Here’s my unsolicited recipe for overnight oats, you sweet, fiber-deficient lemmies:
1/4 cup steel cut oats, 1 Tbsp chia seeds, a glob of honey, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 cup of milk, then in the morning add 1/4 cup crushed walnuts and a ton of blueberries.
For anyone wonfering this seems to be ~8g of fiber (plus ~19440g for one ton of blueberries) based on this database, which seems to source basic data from the USDA.
I just struggle with finishing my ton of blueberries before they spoil :(
I hate when recipes mix units. How many cups are a ton?
I know, right? Let me help you out with that.
A ton is 907 kg approximately, and the weight of a cup of blueberries, while varying, is around 148 g or 0.148 kg.
That means the above recipe calls for around 6128 cups of blueberries. And at 3.6 g per cup of blueberries that's ~22000 g of fiber or 628 times your recommended daily intake for men, or 880 for women!
I kind of feel like it would be a smidge too blueberry-y.
I think I've started reaching this amount recently since I've changed my diet and started eating more oatmeal and fruits/vegetables. With that said, fiber can actually cause problems for some people, it can cause bloating/pain for some people even with adequate water intake to match the fiber.
Your body needs time to adjust, you should work your way up to it.
True, but some people's bodies don't need time to adjust, and some people's bodies are unable to adjust, it just depends on the person.
if your body can't handle fibre, that's not fibre being bad, that's it telling you that you need to start getting in contact with medical professionals to make sure you stay healthy.
Not necessarily true, some people just don't tolerate fiber well. It doesn't mean that they absolutely definitely have something medically wrong, for some people it just causes bloating no matter what.
