Per google:

Fruits:

• Berries: Raspberries, blackberries, and other berries are excellent sources of fiber. 
• Apples and Pears: These fruits are high in fiber, especially when eaten with the skin. 
• Avocado: A good source of both fiber and healthy fats. 
• Other Fruits: Bananas, prunes, and figs are also good options. 

Vegetables:

• Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts: These cruciferous vegetables are packed with fiber. 
• Carrots: A good source of fiber, especially when eaten raw. 
• Other Vegetables: Artichokes, sweet potatoes, and green peas are also high in fiber. 

Legumes:

• Lentils and Black Beans: Excellent sources of fiber and protein. 
• Chickpeas and Split Peas: Good options for adding fiber to soups and salads. 

Nuts and Seeds:

• Almonds and Chia Seeds: A handful of almonds or a tablespoon of chia seeds can provide a good amount of fiber. 
• Other Nuts and Seeds: Sunflower seeds, pistachios, and flax seeds are also good sources. 

Grains:

• Oats: A great way to start the day with a fiber-rich breakfast. 
• Whole Wheat Bread and Pasta: Opt for whole-grain options to increase your fiber intake. 
• Popcorn: A healthy and fiber-rich snack, especially when air-popped.

This thread has a fairly comprehensive list of foods, including both protein and fiber content of each:

Advice: If you need to increase fiber, do it gradually. Don't take a big jump all at once.

Why? Our system can need time to adjust to fiber increase. Take it too fast, and various types of digestive distress can result. Examples: Diarrhea, constipation, gas, etc.

Also be sure to get enough fluids, and some dietary fats, alongside the fiber - same reasons.

We had a "eat 10 veggie servings daily" challenge here on MFP at one point. A few participants went from very few servings to 10+ nearly instantly. Bad things happened. They figured out how to adjust, partly with advice from those of us who'd been eating higher fiber all along, but no one needs to go through that when they can phase fiber in gradually.

Best wishes!

I've been using Fiber Gourmet low calorie, high fiber pastas. They also have riced pasta, crackers and a flour blend. However, I generally prefer to try to get most of my fiber intake from fruits/veggies and grains/nuts.

I try to have legumes (usually chickpeas, black beans or legumes) with at least 1 meal a day, sometimes 2. Also eat loads of sweet potato, fruits, kale and flax seeds, and my fibre is usually around 40 grams a day.
