This is mostly down to personal capacity / preference, but do we all have a limit, or is it possible to lentilmaxx? Like always be eating lentils? I'm certainly eating more fibre than I ever thought possible, so I know it's possible to increase, to a certain point at least.

Personally I can eat them one meal of the day for probably three days in a row before I imagine my colon starts begging for mercy.

Yeah, so what's your number? I can do maybe 3 days in a row if mixed in, or 1 day of predominantly lentils.

It's possible I'm not cooking them enough. It might also just be what I'm making with them. One of my goto "mains" is a spicy red lentil curry.

I also make a kind of dirty rice by mixing red and green lentils with rice, and that I could probably eat for every meal with no ill effect.
