[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm using this thread as my personal fiber diary :).

I hit 38 grams today!! On 1500 calories.

Overnight oats with chia seeds, cocoa powder (who knew that cocoa powder has 2 grams of fiber in a Tb???), milk, and half a banana. I did add a little maple syrup halfway through.

[b]Lunch was a grain bowl with farro, lentils, brussel sprouts, cucumber and cherry tomatoes, arugula, tzatiki, hummus. Dressing of olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. This was delicious, I could eat it every day and not feel deprived.  Made a similar bowl for tomorrow. This meal alone had 25 grams of fiber.

Dinner was chicken soup. Not much fiber, just the veggies in the soup and a slice of whole grain bread on the side,  but I'd already more than hit my goal with breakfast and lunch, and just wanted something light.

Thanks for listening :).[/quote]
Do you follow a recipe for this that you can share? Sounds yummy [/quote]

I made a batch of farro (plain boiled) over the weekend, and a batch of brown lentils (cooked in the instant pot - 1 cup lentils, 1 tsp whole cumin seeds, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 chopped tomato, salt). Also had leftover roasted brussel sprouts from dinner Sunday night. So all of that was in the fridge.

For the lunch, I combined in one tupperware:
1/2 cup cooked farro
1/2 cup cooked lentils
1/4 cup roasted brussel sprouts

In a separate tupperware;
1 small cucumber, diced
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 Tbsp hummus
2 Tbsp tzaziki 
1 cup chopped arugula

And a small dressing container with a Tbsp of olive oil and a tsp each of red wine vinegar and lemon juice.

At work, I warmed up the farro/lentil mix in the microwave, then combined it with the other Tupperware. Drizzled the dressing all over. [/quote]
