    Psyllium husk, like in Metamucil and fiber capsules, usually clocks in about 5 calories per gram of fiber. For 35g thats about 175 Calories. You can usually get it loose so you can mix into food but blending 35 grams over the course of the day, you may be better just taking a bunch of capsule throughout the day with alot of water.

      Also be aware you should get soluble and insoluble fiber. If you only take psyllium husk you will not be getting insoluble fiber.

      That’s also what I use. So far it’s been pretty good. The only thing is that if you don’t use a capsule and don’t blend it into food, it’s gonna tase disgusting.

      But also yes. You should eat more fruits and veggies.

        I throw a tsp into a smoothie, along with a tsp of powdered up oats. Let rest in the fridge for a quarter of an hour, now it’s a pudding
