Fiber

[abbot138]

Do you guys count Fiber towards your daily macros (carbs and/or calories)?

you subtract fiber from carbs. ie 1/2 cup of oats is 27g of carbs and 4g of fiber so its really 23g of carbs.

i do. but whatever, to each his own.

[abbot138]

Yeah that seems to be kind of the consensus when I ask around, its about 50/50 yes and no

fiber isn't absorbed by the body, thats why your not suppose to count it.

im surprised nova counts his

[MuscleScience]

the food labels count fiber in for total carbs.

[abbot138]

I've heard both. Some people say they count it towards carb intake but not calories, which makes no sense to me. I dunno, personally I dont count it as anything. Just curious what others do.

hell i just look at carbs, fats, and proteins. if there's fiber...good. but i supplement plenty of fiber into my diet with sugar free metamucil and broccoli out my ass. so what the hell, i just count it in. i guess my carb count would be higher than it would "technically" be. but i don't measure my food out to exacts so i go with rough numbers.

not all do. my ww wraps, subtract the fiber and call them net carbs. just about any brand promoting healthy food advertise net carbs on the front.

The government is stupid, they allow for a 20% error rate on food labeling and they also allow manufactors to round up or in most cases round down caloric totals.

how much Metamucil do use per day and when?

[novastepp]

i just add it to my meals as i see fit. usually when i eat a big steak of beef meal i throw it in. now it's supposedly 5g of fiber per teaspoon, but i just dump it in my water. probably 20-25g at a time twice a day usually. that's my guess.

dam 20-25 at a time. i usually do 10-15 with my beef meals like you do or meals with no fiber. i thought 10-15 was too much, i guess not.

thanks

funny you say that because i really don't know what an effective dose may be, and if there are any pros and/or cons associated with a dose like that.

i just reduced my dose to 5g 2-3 times a day, because of tai post saying that if you take too much at one sitting, you lose out on nutrients and just crap it out.

im going back to 10g 2-3 times.

[novastepp]

yeah i knew that. but i usually also take fiber with a cheat. like maybe an entire bag of kettle cooked jalapeño chips.

i can't stop. if my mouth isn't on fire, i'm not eating enough. personally whats worse... natural peanut butter. dude no shit, i could eat jar after jar after jar after jar after jar. i can't buy more than 2 at a time or i will honestly mow em down.

i use to be like that with those flaming hot cheetos, i miss those. i just started eating those sun chips, french onion flavor. no kettle cooked but good.

since you eat so much, how do you keep your stomach in check? i try to do the vacuum pose as much as possible throughout the day

when i eat like that, it looks like im pregnant

[novastepp]

hell i'm a little distended by genetics. its the rest of the week and the cardio that keeps me in check. i honestly don't cheat often at all. but when i do it's really bad.
