[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel best when I eat a high protein, high fiber diet full of vegetables. I aim for about 40% of calories from protein, and 30% fat and 30% carbs.

I think focusing on hitting protein and fiber is key. Fiber because if you are hitting > 25g/day of fiber you are eating a good amt of fruits and veggies.  [/quote]
OP back. This is where I think I need to head. I just don’t do well with processed carbs. I mean I LOVE THEM but they do not love me back. I think my future plan of eating includes beans regularly as I just can’t hit the fiber target (I think I need closer to 30) without them.[/quote]

The healthiest populations on the planet are people who consume plentiful legumes on a regular basis, so that is an excellent dietary plan!

You might try dark chickpeas/garbanzos, I've recently started eating them and they are really delicious, better than the pale ones. I prefer to buy them dry and cook them at home, it's a better texture cooked from dry than the ones that sit in a can.

I put them in my curries, but also toss them in salads and pasta dishes and over a baked sweet potato etc. I find it's easy to soak a cup of bean overnight, simmer them for 60-90 minutes on the stove, drain and store in a glass container in the fridge - they are ready to toss into whatever recipe I'm making any day of the week.
