    I usually go over on my fiber and had to raise my fiber intake. Mfp is set pretty low. Oatmeal, broccoli, fresh fruit (strawberries 8gms per serving) high fiber cereals, pinto beans, popcorn, nuts. Hope this helps. Good luck to you:)

    Looking through my diary, these are the things that make up most of my fibre:-
    - bran flakes or fruit and fibre breakfast cereal
    - bananas, apples (and one day a melon and grape mix, probably the grapes)
    - dried raisens
    - some vegetables - aubergine, carrots, broccoli, avocado

    as well as that
    - dates, prunes - as juice, mixed in with yoghurt, or dried/fresh

    Completely agree with this............................

    There is no need to supplement if you're eating plenty of fruit and veg!!

    I eat almost nothing but fruit and veg, but only seem to make about 25g of fiber a day

    I have raised mine, as it was set too low IMO.

    Hi there...alot of the veggiesm fruits and root veggies have more than enough that our bodies need. If u consume too much fiber (as in graining carbs) could lead to digestive disorders such as IBS, Leaky Gut Syndrome etc..The USDA recommends too much fiber if u ask me..
