That’s only 12-13 grams but I don’t want to eat any more food than that. Completely satiated.
There are substitutions you can make to add more fiber without eating more food.
Add a half cup of beans or lentils to your lunch salad and skip the yogurt. That’s 6-8 grams of fiber.
Add 1 cup of berries (lunch or dinner or 1/2 c for each) instead of tomatoes. That’s 8 grams of fiber.
Swap the low fiber zucchini with a higher fiber vegetable.
This whole thread is women who barely eat and are so scared to eat more they are measuring food in dust to figure out how to squeeze fiber in.

Just add an apple and a pear to your breakfast and lunch and you’re done.

Yes, I have to be intentional about hitting 25 + grams of fiber per day even though I eat relatively healthy.
I think beans or lentils with my lunch is the key for me.

But this is what was in our CSA this week and I like eating seasonally what the local farms are producing. And yogurt helps my digestive system with the probiotics.
Anyway, some days I easily get 30 grams of fiber, but many I do not - even on days I consider relatively healthy. (I know it could be better)
