Fiber counting

Hello! I am curious as to why the food diary doesn't include fiber counts. It has protein, carb, etc. but not fiber. Seems like that would be important to include. Thanks.

You can edit what nutrients you track.3

MFP does track fiber, it's just a matter of finding the right screen/view to see the data.
For example, in the android app, hold your phone in landscape mode to view the diary with columns for carbs, fiber, sugar,...1 -

Please remember, entries on MFP are crowdsourced. Many are in error, and many are incomplete and may not even include fiber.
Some people enter only calories, fat, protein and carbs. They don’t bother with the rest.0 -
Thanks so much for your response. I found where you edit the settings and changed mine. I just joined a few days ago. My favorite thing is the circle on the food page that shows the pie parts for protein, carbs and fat. One look and I can see I need to increase protein and lower my carbs.1

Speaking of fiber....would something like a fiber gummy (supplement) make you feel full? What are your thoughts on this?0

I doubt it.
I use psyllium husk daily and a pile of psyllium husk as big as two average sized gummies is not noticeable as far as filling/hungry. And the gummies aren’t pure fiber. There’s other ingredients.
How many grams of fiber does the label say the gummies have?0
