    Most requirements your body needs are over days and weeks, so it would handle things nutritionally just fine.

    As far as microbiome and bowel movements go? Most people need more dietary fiber than they’re getting already. As long as you keep that up so you’re regular and not gassy, you’d be fine.

    After all, the human body is able to graze on roots and berries and eat a big fatty meaty meal once a week, or survive solely on meat and fat and water for 8 months of the year. Macronutrient division by meal is well within that spectrum.

      What’s concern about gas? I was under the impression fiberous foods lended themselves to gas production?

      [off topic?]

      Since you mentioned fiber, I decided to give a plug for wheat germ.

        I’d recommend sweet peppers and dried fruit (i like apricots) as snacks for fiber. still tastes great, is healthy, and will help with ‘regularity’, if needed.

          fruit salad (pineapple, apples, oranges, grapes) is pretty cheap and amazing when you make it every week from the fruit on sale/in season.
