When you are preparing a meal you want to make sure you have the three main macronutrients included: protein, fat, and fiber for you to feel satisfied. Fiber is just as important as protein—it gives you energy and keeps you full and satiated until your next meal. To get your fiber fix for the day, fill your plate with lots of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Here are a few dishes filled with fiber for you to add to your weekly menu.
