It might be the algorithms I’m getting (I follow a lot of cooking and some exercise channels) but I’ve never seen a similar obsession about getting enough fiber (something the average person actually undereats.) Is it just less sexy than meat? How important is it nutritionally compared to other things if you’re not an athlete or a vegan or something? Why is a meal that’s “high in protein” often positioned as good and why do you need to “boost” your meals?

Meals high in protein tend to offer more satiety. Higher satiety can lead to less overeating. It seems like protein based foods are often less processed than carb based foods. Protein is used for rebuilding muscles, so that’s a plus.
