A picture of my rigatoni pie for dinner for attention. Anyway. I eat fairly healthy, I’m plant based, a typical day for me looks like peanuts, yogurt with chia and flax seeds, a protein shake for lunch and wholewheat noodles with tofu, a big handful of spinach, a whole red pepper and some type of sauce for dinner. Sometimes it varies slightly on my days off work (I eat berries as a snack) and I drink about 4 litres of water a day. but anyways, my fiber still never gets above about 23 grams. I don’t really know if I should be concerned about that? Seen a lot of stuff recently saying we should be aiming for at least 30 grams a day, but between staying around 1200 calories, trying to make the food I actually like to stop me falling off the wagon, trying to eat high protein (I get around 80g a day) and now trying to get enough fiber it all feels a bit much and I’m wondering if I should just chill and not overthink it. I think I eat a pretty balanced diet and I am losing weight and have plenty of energy to exercise so no problems there. Does anyone have any insights on how important is actually is the meet your daily fiber goal? Because going by most people’s advice on how much protein I should be eating for my weight it’s well over 100g but I just can’t do it, and I feel fine 🤷♀️
