Not too long ago, a discussion about how much fiber and protein each of us on the editorial staff actually consumes led to what we now have dubbed The Fiber-Protein Challenge. The premise is for each of us to track how much protein and fiber we consume in a day to make sure we are meeting the daily recommended goals.
My original plan was to get some poster board to display our consumption and help us all to encourage one another. Although I haven’t done that yet, my plan is to get it going before the holiday rush hits. Until then, it’s been more of a fun, casual exchange asking each other whether we hit our goals. Luckily for us (and anyone else who wants to do their own challenge), fortified products have made it much easier to meet these goals.
