Hi! I'm not trying to lose or gain weight, just maintain. I've calculated my macros and I (apparently) ought to eat 84 g of protein and 34 g of fat per day, but most low-fat, high-protein foods are things like meat and eggs- and I have trouble pooping when I eat so much meat and eggs! (forgive my candor, haha) Anybody know of some high SOLUBLE FIBER, low or no-fat foods that are, most importantly, high in protein? Or is that just not a thing?
(I already know oats are a decent option, but they're not exactly high in protein. Beans are sorta high in fat.)

Chicken breast and Fiber One.0

Why is your fat set so low?
Quinoa is pretty high in protein/fiber. Peas/beans are good, spinach has about 3 g of protein per half cup. You have to experiment and see what works.0 -
But chicken breast has meat! How could it have fiber?

I have no idea! I just used whataremymacros.com to calculate and that's what I was given. Is that really very low?0

Oh, I see, hehe. Hmm, according to Fiber One's nutrition facts though, it's mostly insoluble fiber0

It seems pretty low for most people. The RDA for the general population is about 60 or so grams for a 2,000 calorie diet.
I get about 35% of my calories from fats, which works up to about 66 g a day for me, and I'm losing weight at a deficit.
Fat is nothing to be afraid of! Just stay away from trans fats as much as possible and be mindful of your saturated fats.0 -
Try Quest bars - they have 20 grams of protein and 18-20 grams of fiber for around 200 calories or less. They do have 5-8 grams of fat, which is low-fat in my book.
My favorite flavors are apple pie, double chocolate chunk, and cookie dough. You're welcome. 0 -

I know there's nothing wrong with it! I was just trying to follow the nutrition guidelines I was given. But it certainly could be wrong. I will try upping my fat intake... I know nuts are mostly soluble fiber 0 -

I'll look into those!0 -
I had a similar problem, and solved it with massive amounts of raspberries. Kind of expensive, but a very tasty additive to my pretty boring diet. As for fiber to carb ratio, you can't get much better. And don't worry about soluble/insoluble. I'm telling you, after a week or two of eating 2 cups a day of raspberries (or blackberries), you'll be okie dokie.0

Nuts can be a decent source of protein also, and are full of healthy fats. Good luck! 0 -

Nah, trust me, I know it's soluble fiber that's the problem! But thank you, I'll try raspberries and blueberries too 0 -

This^. I didn't know they had an apple pie flavor. I just tried smores the other day and its also good.0 -
To help you go.......fiber (obviously) water, movement, and fat.
Brown rice has soluble fiber....some protein....not terribly high though.
Are you staying hydrated?0 -
chili or soup with plenty of lean meat, beans and chopped vegetables.0
