Up until this point, I have been noting calories, fat (g) and protein (g) intake for each meal. Usually writing it down like this:
320 | 2 | 7
Aside from those three important metrics, I will add a fourth: dietary fiber DV%.
320 | 2 | 7 | 12%
This slight adjustment will help me keep quick track of the amount of dietary fiber I am consuming, which is important in a structured weight loss program. Presence of "fiber" in one's diet impacts the transit time of waste products through the digestive tract and improve overall tract health, if sufficient water is consumed.
Also, my local Walmart sells a high fiber cinnamon swirl oatmeal that I try to include in each morning's breakfast (40% DV).
