    Try Metimucil or something like that. Easy way to get more fiber.

    I'm disagreeing because I recently went through looking closely at fibre to up my intake a lot.

    Metamucil has 3g of fibre per server. That's it, 3. And is about 20 calories. An apple generally has around 5 grams and is way tastier. Granted is 80 calories. An apple also has a huge amount of additional benefits.

    I started adding metamucil but when I realised that I can just get fibre from what I was already eating by tweaking a bit, I'm much happier.

    I mean 3g of fibre is ridiculous.

    I get what you are saying. I just looked at container and it says 6g of fiber for 30 calories (which is 2 teaspoons). It seems to help me but I do agree eating more fruits and veggies is the way to go.
