No nuts because allergies in the house. No (or extremely limited) strawberries or eggplant because allergies also.

I'll see about experimenting with other stuff later.

Beans are just gross. Blech. Like peas, all mushy.

Ever tried cooking them from scratch? They don't have to be that way, nor do they have to be complicated or time-consuming.

Have you tried potato skins? When we make mashed potatoes, I save the peel and roast it with olive oil. Delicious and crispy, and a fiber bomb.

I get way too much fiber, so maybe I can help, LOL.

Do you eat bread or wraps? I get so much fiber just by eating a few low calorie wraps a day. 7-10g fiber per wrap.

Most protein bars have 14-18g fiber per bar. I eat a few a day.

Do you like pumpkin?

Most "protein snacks" like chips , cookies, bars, etc. all have high fiber.

Fiber One cereal will do the trick if you just wanna get your fiber stats up. It doesn't taste bad either, especially if you mix it with vanilla protein powder.

Are you having digestive issues? Is there a reason you're wanting more fiber? I've read stuff saying the recommendations are overblown.

If you are having digestive issues: baby carrots are magic!

In the U.S., baby carrots are just carved-up regular carrots, and because of that they rot a lot faster than a carrot left whole with its surface unbroken. So anything that a baby carrot does for your digestion, a regular carrot should do just as well, without paying more for the convenience of food that's heading down hill fast.
