HI,

Just wanted to know what classes as a high protein diet
And how much fibre

Is a high protein diet the way to go

I've been trying to keep my calories around 1100 -1200 with as much protein and fibre.

Thanks.

    This is really general given you don't give any advice around your goals or current intake.

    Some suggest anywhere between 1.6-2.2g of protein per kg of body weight. Fibre is good to aim for 25-35g, from food sources.

    High-er protein is often good for weight loss because it supports muscle growth, keeps us full, is metabolized/stored differently to fats and carbs, but there's plenty of info out there on what's a good amount if you have a hunt online.

    i eat quest protein bars. they come in a bunch of different flavors, taste amazing and have an average of 17 grams of fiber, with 20 or 21 grams of protein. i eat 1200 calories a day - i eat 80-100 grams of protein and usually get about 40 grams of fiber a day. salad's are also a great way to get low calorie with fiber.
