Um, where's a good source for finding out fiber content of foods? Is there a section on here?
Thanks!
Use the per 100g setting to make a fairer comparison than per cup. http://nutritiondata.self.com/0 -

Go under settings and you can add the fiber reading on to your diary.
Thank you!0 -
Beans, fruits, and veggies, and not everyone will agree, since these others are processed foods, but:
Quaker high fiber instant oatmeal
Fiber One Bars
Thomas Light 1/3 daily fiber English muffins0 -
Fiber One brand foods (that's the easy way out lol). I like their bread.0

Avacado0

Vegetables and whole grains.0

Great fiber supplement to take each morning, called (ahem), Colonix, available on drnatura.com
Stir -fry veggies!
A fruit in season in the winter called apple persimmon....fantastic fiber.
Fruits and veggies.
Brown rice....0 -
Oatmeal, whole grain old fashioned with blueberries and nuts.
Healthy Life 35 calorie whole wheat bread
Greens
Roasted vegetables. I make red bell peppers/mushrooms/onions with almost every meal that I grill or stir fry.
Brown and wild rice
Beans, I prefer green beans though.
Broccoli, but make sure you take Beano!
Apples and oranges
Tomatoes
Whole grain pastas
Sometimes I take metamucil capsules but I think one whole 'serving' is 6 pills! I usually only take 2 and prefer to get my fiber from natural foods instead.0 -
I find avocados and lentils to be especially helpful in getting lots of fiber.0

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.0 -

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.0

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).0

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.0
