Hi folks - I am wondering if anyone can help me list fruits, vegetables or any other food which are high in fibre but low in sugar.

I have so far
-Broccoli (raw or lightly steamed)
-Rasperry (raw)
-Spinach (raw)
-Beans (cooked no sugar)

    Typically, leafy greens and vegetables "above ground" are low in sugar, like asparagus, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, etc. probably the "winner" in the low sugar high fiber category is avocado?

    yep I have avocado :)

    I eat about 1 every week - but I am told today that I still dont have enough fibre in my system.....which is bloody annoying as I already eat spinach every day, berries (in season) , wholegrain bread (1 slice every day) brown rice, nuts and plenty of fruit (banana, melon, whatever in the season).....still..."not enough" I was told....

    Hi sydneybeachgi,

    I know you are asking for high fibre, low sugar recommendations - I found this on the net which I think should help you. It lists the low, medium and high carb content - you should be able to work out the sugar content by reading the lists - hope it helps? :)

    Quest bars give you about 17g fibre per bar. They're an all natural protein/fibre bar with some pretty good tasting flavours to!

    Natural? It's a bar. Or is it the fruit of the quest tree?

    Add a teaspoon of ground flax seeds to your oatmeal and you have two fiber-rich foods in one meal!
