Yup. The fruit fanatics really have no clue how poorly they are eating.

I love fruit and a lot of it is a great source of soluble and insoluble fiber. I’d also can’t be your ONLY source of fiber.

This is about 575 calories, which keeps me satisfied until dinner. It has about 56 grams of protein.

And maybe 2G gram of fiber which is what most of us in this thread are concerned about getting. Protein powder isn’t some big secret.

2g of fiber is very little if you only eat two meals a day. I use protein powder, generally mixed into Greek yoghurt, as a snack, but would not suggest it as a “meal” on a regular basis. Also most people tend to get hungry faster when they drink their calories.

Adding seeds to your yogurt and berries can help make it more filling and up the fiber quotient. I do that for lunch pretty frequently, and will add a banana and a square of dark chocolate if I'm still hungry. Works pretty well.

Snack on nuts to get you through the afternoon.

I was talking about not using protein powder as a “meal”, not yoghurt. I also regularly eat it with berries or Ezekiel bread to add fiber.

Nuts are very calorie dense and too easy to overeat. I basically never eat them.
