im on a high fiber diet. any suggestions other than oatmeal and broccoli.

I think the Kellogg's Fiber Plus bars are a real treat. Veggies in general are good fiber, so are fruits. You could also take a supplement like metamucil.

Here is a link to a list of high fiber foods :-)

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/high-fiber-foods/NU00582

Looking at this list and going with what I personally like...

*Rasberries
*Strawberries
*Wheat pasta
*Beans, lentils, peas!!!
*Artichokes


You can do Google searches for "high fiber foods" to get more lists probably, but here's a start!

I would suggest Fiber One Cereal in Caramel Delight. It's the only Fiber one I can eat, but I love it. It smells really sweet, but it's not actually as sweet as it smells. I definitely steer clear of drinking the milk afterwards too.. want to avoid any sugar from it. Also, as a snack & a treat, try the no sugar added jelly belly jellybeans. They are just as good (better, I think) than the regular ones and they contain a lot of fiber because of the sugar alcohol substitute. The fiber holds it all together. BEWARE.. do not eat a whole bag.. even a whole little bag. There's even a warning on the front of the bag. I like to portion them out and give myself one serving of them. I am not a jellybean fan, but they are great. Apples are also a great source of fiber.. an apple a day could help keep your doctor away! Hope these help and good luck.

According to this site, I get about 35 grams of fibre a day. Here are my faves:

beans (try a white bean soup with carrots and kale or a homemade black bean soup with corn and red pepper)
grains (barley, bulgur, millet and quinoa are my favourites and wonderful as a side dish with grilled fish)
fruits and veggies (apples and raspberries are loaded with fibre)
whole wheat bread
wheat germ
ground flaxseed

I often make a smoothie with fruits, veggies and ground flaxseed. It's so good!

The best thing about fibre-rich foods is that they are also packed with other vitamins and minerals as well.

maybe it sounds silly, I bought a container of just a fiber powder and I mix a tablespoon into a drink in the morning...it's got 6 grams of fiber- i mix it with 8 ounces of water and a half of one of the sugar free drink mix packets (single serve). I also like the double fiber wheat breads as toast, I will add wheat bran to my oatmeal and cereal for extra fiber, on cereal the texture is kinda weird but I tell myself its good for me. There are a lot of yogurts out there now with higher amounts of fiber as well. Whole wheat egg noodles are about 210 calories per serving, but they have around 38 -40 grams of carbs and 6 grams of fiber. Ronzoni smart taste pasta is a good source of fiber. Boca burger all american grillers (yum) also good. Sorry to be a fiber nerd...check out my food log if ya want : )

not to get into too much detail, but plain old fashioned cheerios seem to work wonders for me. by far the most effieicnt thing i eat to keep it "regular". has anyone else had this experience?

junipuni

How many grams of fiber are you aiming for per day? I usually get somewhere between 30-40. I do the high fiber oatmeal in the morning (10g), a sandwich with sandwich thins (4 g) for lunch, fiber one bar for snack (9g) and then a variety of fruit (orange, apple, banana) and that gets me pretty close to that total. Add in veggies, and other foods and it will pile up. Those are the things I generally eat everyday though. HTH

laurasimmons

I like the fiber powder mixes that you can put in your water.

melgibson

Apples!!

Ryvita! (do you get that in the US?!) :huh:

FireMonkey

Ryvita or Wasa are both good. But there are different kinds and some have more fiber than others - read the label! :drinker:
