I use a variety of beans, lentils and nuts usually to fill up on fiber, plus they usually have a good deal of protein too. Other than that, lots of fruits and veggies, the 1-2 grams per serving add up over the day

well obviously fruits and vegs in general but otherwise, nuts are great, so are seeds (a bit of chia seeds and pine nuts when you cook vegs for instance), whole-wheat bread, kidney beans, quinoa and lentils, avocados!

If you do the 5 fruit or veg a day then you will mostly get there. Fibre is important and is mostly found in unprocessed foods.

What worked for me was drinking a smoothie once a day with berries. They are high in fiber and you get a lot in a smoothie. Good luck!

Swap your white flour food items for whole wheat or multi-grain ( breads, muffins, pasta, etc ).
Leave on/eat the skin from your potatoes.
Brown rice.
Popcorn.
Oatmeal.

You also have supplement options ( psyllium husk, etc ), if you wish to go that route. Check your local drug store/pharmacy isle.
