I googled it and got these lists from About.com:
Highest Fiber Vegetables
Avocado
Beans
Broccoli*
Brussels sprouts*
Cabbage*
Carrot
Chick Peas/Garbanzo Beans
Eggplant
Greens -- collards, kale, turnip greens*
Lima beans
Mushrooms
Potato with skin
Pumpkin, canned
Peas -- black-eyed peas, green peas
Peppers
Rhubarb
Spinach*
Sweet Potatoes
* These high-fiber vegetables are also goitrogenic, meaning that they promote thyroid enlargement and can potentially cause or aggravate hypothyroidism. Typically, the risk is highest when these foods are consumed raw, regularly, and in substantial quantity. Cooking eliminates most goitrogenic properties.
Highest Fiber Fruits
Apples
Avocado
Bananas
Berries -- Blueberies, Blackberries, Raspberries, etc.
Dried Fruits -- Figs, Raisins, Apricots, Dates, etc.
Guava
Kiwi
Orange
Pears

If you are looking for fiber I would suggest Flax seed. You only need 1 teaspoon of it to get most of the fiber you need for the day. Google it to see all the benefits. You can mix it in with your breakfast or a fruit smoothie if you don't want it straight up. It is the best fiber out there for the low calories.0

I have flax see nearly every day..... it has just 4 grams of fiber per 2 Tablespoons.... thats a far cry from the amount of fiber you need in a day.0
