Here is a dietary suggestion if you eat about 2,000 calories a day, here’s what you can to do consume at least 30 grams of fiber:
Grab a cup of oatmeal (4 grams) with a half a cup of raspberries (4 grams) for breakfast. (I eat my oatmeal everyday…I do need to add some some fruit.
Snack on an ounce of almonds in the afternoon (3.5 grams). Love almonds they will now be on my shopping list.
For dinner, have a medium-sized baked potato with the skin (5 grams), and top it with half a cup of black beans (8 grams) and a half a cup of cooked spinach. Bake potato with skin I do eat, but a half a cup of black beans oozing over it now that sounds real yummy, love spinach too.
So high fiber your diet, grab an apple, or pear, throw in veggies, add some nuts…no matter how you mix up the fiber, fiber always comes on top…
