I looked back, and am eating next to no fiber per day! I'd like to compile a list of fiber rich foods. What are some good ones? Thanks!

    Green vegetables like broccoli, spinach, green beans, cabbage, cauliflower, some nuts, apricots, dates, whole grains like bread, porridge, cous cous, kidney beans, oranges, mushrooms.
    I've recently been trying to up my fibre intake too, so researched it a little.

    Beans Beans the miracle fruit!

    I'm also trying to get a lot of protein. A few of those things are protein dense too. Alwesome.

    Thanks so much!

    Dried beans are a great source of fiber, as are nuts, seeds and whole grains. Vegetables and fruit are also good sources to varying degrees. Eating the peel of fruits and vegetables adds extra fiber.

    In for more ideas! I get stuck eating Fiber One bars and All Bran, because I'm not very creative. :grumble:

    Are the corns on my feet caused by eating too much fiber?

    Soluble fibers slow down digestion and help you stay full.

    Sources of soluble fiber: oatmeal, oat cereal, lentils, apples, oranges, pears, oat bran, strawberries, nuts, flaxseeds, beans, dried peas, blueberries, psyllium, cucumbers, celery, and carrots.

    Insoluble fibers add bulk to the diet and help prevent constipation.

    Sources of insoluble fiber: whole wheat, whole grains, wheat bran, corn bran, seeds, nuts, barley, couscous, brown rice, bulgur, zucchini, celery, broccoli, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, green beans, dark leafy vegetables, raisins, grapes, and fruit.

    If you're not a regular fiber eater .....up your fiber gradually. Trying to up it too fast can lead to tummy issues.

    Fiber One Bars - can't say enough about their effectiveness.

    Hummus is also good.

    Pears, a medium pear has 6-8 g of fiber.

    Definitely my favorite fruit.
