fibre?

h9dlb

The government recommends a minimum of 50g of fibre a day for a man - I get no where near that despite having porridge every morning, salad at lunch, an apple or other fruit as a snack and a healthy dinner with veggies

Is it not 38g for a man?
Try lots of green vegetables - broccoli, sprouts etc
You could always take a supplement like psyllium husk.

Google says 38g on several sites. I'm gonna go with 38g.

BEANS! Legumes of most types. Black beans, red beans, garbazo, lentils, etc. are all stacked with sick amounts of fiber (and protein!).

yeh 38g sorry - mfp moved the goal because of my exercise today ! I eat plenty of fruits and veggies everyday and try and take chia/flax occasionally too

I pretty much stopped tracking exercise calories in MFP because it jacks up the macronutrients so much. I never really ate back my calories either. Don't put too much faith in the climbing macronutrient numbers.

Kind of the way I feel. i still enter the exercise into MFP .. but no longer care to eat the calories back OR hit the adjusted macro-nutrient numbers.

The BULK of my weight was lost by eating a set way and a set # of calories .. regardless of exercise or not, the base number didn't move.

(for FULL disclosure, the bulk of the weight was lost while using a different (not better .. just different) site that did NOT try to adjust the numbers for you .. they were just static numbers).
