Though I've seen posts from people (including avid date-eaters) here who eat less dates than I do, even though sizes vary from dates to dates. Still I'm worried because I don't want to be undereating at all. Each box of dates that I have has a total of 48-60 dates (depending on the size of the dates). Usually I eat well over 100 dates a day.

I've always been reliant on my dates that if I eat at least 2 boxes, I won't have to worry about getting enough calories with the other fruits and greens I eat after my date meal. But I'm afraid if the stones severely affect the calorie-content of my beloved dates that I have been unintentionally undereating.

Because I am terrible at math (could never do better than a 3 in school) I could really use some help and insight to find out if I need to be eating more dates or if I'm making a big worry over nothing.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Post a picture of yourself and dates. :)

I'll have to wait until I'm at my friend's house because she has a camera. But until then feel free to post pictures of you enjoying your dates. The pictures can be wacky, serious, funny or anything you want - as long as it's 811-appropriate of course. ;)

What are your favourite dates?

My favourite dates are definitely Mozafati dates. I've never eaten anything better! :)
