    I have another lentil recipe to try! This was a one dish/one pot meal, no grains at all, about 325 calories per serving. It made 4 generous servings, with 19 grams of fiber each. I doubled the amounts of vegetables, including using a large can of Italian size tomatoes (the can that had six servings for about 150 calories for the whole can). I used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for more fiber and because I really like how their sweetness offsets the earthy flavor of lentils. As per my usual way, I only used a teaspoon of oil to start the veggies sauteing. The flavor of this improved the second day. I also used a salt free seasoning blend from Trader Joe's to add a nice layer of flavor to it.

    That looks and sounds absolutely amazing. I'll give it a try on my next day off (Monday).

    Everyday I seem to be rather low in fiber. I had been trying different flavors of quest bars but I honestly hate the taste. I can't justify eating something I don't like the taste of. I eat a lot of fruit and veggies but apparently not enough to reach my fiber goal. I am looking for foods (or supplements) that are high in fiber. I cannot eat wheat, barley, oat or gluten at all. I had tried psyllium capsules but they were so low per capsule it didn't help.

    For me it's raspberries
