Food 'n' Fiber

Does anyone have higher fiber food items you are enjoying either as part of meals or snacks?

I get mine from a green supplement. I also love my veggies for fiber.

Just trying to eat greens at every meal.

I try not to snack, but for fiber during meals it's usually avocados and greens (most often spinach) since most other fiber sources are not Keto friendly. If you are sticking to Keto, your body produces less waste so you don't need as much fiber as is usually recommended (from what I have read)

Thank you all. I'm just over 1 month in with Keto. No real "issues" except for my potassium levels and fiber levels being lower than daily recommended value. Love avocados and salads... also just added Cacao Nibs which have so much fiber there is only 1 carb left in a serving. The nibs are... well, different... but I'm committed.

You are likely getting more potassium than you think (unless you are speaking of specific medical test results). In the USA, potassium was not a requirement on food nutrient labels so most entries do not have potassium listed. The gov't did enact a regulation that all food mfg with sales over $XX million were to include potassium on the labels by July of 2018. Manufacturers started to roll into new labeling to meet the July deadline then the US gov't backed off on the date and no new date has been established.
