    You can gain a lot of protein through beans and legumes as well as dietary fiber. . Another thing I would suggest is Quinoa if you have not discovered it yet. . . :bigsmile:

    30 grams of dry roasted edamame has 8 grams of fiber and 14 grams of protein.

    Not entirely sure which foods hold both, but...

    Protein:
    Lean meats; chicken, beef, turkey, pork, veal, fish.
    Dairy; (eggs - if you call them dairy :tongue: ), cheese,milk.
    Legumes and beets (lentils!)

    Fiber:
    Oats
    Psyllium husk's (You can get these in a tablet form which you have with meals, as well as a husk in a packet)
    Oat bran is very good for fiber too.

    Only thing I can think of to get a good amount of protein and fiber in the same meal is something like oat's mixed with a protein powder.

    Wheat bread/bagels.
    Quest bars (and various other protein bars).

    Sorry, that's all I got off the top of my head. Google works well in these situations. :flowerforyou:

    Quinoa is great for both and can be substituted for rice in a LOT of recipes. It is also really easy to make. Spinach also has some protein and fiber. Most foods however are really good at one or the other and not both.

    As a disclaimer: I mean foods that have lots of protein alone and fiber alone as well! If they have both, that's even better!

    Black beans with salsa is my favorite. Top with avocado slices if you have extra cals.
    Make a burrito or just eat plain. Or eat with quinoa or brown rice.

    Also goes great on a sweet potato :)

    Heck ya love them!!!

    ******* I also like to make a protein shake for breakfast which would have your FIBER and PROTEIN:

    1 cup berries
    Apple (if you like or pear)
    1 scoop protein powder
    1TBSP ground flax
    1tsp cinnamon
    pinch of nutmeg

    This is based out of BOB HARPERS book. . .

    *NOTE* you can also add some greek yogurt for added protein.

    No worries. . . know lots of those. . . . . Egg whites are lowfat and high in PROTEIN. . .
    SOY MILK. . . . I also like ALMOND milk. .. .

    NUTS are a great source of protein if you measure them. . I use a food scale. . . Otherwise I used to count them. . .. :bigsmile:

    Together.

    Seriously. Think chicken breast with a Fiber One crumble, sliced apple and a maple... maple miso sauce.

    And a bit of cheese!
