    I find avocados and lentils to be especially helpful in getting lots of fiber.

    A well balanced diet. It shouldn't be too difficult. Whole grains, fruits, etc.

    This. Raw vegetables. I'm almost always over on fiber because I eat vegetables with every meal.

    That's a ridiculous amount of fiber! But I go for psyllium husks (stirred into water or juice) when I need more. Otherwise, BEANS, pulses and legumes, whole grains, plenty of veg including smaller baked potatoes with skin and fruits do the trick to get me to 23+. I do favor higher fiber choicest like raspberries, raw bell peppers, quinoa etc - you can compare content if that's your goal, of course.

    Raw fruits and veggies, beans, fiber one cereal. Read labels on any whole grain product and choose the one with the most fiber (an old WW trick).

    High fiber breakfast cereals (I use Aldi's Get Balance cereals), apples, pears, bananas, beans, 100% whole grain breads and pastas, high-fiber tortillas, brown rice, etc...For sandwiches I use Sandwich Thins or something similar that has 5-6 grams of fiber per roll. I don't have any trouble getting 25-30g of fiber a day. Also, FWIW, fiber bars with chicory root do not agree with my digestive system. They're tasty...but painful. :/
