Fiber!

dwcarter1

I need more fiber in my diet, I am very picky. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to get good fiber in my diet on a daily basis?

Whole foods generally give you fiber. Whole grains, fruits, veggies, beans, legumes, seeds.

Don't try for dramatic fiber increases in a short period of time or you could be very uncomfortable.

Quest bars. Berries. Lots of veg.

I get 10 g of fiber with my breakfast smoothie:

Chewable Inulin Fiber gummies. Pure soluble fiber, which is the only kind you want. Most other fibers are insoluble, which tear up your intestinal tract and cause bloat.

Creamette 150 pasta. Tastes great, has good mouth feel, and a LOT of fiber. Like 13g / 2 oz serving, iirc.

I eat grape nuts regularly, too. A teaspoon of sugar and half cup of milk make them palatable. That's 7g fiber for breakfast. 10 if I add a banana.

Avocados, if you like them. Most fruits will give you 3-4 g/serving, but half an avocado is 7.

Home made minestrone soup. Slurp.

This is super specific, but I recently have been eating a wrap called the Tumaro's Skip the Sandwich, and they're 60 cals and 7g fiber. Just an alternative to the well-known sources of fiber.

High fiber breakfast cereals. I am also a fan of flaxmeal and chia seeds.

+1 on the Creamette 150 pasta.

I used to do fiber one bars until I realized they made me incredibly gassy and uncomfortable

Quest bars. Because they have 20g of fibre in one bar, consider having 1/2 as morning tea and 1/2 as afternoon tea rather than 20g fibre (& 200 calories) at once particularly if you're not used to much fibre. Raspberries are fabulous. I used to sprinkle all bran cereal on my yoghurt or add it to my oats.

Lentils are a great source of both fibre and protein, nice added to soups, stews, in salads or as a side dish cooked in stock with herbs and olive oil

while i like natural foods like beans or veggies or cereal like miniwheats or kashi, i also use fiber gummies especially for low fiber days.

Thanks for the great advice, I do use the Fiber gummies on a daily basis for the last month. Still not enough. I have never tried raspberries before, so I will give them a shot!
