    You could also experiment with different snack/protein bars or trail mixes and the like. Granola bars have fiber I believe, and then there's the protein bars with specifically added fiber like Quest (with many delicious flavors!) and you could portion out different nut/seed/dried fruit mixes which naturally have a lot of fiber. I think you could easily get 10-20g fiber in within ~200 cal this way!

    Having a bowl of Fiber1 cereal always helps me+ a serving of kidney beans. Fiber1 contains 55% of your daily fiber requirement

    Same here. Thumbs up on FiberOne!

    Beans, Brussel Sprouts, Spinach

    Fiber one products are delicious! However, they use chicory root as their source of fiber, and it gives me horrible stomach upset. Apparently this is very common in a lot of people :-(

    Kellogs Bran Buds. 140 calories for 22g of fiber, it's actually kind of insane.

    I eat two Fiber Gummies a day and try to at least eat one of those Fiber one 90 calorie fiber snacks... I don't always hit my target, but it helps.

    I think I saw it mentioned above, but apples are super for fibre. A decent sized apple with the skin on (150g not including the core) can have 4-5g of fibre in it! I try to eat an apple every day - Honeycrisp and Jazz varieties are delicious, if you can find them :smile:

    Raspberries have quite a bit, I think 8 grams per cup. Oatmeal with a spoon of peanut butter and raspberries is good, and you get fiber from the oats and berries - it has a peanut butter and jelly vibe going on. And you can try different grains and different ways of cooking them. I also don't like brown rice, but I like barley, quinoa, and farro. I like to cook them with broth, Parmesan cheese, and mushrooms - kind of like risotto. Or put them in soup.
    And I second the Thomas English Muffins - they make a few varieties with high fiber that taste good. I use them instead of bread for sandwiches.
