How do I get more fiber? I eat a lot of veggies (except for today!) and some fruit, also bran, and benefiber. But it is JUST not enough.
What do you do to get more??

    had a wee nosy at your diary, if you have time try making your own soup you'll get much more form the fresh veggies in there. I think alot of the time on here the fibre hasn't been entered on stuff so you're probably getting more than you think. i'm usually always over my fibre goal, unfortunatelly i'm always over my fat goal too :(

    20-25g a day is probably enough for a 1400 calorie diet. I get around 30ish, you can check my diary and see where it comes from.
