    Meal prep fiber/protein rich food is my best attempt at this. I usually do brown rice with toppings and egg every single day; twice per day. Very hard to get bored because you can vary the toppings - eggplant, beans, curry, soy protein, stir fried stuff - and brown rice is fiber which is hard to be bored of smaller carb/glucose-spike footprint.

    Just don’t freeze it, the crystals will mush the texture and you’ll get bored of the slop feel very quickly.

      Honestly, I took a look at fiber a few years ago and realized that it was basically absent from my diet.

      I started treating it like a game.

      Just generally, I feel so much better, my poos aren’t markers, my stomach is not ever “doing something” and just generally I don’t have to think about it. Plus I dropped a bunch of weight kinda by accident.

      I’m kinda starting to think that if you basically aim for fiber the rest works out. You end up eating larger quantities of less dense calories.

      Though, I may have inadvertently discovered that dairy makes my tummy gross too
