I need suggestions on how to get more fiber into my diet, without a lot of calories.

throw a couple tablespoons of Wheat Bran or Oat Bran into your yogurt!!!!

Fiber One cereal is very tasty and lots of fiber. Low calorie.

benefiber... You can mix it into anything as long as it is the tasteless kind

I eat a fiber plus bar for breakfast everymorning with fruit and usually have my Healthy Life 35 calorie bread sandwich with spinich on it instead of regular lettuce and I usually go over my fiber needs for the day.

I just started using benefiber... they suggest using it 3 times a day but I've been using it once a day. 2 tsp is 15 calories so I'm only adding an extra 30 calories a day, but getting more fiber!

Fiber One is a great brand... The fiber one bars are delicious and I love their new 90 calories fiber one brownies!

I use the sugar free metamucil and i do 1 tablespoon every night. Im supposed to do that twice a day but it makes me very bloated and I only take it at night. I would love to find something better, but I need something that is Gluten free.

I like Thomas' English muffins. They have 100 calories with a third of your daily fiber. Instead of putting butter on them, I use low or no sugar jelly. Also, I incorporate flax seed in to anything I can (ground meats), yogurt, and sauces. I like the fiber one products. Just be careful when or if you use the cereals, some of them are a bit high in calories. They recently came out with an 80 calorie cereal that has 10 fiber per serving. Good luck to you!

I look for fiber content and track it on MFP, because it also keeps me from feeling hungry by slowing digestion, a process which also slows the impact of sugars. I add a 1/4c of Fiber One to any cereal and it can also be added to salads and such. I limit bread choices to multigrain or stone-ground whole wheat. Pears are very high fiber but look for small pears to get the fiber with fewer calories.But pears are a great treat, baked or dressed with plain yogurt and cinnamon/nutmeg. Always eat apples/pears with their skins. I use Kamut pasta whenever possible, I replace/avoid white rice and white potatoes with other grains and sweet potatoes. In general, large helpings of veggies will add food fiber.

I use bars lightly because most are high in sugars and salt too . I cut a a Clif bar Oatmeal Walnut Raisin bar into quarters, about 60 calories that are plenty filling due to the fiber content.

I like the oroweat english muffins with Double Fiber.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I just went out and purchased some Benefiber...I'm hoping to sneak it into my dinners and get some more fiber into my husband, lol! Sneaky!

Lentils are high in fiber (11g per serving!), as are many beans. Also, Splenda makes a packet of sweetener that has a gram of fiber in it that's a sugar free way to sweeten tea and coffee and add a gram of fiber or two.

How is fiber one compared to like hearty oatmeal? I need to really hammer the fiber from now on too.

tofeelwell

One cup of oatmeal has 4g fiber. Fiber One has 14g in a 1/2 c serving. Small portions of Fiber One can be used as an add-in fiber bonus to other foods.
