    Here are some suggestions i found


    Lentils and Beans
    Lentils and beans are some of the best sources of fiber. One cup of cooked black beans or lentils provides just over 15 grams of fiber---almost half the daily recommended intake for a man. Split peas, lima beans and baked beans are also good sources.


    Artichokes
    Artichokes are high in fiber. One medium artichoke adds 10.3 fiber grams to your diet.


    Raspberries
    Raspberries have more fiber content than many other fruits. In fact, one cup of raspberries provides a whopping 8 grams of fiber.


    Whole Grains
    Whole grains in general contain a lot of fiber, especially pearled barley, oat bran, oatmeal, brown rice and popcorn. One cup of cooked pearled barley offers 6 grams of fiber.


    Peas
    Peas are another vegetable with a lot of fiber content. One cup of cooked peas provides nearly 9 grams of fiber.

    haha I almost just said "invest in some Quest bars..."

    Fiber in oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, some yogurts and you can even buy some mix to add into these food items as well.
