How do all you meat eaters get your fiber and micronutrition?

Benefiber, kale, brocolli, baby spinach, blackberries and raspberies have high fibre and are low in sugar/ low carb. Oats are an occasional option, as are lentils and beans for even more fibre. Though that is not feasible if very low carb. I need my vegies and I look forward to being given ok by doctor to eat fruit. Cereal and bread I can live without. Protein fills me up. Nori Seaweed sheets are a handy way to wrap up a meat with something such as avocado.0

True dietary fiber can be excluded from your daily carb count.
That said, your first goal should be to budget in 30 grams of fiber each day which can be a challenge if you low-carb. I include a Quest Bar every day. Lots of protein but also 17-18 grams of fiber for a net carb count of 3-4 carbs.
Best bar out there as far as I'm concerned.
I'm at 50% Protein, 30% Fats and 20% carbs.
So you basically supplement fiber?

Tons of vegis every day, i eat brocolli, carrott,cauliflower,green beans, peas,sweet potatos. I eat alot of meat but most of my cals weather im bulking or cutting come from carbs, the only carb i consume that isnt fiberous is white rice. Ive tried lower amounts of vegis in past and it was like a gut bomb by the end of day0

Seriously, the often maligned carbohydrate is the source of most of the micronutrition in your diet.
Premise quality problem. Micronutrients come from all foods. If all your micronutrient rich foods are all carbohydrates, why are you choosing such low micronutrient (& low quality) proteins and fats?0 -
I have no idea what sixxpoint is talking about. When I was cutting I was getting at least .8g of protein per pound of body weight, my fat intake was low (possibly too low), and I was getting 50g of fiber per day. Quest bars, shirataki noodles, and a crap ton of veg.0

I shoot for 30% protein, so am probably not your intended demographic, but I like my food to have lots of different colors.

That rainbow looks tasty, but don't ask me to eat the sweet potato, yam, turnip, squash, parsnip or similar

I'll eat all of those for you. They're all ingredients in one of my favorite dishes.0 -

That sounds like a fabulous combo for roasted root vegetables

Seriously, the often maligned carbohydrate is the source of most of the micronutrition in your diet. How do ALL of you go about selecting what fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, etc. you consume, the quantity, and match what nutrients they provide with what your diet needs?
I find nutritiondata.com to be an excellent way to check on the nutrients that MFP doesn't track ot make sure my overall diet has adequate micronutrition.
Do all you on high protein diets take care to maximize the nutrition from your carb sources to have a diet complete for micronutrition as well?
cronometer.com is an actual tracker for micronutrient intake.0
