Nothing sweet? I'd need to at least add monkfruit extract

Op, I saw a dietitian for my high cholesterol and she advised cutting out animal products and adding soy. I now only eat fish and chicken breast once a week. Definitely swap dark for light chicken, add edamame in foods. I get dry roasted as a snack.

OP here. I am seeing a nutritionist next week to help with cholesterol issues.

Most Americans get nowhere near the amount of required fiber per day.

Her breakfast isn’t too far off from mine but I do add 1/2 cup of beans each day.

You at probably still drastically short.

You are literally proving why Americans get nowhere near enough fiber, because they're so far off the mark for the daily recommended amounts in terms of education.

Just for fiber alone a woman needs:

1/2c beans
1/2 an entire avocado
1/2c oats
2 table chia
1 apple

At a minimum.

Women come in different sizes and their needs differ.

All women ideally should have 25g of fiber a day at least. It’s not about calories, it’s about what fiber does for your health.

- 4.2 oz raspberries
- 5.3 oz Skyr yogurt berry flavored
- 2.5 tablespoons chia seeds
- .8 tablespoon crunchy almond butter

a small cup of drip coffee with a splash of almond milk

19 grams of fiber already but only 23 grams of protein!

This has to be a troll

Because they are able to measure out .8 TBSP?

Yes. Why wouldn’t you just use either the exact amount in grams (if using a scale) or an even measurement if not using a scale. Unless you are taking the grams in a tablespoon and then converting your exact grams of that into a decimal, but WTH

Bigger and smaller bodies will have different nutritional needs. That is just logical. Weird that you think a 5’0 100 lb woman needs exactly the same nutrition as a 5’9” 175 lb woman.

This does not apply to fiber. You can Google this easily. It’s 25g for women, 38g for men, daily.

grab a chopped salad kit and finish one bag per day.
stop obsessing with numbers where it doesn't matter.

Most salad kits only have 7g of fiber for the whole bag (3.5 servings). Not PP, just showing that it's more difficult than just eating your vegetables.

Chopped salad would have maybe 3g total. Fiber actually DOES MATTER, it has tons of health benefits, that’s why I focus on it.

What is your problem, for real. You’re mad someone cares about … fiber. Go focus on your Wegovy dosage I guess!

Why pay $40 for fiber supplement when you can get it from real food? I am only watching out for your wallet!

This is OP. So I finally had a consultation with a nutritionist about my concerns. She said I was on the right track and was doing a fabulous job eating whole, nutrient dense foods. Her only recommendation was to not worry about consumption of healthy carbohydrates. She in fact recommends 40-50% of my calories to come from carbohydrates as they are critical for functioning of the body and cautioned me against trendy high protein diets that wreck havoc on the body. She says I am consuming more than enough proteins for my size and weight and not to worry about. She said since I appear to have metabolic sensitivity to fats and hereditary high cholesterol, to try to limit fat intake to 30-40% of my calories. She said one egg a day with egg whites would be a good strategy and to keep eating high fiber foods to help bring down cholesterol levels.

Overall positive session.

How did I do nutrition-wise?

Are you trying to starve yourself?
