Hi Kim-
I tend to eat a high fiber diet because I am a little sluggish in a certain area. x(
Anyway, a typical day for me is:
Breakfast:
Fiber one mixed with Kashi Go lean with skim milk and a piece of fruit. Apple or banana.
Lunch:
Either a PB and J or turkey on Whole Wheat Bread, yogurt with some Kashi Krunch in it.
Dinner:
My main fiber comes from vegies this time of day. Broccoli, salad, and stuff like that.
I snack on cookies, chocolate or carrots, grapes, strawberries etc.
Lots of water too..
Hope that helps a little.
Have a great day!!
Beverly
P.S. Don't forget about beans, beans, and more beans...

Hi Kim! I usually start my day w/Egg Beaters veggie omelet topped w/salsa & roasted potatoes & onions or an omelet w/oatmeal & apple. Snack on ff cheese w/apple. For lunch a large salad mixed w/mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, jicama, radishes, yellow pepper, artichoke hearts & 5-6 oz. grilled chicken or fish. Snack in afternoon of either oatmeal w/blueberries or cottage cheese w/blueberries. Dinner consists of 5-6 oz. chicken, sweet potatoe or Spanish rice or brown rice & veggies either broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, squash, etc. or a mixture of all of these. You can also snack on a handful of nuts if you want. Its all of these veggies that will make up the fiber. You just have to know which vegetables are high in fiber & which ones are low. HTH, Kathy
PS: I also eat lean beef (either flank or london broil) & I love pasta; sometimes raviolli w/marinara sauce or meat sauce at least once a week.:9

There's no such thing as a stupid question!
You can buy hummus at many grocery stores. Even in the boonies where I live, the rinky dink grocery store carries it.
I prefer to make it myself, though. Many cookbooks have hummus recipes and you could easily find a recipe on the web as well. Below is my favorite recipe, which is delicious and also contains less oil than most recipes. It's from the Feb 2002 issue of "Martha Stewart Living." It lasts for weeks in the fridge.
1-3 garlic cloves, "roasted" as below*
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 19-oz can chickpeas, drained
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 Tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste - found in most grocery stores)
3 Tablespoons water
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Put garlic and chickpeas in food processor and process until finely chopped. Add lemon juice, tahini, water, salt, cayenne and olive oil and process until light and fluffy but not entirely smooth, about 2 minutes.
*To "roast" garlic: Put UNPEELED cloves in skillet over medium-high heat until dark brown on all sides. Let cool enough to handle, then peel. (This lends a mellower flavor to the hummus or any other dish.)
Hope you enjoy!
