According to Sparkpeople, I am WAY low on fiber intake, which was surprising to me because I thought that since I eat so many vegetables, my fiber intake would be better than it is. What do you do to get more fiber?
Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures
Prunes and raisin bran!

Ooooh for some reason I didn't think of prunes. Thanks!
DeleteI have that same issue. Plus I struggle to keep the protein anywhere close on a daily basis. If not for my daily protein drink I would hardly have any. I thought carrots and celery would up fiber. Nope.
ReplyDeleteI know, right??? I ate tons of carrots and discovered they don't have as much fiber as I thought!
DeleteTo help with protein and fiber, I eat Greek yogurt with Fiber One (or some other high fiber cereal like that...the original Fiber one...and lately had to get Bran Buds because they didn't have Fiber One). I think Fiber One is 57% of daily fiber...in with the yogurt (and I get Dannon Oikos) it doesn't taste bad at all!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll look into that. I'm not a huge fan of cereal, but putting it into yogurt doesn't sound so bad.
