Anyone have any easy to go to options to add to your meals/snacks to really help raise daily fiber counts, yet not too many carbs? Thanks so much in advance.

    Berries are a lower carbohydrate fruit and some of them have a lot of fiber (blackberries and raspberries come to mind). Avocado was another one with a fiber count that surprised me -- 1 cup of avocado has about 10 grams of fiber and only 12 carbohydrates.

    Veggies! All the veggies! zucchini, mushrooms, cucumber, celery,and lettuce are lower carb options. I also enjoy broccoli, green beans, and Brussel sprouts. Another favorite to sneak into my meals is riced cauliflower. I mix it with real rice, use it as a sub, and mix it in with oats.

    Fiber is basically a type or component of carbs, so adding fiber means adding carbs, or at least choosing specific carbs I guess! I'd second what has already suggested - berries, beans, and lentils. Never noticed that about avocados - cool!
