TOTAL GRAMS OF FIBER FOR THE DAY = 48.5

I thought I would be low for the day because I knew I was getting very little fiber at the shower. So I made sure to eat veggies when I got home & then had a big salad later with black beans. Turns out I went way over, but that's ok. My system is used to a lot of fiber and I actually feel better the more fiber I have. BootCamp members, you probably won't want to go this high on your fiber unless you're used to it.
