How can i get LOTS of fibre in the smallest amount of food?

babyworms

I really need to increase my fibre intake, but don't know the best way to do it with the least number of calories and foods!

Anyone have any ideas?

Eat lots of vegetables and fruit.

More specifically lentils and red/navy/lima/pinto beans. Be careful though, too much and you'll get gassy

Grandmas old stand by....prunes. Course they are now called 'dried plumes'. Lol...be careful! They are condensed fiber.

cabbage, black beans, whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, whole grain rice, TRISCUITS! there are tons of high fiber foods. there are also supplements you can take. They make some yummy fruit chews, but I'm sure they're high in sugar along with the fiber...

Bran. Flaxseed / linseed. Sprinkle on stuff.

They sell high fiber bars that are pretty good.

of course more fruit, veggies and legumes. I have trouble getting enough fiber and take a supplement that is like a sweet snack - fiber gummies. they are in the store along with all the other fiber fiber supplements. There are some that are by Vitafusion - you can get on line also, and are a weight management also. I don't know how that helps, but they are sugar free. Target, Walgreens and on line Amazon.

This. You can add a couple of teaspoons to your breakfast and you'll bearly notice it.

Although I have read it is best served grounded - so I have a pepper grinder filled with them!

veggies and legumes! If you don't mind supplements- Quest Protein bars , PureTrim Wellness Shakes, and Vemma Bod-e protein drinks. I use all three and love them!

Fiber one yogurts, raw fruits and veggies too

Some hemp powders (Nutiva) provide a ton of fiber and good protein. I usually mix it in a high protein shake. Veggies do a good job as you also get the benefit of adding other vitamins.

Prunes are actually a naturally occurring laxative, so watch out! They don't contain that much fibre, but they do make you have to go!

Chia seeds have 6 grams of fiber per 2 tablespoons (70 calories, 7 carbs). I mix it with a cup of unsweetened almond milk and a few drops of liquid stevia, let it sit for 15 minutes. The chia seeds will thicken up almost like tapioca. It's my nighttime snack :-)

Also, you could try Fiber One cereal. There are a whopping 14 grams of fiber in 1/2 cup and only 60 calories (25 carbs). I use about a 1/3 cup and add it to my tuna or chicken salad in lieu of bread or crackers.

And, like some of the others said, veggies are a great choice!

Hope that helps!

Benefibre is great and has no taste if you are desperate to bump up fibre - a couple of teaspoons in your coffee or glass of water is easily done. Oat bran sprinkled on cereal or mixed into yogurt is another idea. Some protein shakes also have a good level of fibre - but be careful as some have hardly any.

Seconded. I once ate several because they do taste good. Mistake.

A Registered Dietitian recommended them.

Lentils and beans have silly amounts of fibre in them, I'm researching bean and egg dishes for a hearty breakfast choice. I need more fibre as well.

Recently I've been eating oatmeal mixed with whey protein - about 1 cup of this with about 1/2 scoop of whey equals about 40g of fiber. Also, fiber one products, and fiber choice chews are delicious and great (2 is a serving, and you can have up to 5!). Avocados are also great for fiber!
