How do I track fiber intake?

Hello all. New...again;) I realize early nutrition labels didn't reflect fiber, but that changed awhile ago. Certainly MFP has updated to include fiber considering all of the diabetes/GLP-1/insulin making all the health news boards, but I cannot find it. If the nutrition label information wasn't ever updated to include fiber, where can I enter it on my own daily intake? Sorry, I just can't find how or where to track this info & fat/protein/fiber/sugar ratio at meals (& snacks) to consider insulin impact is helpful.

    Fiber is tracked in MFP based on the fiber data in each food entry. It can be found in the Nutrition tab in the phone/tablet app, or the Reports tab of web browser MFP, or the Full Report option near the bottom of the food diary page in web MFP.

    If you like, you can also customize the columns in your food diary page to show fiber as a column, but you would need to replace some existing column with fiber. Personally, I swapped out Sugar, put in Fiber, since sugar's already included in the Carbs column, and sugar isn't one of my personal concerns. YMMV.

    This is how that looks in the phone app (landscape mode version) and on the web:
