12-Week High-Fiber Meal Plan

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.” (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
