reddit.com tends to suck away an awful lot of my attention.

I read that a person should get 30 grams of fiber per day. Honeslty, I'm not sure how I can manage that. FiberAll (A fiber supplement) provides 5 grams of fiber in a serving of one tablespoons - DO NOT EXCEED ONE SERVING PER DAY, it warns. So, a shot of that in my morning coffee gets me 1/6 of the way there.

Prunes. I love prunes. One serving is 100 calories and 3 grams of fiber. There's 5 servings in this bag. If I eat the entire bag, I've gotten almost a meals worth of calories and only 15 more grams of fiber.

I don't see how I can make this happen unless I start dining on logs.

Try this out.
Says my requirement is 19g. So maybe 30 is right, but dear lord - you would have to eat a ton of shredded wheat..
Apparently you only need to eat 1 cup of Baked Beans to get 16g.

Eat more beans and "All-Bran"
Cook some All'Bran into muffins or something. ew.
A large biscuit of Shredded wheat is only 4g.


And, WOW I'm only supposed to eat about 1150 Cal a day! That kinda makes me feel better, because I always had trouble eating 2000 calories a day which is the base for all Nutrition labels.

I can put away 1150 calories just at breakfast with out batting an eye. :(

Yeah I could too if I eat a Burger King Breakfast Sandwich and hash browns.

Look in your grocer's breakfast or granola bar section for Fiber One bars. Nine grams of fiber in 120 calories, and an assortment of flavors.
