Ever since I began eating for nutrition instead of the joy of gorging on fats and sweets: breads mostly; I noticed that I can easily get by on 2000 calories per day. Prior to this new found wisdom, I'd average 4000-5000 per day--hence the major weight gain over the past 5 years.
Well I mentioned fiber especially (the Metamucil is fiber based) because it is harmless as far as weight gain, and probably is good for us, but eating something high in fiber could show up on the scale.
