not enough fiber?

head_in_rainbows

Hi there! I just joined this webside 2 days ago and I am very exited. I want to loose about 10 lbs. I've already lost about 30 but we all know how the last 10 lbs is the most difficoult so I decided to get some help here. Anyway ... set my goal and got the calory limit. After two days I don't find it difficoult to meet the limit, I even eat about 100-200 cal less. Yeah me! So ... I checked the Full Report and I was shocked to see that I eat about 16-17 gr of fiber a day. I think it is not enough. The thing is that I eat a lot of veg so I thought that in this department I should be fine. I guess not. Anyway, could you reconmend me some fiber rich foods? I already eat quinoa and grains and beans so I don't know what to add.

Thanks in advance and let's do it!

I just double checked it. Loads fine for me.

Basically, suggested intake of fiber is 14g per 1000 calories.

So, 1500 calories would be 21g, 2000 calories would be 28g.

Thank you. Maybe it's my computer, I don't know.

Hmmmmm I read that a woman shoudl eat about 25 g and man 35 g of fiber a day and that western people generally eat below 15 g. I am confused now.

But I like your version better:)

Aye, those numbers scale properly with the average calorie intake of a man and a woman. And most people do get too little fiber.

I am a huge fan of fiber... and still don't get enough. It's tough! MORE BROCCOLI!!!!

Broccoli! That's a great idea! I love it even if I didn't eat it for a while:) Thanks!
