    I was looking around at some more vegetables that are higher in fiber. It's caloric dense but a medium potato has 5g of fiber. A cup of jicima has 6g. A cup of summer squash has 5g. A cup of green bell peppers has 3g. A cup of cauliflower has 3g. I'd load up on beans and legumes too they pack such a great fiber punch. This has been a good post though I've realized that some of my veggie choices arent the highest.

    Some more to add.. artichoke 10g, peas 8gm, turnips 5g, sweet corn 4g, brussel sprouts 4g, Now the mayo clinic is saying a cup of boiled broccoli has 5g, but when I looked on the Self nutrition data site it agreed with what you had found.

    Great information...thank you so much!
