How long do you think you could survive if you only ate carrots?

If we are talking about raw or boiled carrots to avoid the nutrition from ingredients, not for very long. To avoid essential fatty acid deficiency (EFA), a minimum fat intake of 0.2-0.25 grams per pound is required, which means 375 medium carrots (about 23 kg) for a 150lbs person, even if all the 0.1g total fat in a medium carrot can be used to get essential fatty acids. This is way beyond the normal maximum of 6-7 pounds of food per day, and almost reaches the world record of 26kg. In 2016, Australian Andrew Taylor managed to only eat potatoes and sweet potatoes for 1 year in 2016, which is even lower in fat. Therefore, the survival time with only carrots can possibly exceed this.
