I'm a 20 year old athlete with great physique and am trying to find things that have a great source of fiber for relatively low calories/carb amounts. I found cranberries to be a great source of fiber. Also fiber 1 cereal is great but it has an awful lot of carbs per serving. If there is such thing as a low calorie fiber rich food let me know! Thank you!

    Dark chocolate but that's calorie dense.
    Look at the fiber in 85% dark though.

    I'm not sure what you consider low carb...but Mission brand Carb Balance tortillas/Xtreme Wellness tortillas.

    Berries in general are pretty good.

    I get a lot from vegies, and make sure to keep skin on fruit and vegies to not waste any!

    Beans, lentils, and chick peas have a TON of fiber and are pretty healthy.

    I like Amy's Lentil Vegetable soup (the low in sodium one), it's got 8 grams of fiber per serving (about 1/3 of my daily fiber goal). Or home made lentil soup would be even better.

    100 grams of chick peas has 17 grams of fiber. They are good just with a little lemon juice, salt & pepper. Or add them to salad. Or have some hummus & veggies (hummus is made from chick peas).

    Black beans are good with rice, in tacos, as a side dish...

    Also leafy greens and berries are really good for fiber! Not quite as much as beans but still better than most other foods with very low carbs & no fat.

    I love fiber gourmet... they also make spaghetti, rotini, and macaroni and lasagna noodles

    56g serving is 120 calories, 20g of fiber, 7g of protein and 22 net carbs

    They make high fiber 60 calorie Crackers also.

    If you are american you can order directly from their website.
    I order mine from a canadian supplier.

    Just as im avoiding the 300 calorie piece of lasagna in my fridge you post this...

    You should be getting what you need from a healthy diet.
    If it's not in your diet, pick up some fiber powder that you can add to water or other drinks. It will keep the calories down.

    Sometimes I add physillium powder to my smoothies or protein shakes. I bet it would be good in oatmeal or banana egg pancakes too...

    So does low carb make you constipated? (Am I allowed to even say that?)

    Veggies, in general, are high in fiber. Okra, specifically, is VERY high in fiber.
