Fiber

Fruits and veggies. If you eat your fruits and veggies, you won't have a problem getting enough fiber. They're also packed full of lovely vitamins and minerals that we require.

IMO, raspberries are the yummiest high-fiber food.

To me it seems like I eat a good amount of fruits and veggies, but never hit my fiber goals. I eat Fiber One bars sometimes which are pretty yummy, but they make me gassy

I agree. I always eat above the recommended servings of vegetables, but only about half the time does that get me to the recommended fiber goal. Plus, I have mine set higher so most days I eat things like flax, Bran Buds and Fiber Gourmet to hit my goal.

I also agree about Fiber One bars and gas.

I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. But I agree you won't get there without some high fiber grains too. I like to mix Kashi Go Lean with Fiber One for breakfast. I also found a brand of wraps that I use for sandwiches (Tumarro) that pack 7-9 grams of fiber in a variety of flavors, wheat to chia, to flax, etc. Instead of rice or potatoes, I like Kumut, Farro, Barley, quinoa, Freekah that can be used as side dishes to up the fiber. When I do have rice, I try to use black (not the same a wild rice) since it typically has more fiber that their more mainstream counterparts. My local grocery store carries them in the their health market/organic section of the store. If you are willing to consider food choices off the beaten path there are great finds out there...

I typically have no issue meeting my fiber goals unless I include too many processed or restaurant foods in my diet.
