You track your protein.
But what about fibre?
Fibre isn't just about digestion.
It can support regular bowel movements, increase fullness, and provide fuel for gut bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).
WHO recommends adults get at least 25g of naturally occurring fibre/day from foods, making ~25–30g a useful practical target for many adults.
But don't jump from 10g → 30g overnight.
Increase gradually + drink enough fluids.
And the easiest way to get there?
Dal. Fruits. Vegetables. Whole grains. Nuts & seeds.
Because a high-protein diet can still be a low-fibre diet.
