Lots of fruit & veg. Porridge is my main source, along with mushrooms, avocado & wholewheat bread and any pulses you can eat.
It is quite difficult to combine high fibre & low carb, leafy greens are your best bet if you need to do this.

Click to expand...

50 to 175g/day of protein is a normal range depending on exercise levels. You seem moderately active so 100 to 120g / day would seem about right.
How to Calculate How Much Protein You Need (verywellfit.com)
There are many sites with good information. This one seems as good as any. Just avoid the body building ones as they seem to push high protein intake.
