I’m 32 and tracked my fiber for a week mostly out of curiosity.

I was getting like 12g a day.

The recommendation is 25–35g, which honestly explained a lot. I always had mid-afternoon crashes, bloating, and just random stomach stuff I never really thought about.

The tracking apps I tried didn’t really help either. MyFitnessPal tracks fiber, but it’s buried behind calories and macros. Cronometer felt way too detailed for what I wanted.

I basically just wanted an app that told me one thing:

Did I hit my fiber today or not?

So I built one.

It has a daily ring for your fiber goal, barcode scanner, 200+ USDA foods, and a plant diversity score. That last part was kind of surprising to me. A lot of gut health research points to variety per week, not just total grams.

A few honest surprises after using it for ~6 months:

• Getting to 30g isn’t that hard once you realize where fiber actually comes from. Beans, oats, raspberries, chia, avocado, etc.
• Plant diversity was harder for me than the actual fiber goal.
• A lot of packaged “high fiber” foods are not as useful as they make themselves sound.

Would genuinely love feedback on the food database or anything that feels off.

Hello,

I have been trying to recreate recipes from my childhood that my mom or dad used to make. This is the latest I've been trying to find. I do not have a name for it. I just have this image and what I believe it was comprised of. It was a piece of steamed pork, a piece of cooked egg, cilantro, and maybe a steamed green onion tying everything into place. It was eaten with rice. Did anyone else eat anything like this? Possibly with nuoc mam? Is this even a thing or did my mom make something novel?

Thank you everyone in advance!

Found this local gem and had to share! For just over a buck, this plate of Cơm Gỏi Gà (Vietnamese chicken salad rice) is an absolute comfort meal:

The Rice: Cooked in rich chicken broth, golden and flavorful.

The Salad: Tender shredded chicken and crunchy cabbage, topped with a mountain of crispy shallots in a tangy dressing.

The Extras: A fried egg, a comforting bowl of soup, and a thick, sweet-and-savory ginger fish sauce that ties it all together.

…… now available in Melbourne !

As a Filipina this is very new to me. This very first meal here in Vietnam and I’m already blown away. We found this super local spot, and what made it even better was the atmosphere, right in front, there were a few Vietnamese grandmas casually sitting and preparing ingredients. It felt so authentic and homey, like you’re eating at someone’s house rather than a restaurant. I ordered noodles with grilled pork and another bowl of soup noodles, then added all the herbs, chili, and a squeeze of lime, everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. You can really taste how well everything is made. 🤤 And the coffee? So good. Strong, rich, and the perfect way to end the meal.

Doing backpacking, and will stay here to see every places for 3 months, suggest me a good meal! Please.

My mom’s favorite meal. And a banh xeo for anyone who didn’t want fish.
