A couple of 'add ins' might help youse guys. Buy a bag of chia (ch-ch-ch-chia!) and add a spoonful of chia seeds to your morning oatmeal (you do eat oats, right? If not, start. Good for your gut, literally). I'm diabetic so I eat 'low sugar' instant oats every morning - to a bowl of these instant oats I add a couple of tablespoons of oat bran, a tablespoon of chia seed. Pour in extra boiling water, stir and let this sit for 2 or 3 minutes, stir every now and then. The chia seeds 'gel' and thicken up w/the oats, soon it's a nice thick gruel - w/about 9 grams of fiber. A good start on the day. If you don't need to do the low-sugar thing, use whatever flavor oats you like. There's a hi-fiber variety, with the add ins you'll have about 16 grams of fiber to start your day.
Another good-for-what-ails-you meal - add a lb of split peas and a 48oz box of chicken broth to your crock pot before you go to bed, set it on 'hi'. Wake up, change the setting to 'low' and add a can of ro-tel, a can of chick peas or any canned bean you like (rinsed well!) big pinch of thyme, crushed red pepper. Go to work, come home and chop an onion and 4 or 5 cloves of garlic. Add any peppers you have, chopped. Heat a lot of olive oil - say 3 tablespoons - in a skillet, add your chopped onion, cook for 3 minutes. Add your garlic, cook for a minute or so and add 2 or 3 TBL of curry powder, 1 TBL of chile, 1 of cumin seed. Stir for a few minutes, add to your pot of peas. I add a can of chicken broth or beef broth if the peas are too thick (I use this to rinse any remaining spices out of my skillet into the peas) Make some rice or buckwheat 'kasha' now and when it's done ladle grain in the bowl, add some of the dal (that's what they call this stuff) and dig in. IF it's not hot enough, add some hot sauce. Push it around w/bread of your choice, I like middle eastern flatbread - whole wheat if I can get it. You can also add marinated onions (red or sweet white onions, sliced thin, splash w/red wine vinegar and let this set for 2 minutes or so before you eat). I skip the rice due to my diabetic diet, but the peas are good for what ails me. You won't be far-from-poopin - and this doesn't make ME all gassy, YMMV. I eat this every week or so, I may just be used to it. Tasty, cheap, hi-protein, hi-fiber. Spicy, the way I make it. Enjoy.

sorry Omega 3 - see below ---
It's easy to get mixed up between omega-3 and omega-6; basically, omega-3 acids are the fats which are not so easy to come by. They're in fish oils, flax seeds, kiwi seeds, and chia seeds, amongst other things. Omega-6, on the other hand, is found almost everywhere you look: nuts, vegetable oils, avocadoes, etc. As important as omega-6 oils are to our health, the balance of omega-3 to omega-6 is equally important. As it is so easy to consume plenty of omega-6, it is very easy to end up with an unbalanced consumption of the two types of oils, which are also known as essential oils. When it comes to the amount of omega-3 oil in various seed oils, the chia seed has the highest content, just above kiwi seeds, perilla and flax.
