I did get in plenty of fiber, though (good to have lots of practise before my real daily challenge begins), equalling to about 35g of fiber for the day of 1715 calories -- well over my 25g goal.
Things I've learned this week:
-5 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder contains 10g of fiber! And when mixed with 25g of sugar and some hot water makes some delicious, thick, strong, bittersweet hot cocoa. Maybe not for everyone (but I happen to love dark chocolate and my mother tells me I used to eat unsweetened baking chocolate when I was a little girl -- not to mention I have a chronic magnesium deficiency), but I can see this become a common food in my future with the cold snaps descending upon us.
-hummus is delicious! I already knew this, but I've started eating more lately with carrots to increase my fiber and I'm quite contented. Thinking about learning to make my own...
