[[http://24.199.107.18:11111/p/_uvziHf7R8QiywcVnFa4|Real-Time Collaborative Notepad]]

* "Current dietary guidelines for Americans suggests that people age 2 and older get 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories in the daily diet." ([[https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948|Mayo Clinic]])
  * ramp up fiber intake to avoid digestive upset
  * drink lots of water to help body process fiber increase
  * account for leftovers and ability to freeze excess in meal prep
  * idea: plan a month of recipes, plus 10 extra, then for the next month keep the same plan except knock out 5 least favorites and substitute with 5 from the extra set
  * start every dinner with mini salad serving
  * for exhausted days, use #fallback "recipes"
  * Try 130 oz water goal based on color
