So… how easy is it to hit 30g of fibre a day? 🤔🌿
After our “Is fibre the new protein?” post, I decided to actually log a full day of eating and see how much fibre I was really getting.
Here’s what surprised me 👀
🥣 Breakfast
Mixed nuts & seeds, an orange, homemade kefir and a spoon of Greek yoghurt.
Sounds fibre rich, right?
➡️ Only 3.7g of fibre
Even with fruit, seeds and nuts, it was much lower than expected.
🥗 Lunch – our Body & Soul Salad
Loads of different plants, a portion of black beans, a little feta and a couple of eggs for protein.
➡️ 8.8g of fibre
Not huge, but it usually keeps me full right through until dinner.
🍽️ Dinner – Vegetarian Greek Lentil Stuffed Courgette with Quinoa
We’re not vegetarian – more plant forward – and this is exactly the kind of evening meal we love.
➡️ A whopping 21.1g of fibre
Most of it coming from those humble lentils 💪🌱
🍘 Snack
3 oatcakes with hummus before a later afternoon run.
➡️ 2.4g of fibre
✅ Grand total for the day: 36g of fibre
And here’s the key takeaway 👇
Even eating around 16 different plants across the day, hitting the recommended 30g of fibre didn’t just happen by accident. It took intention, especially at the main meal.
Fibre doesn’t sneak in quietly – you have to invite it in.
