My highest weigh-in was today at 144.6 wich is 2lbs over last week's average. After tracking my fiber for a few weeks it looks like I usually get =or more than 50 grams of fiber daily. My bowel movements have been irregular, and i have to force them most of the time. Should I reduce the calories slightly or just lower the fiber and see if that's what is causing my rapid weight gain?
