I’m a fiber freak and here’s how I add some to my eggs (+ protein!)

Hi all

I’ve been adding red lentils to my eggs. My batch of 12 meal prepped breakfast sandwiches (they get frozen) used to only have 8g of fiber each and now they have 10g at minimum. I do this by boiling 5oz of red lentils, blending them, and then adding them to my egg mixture (eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese). Then I cook them on a sheet pan in the oven along with turkey patties and fat-free American cheese. The lentils also add more protein for those who care! I cannot taste it whatsoever on its own, nevermind with cheese and Frank’s. For my next batch I’m gonna add more lentils.

I also simply can’t have a meal without Oikos (Pro, plain) so I have some on the side with the sandwich like a dip. Then I have an apple for more fiber.

I’ve got this down to the T and it brings me joy. Eat your fiber!!

panicpixiememegirl Lol this is funny because i eat lentils regularly in my meal prep and outside of it and I'm pretty fit. There is simply not enough information in the post for you to decide who looks like what. Apr 29 4 likes

Adventurous-Brain-36 Adding 5 oz of a high fibre and high protein legume to a batch of 12 breakfast preps equates to poor nutrition choices? Do you know what a lentil is? May 1 1 like

jstmenow My goto comfort food is 1# dried pinto beans (6 cups of water), 1 cup lentils(2 cups of chicken stock), 2 jalapeño diced, a splash of liquid smoke and 2 smoked ham hocks all into the pressure cooker for roughly 2 hours, I'll add a whole onion and a can of tomatoes and a handful of fresh spinach at the end after it shuts off and let it "warm" for another 30 minutes. I freeze it in 2 cup containers and usually have a 1 cup with 2 fried eggs on top. I am neither fit or slim. I am 6'2" 230#. Just healthy. May 5 1 like
