Random Fact:

Cellulose is a fancy word the food companies use for “wood pulp.”

Since it is non-toxic, no one really cares if you are eating wood pulp. However, it is indigestible and gives no nutritional value.

Nutrition Fact

While the reminder to drink water may sound unnecessary and obvious, many people often mistake their thirst for hunger. If you just ate a meal and are still hungry, you could just be dehydrated.
Too often dieters attempting to lose weight think they’re hungry when they’re not. Don’t mistake your thirst for hunger! If you feel hungry, drink more water first and then wait it out. After 10 minutes, you’ll know if you’re actually hungry.

Just so you guys know,

don’t eat more than one Fiber One bar!

It gives you bad gas and stomach cramps! D:

I bought myself two bars for breakfast, ate one and was still hungry, so I ate another. So the rest of the day i had AWFUL gas and my stomach was cramping up. Which, I didn’t think too much on it because i have a polyp and I always get gassy if my medicine doesn’t work properly and my stomach cramps a lot. Well I decided I should probably look it up because I was gassier than normal and well, yeah. I had waaaay too much fiber

Nutrition Fact Day 31:

Eggs contain 6 grams of protein and all 9 essential amino acids. Just one egg yolk has approximately 300 micrograms of choline which is a nutrient that helps to regulate the nervous system, cardiovascular system & brain. Eggs are also a source of “good fat.” One egg is only 5 grams of fat and only 1.5 grams of that is saturated fat.
