Need help with FIBER

I eat Bob's High Fiber cereal or their Oat Bran which is high fiber although not as much.
Also Kashi Go Lean (fiber twigs etc) cereal if one prefers cold cereal over hot, and for a change I'll have Fiber One original (twigs) which is less fiber also less calories and less protein.
If you have a Trader Joe's by you, their Blueberry as well as Cranberry Apple mini fiber cakes/muffins (80 cals, 12g fiber) and are quite tasty (they freeze well also).
I also eat Atkins bars as snacks and some are high in fiber (& protein) as well.0 -
The veggies like Broccoli, beans, peas and fruits,Bran, nuts are rich in fiber and are great options food for breakfast. You can add them into to your favorite foods like hot cereal, cookies,smoothies and pancakes etc.

For me i like eating brown rice, broccoli and sprouts to up my fibre intake. If i need a booster then i have some powdered vitafiber that i can add to a protein shake and as a snack in the evening i'll treat myself to a portion of bowl loosening pitted prunes.0

This is a great list of fiber contents

That link won't work!
Google "Mt Sinai fiber" and you'll find a huge list of fiber contents of foods.

Veggies
fruits
beans
nuts
whole grains
Non-starchy vegetables are likely going to be the least calorie-dense option for increasing fiber intake.
Basically this is it! Adding flax meal to smoothies or having flaxmeal pancakes. Theresalso a way to make a low carb tortilla with ppsyllium husk eggwhites and salt n pepper thats pretty good fiber too but drink alot of water with psyllium cause it can cause a blockage (think metamucil) if not enough water is taken with it0 -
blackberries, raspberries, strawberries (can get a little expensive though)
green veggies including greens
grains are ok, but a lot of products will have a lot of calories for the fiber or have the protein/fiber "refined" and concentrated for their product (not that there's anything wrong with that).
beans
It's good to have both insoluble and soluble fiber forms, with soluble being most available from veggies/fruit per calorie.
Other fruits have some fiber, but replacing a serving of apples or bananas (the most consumed in America) with berries will go a long way to adding fiber to your diet if you like fruit.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions. I am adding flax to a lot of dishes now. I'll add more berries, too! The Ezeikel bread is a great idea. I already have some in the freezer that I forgot I had. Thanks all!
