I just checked a psyllium container. It says 3.1g of fibers per

calories.


I keep seeing and reading good things about psyllium husk and I
already eat some already in my cereal, but I think I'll buy both bran
and psyllium and give it a try. Thanks.

As you know there is an on-going discussion on what allows a person to
feel full. Obviously, there is a huge psychological component to this
as some people are never full and others seem to eat like birds, and
claim they are stuffed. We with weight problems do not fit into the
latter group. Some say fat, some say carbs, many seem to say protein
is what curbs appetite, so I also eat 6 egg whites a day. They only
have 150 calories. Actually I make a kind of meringue that turns out
more like big marshmallows using Splenda. Of course you could make an
omelet with spray oil and add onions, curry, or whatever tickled your
fancy and that's pretty good too. It does give lots of protein and
seems to help keep me full. No fiber in egg whites of course. I feed 4
egg yolks a day to my border collie mixed in with her dry commercial
dog food. She has a beautiful coat and lots of energy. I hate to waste
food so this seems to work out. You can buy plain egg whites in the
supermarket too, but they are ultrapasturized and taste a little tough
and funny plus don't whip up as nicely. dkw
