    Lazy meals, open a can of black beans, put about 1/2 cup of beans
    on top of corn tortilla chips, add a large spoon of cottage
    cheese and, complete the dish with salsa. This is fast and, filling.
    Yes, there is PUFA in there. Too, the beans aren’t considered great
    for increasing your metabolism. Yet, the cottage cheese does have
    sat fat and, protein. :)

    MikeJ,

    Hey, I completely relate to the constipation issue. Some things that
    have helped me; Taking large doses of vitamin C, eating lots of white
    rice, avoiding or, severely limiting fruits and veggies. You might like
    to read the book “IBS-FREE AT LAST” by Patsy Catsos, MS, RD, LD This
    book helped me figure out my threshold for fruits and veggies. I
    eat (maybe) one serving of fruit per day and, one veggie.

    Too, supplementing with magnesium can help. But, it tends to make
    me feel draggy. Less water, more sugars, white rice, walking and,
    a hot cup of coffee in the morning, these all help me. I hope you
    find something useful here. I have lived my life with constipation.
    It is still something I have to think about daily.

    I should add tea. Tea constipates me.
