Hi,
Please can anyone share vegetables or other food recommendations that are High in Fiber | Low in Carb and Low in Calories. I started low net carb plan of 40g recently. keeping to a calorie of 1800 or below. I am on target with my net carb and calorie but way behind trying to hit Fiber of 25 - 35 daily. I average 10 -15

High fiber AND low calorie? You're asking for a lot, my friend.
Here's what's surfaced in the past ~90 days of my MFP food logging...
VEG
* acorn squash
* spinach, chard, kale (and all the stuff that looks like this stuff)
* sugar snap peas
FRUIT
* blueberries
OTHER
* mixed mushrooms
* SmartBran by Nature's Path
* popcorn
Tempeh is also really good for fiber and protein but what you and I consider low vs high calorie may differ. Vega (a vegan protein supplement) and Ultimate Daily Cleanse (a fiber supplement) are also weekly mainstays in my MFP food logs.0 -
Some people supplement with psyllium husk for fiber, so that's an option, too. It's sort of a food, i.e., not an artificial additive, if that matters to you.
Personally, I don't . . . but I'm perfectly happy eating 150-200g+ carbs daily at 1850 calories while losing weight, so have no trouble getting enough fiber.1 -
I’m too having the same issue, low carb and struggling to fill my fibre intake. Early stages of diet, so will be tweaking those macros as I progress, to ensure a healthy balance. In the meantime, an extra portion of broccoli and a few a nuts in a controlled portion, I’m hoping will help. Good luck!0

From where do you purchase this cereal?1 -
^^ The grocery store (like most all of them), local health food stores or amazon.ca. I live in an urban area so perhaps that's why it's easy for me to find? 🤷🏿♀️0

MaltedTea- oftentimes I wish that Ilived ina bigger city- esp. for purchasing certain food- due to arthiritis- I try to be dairy free as much as possible- and there are so few choices where i live here in Ga- Would love that cereal you mentioned1

None of the stores around me sell it. I checked Amazon (I live in US) and their price is exorbitant. Nature Path's website is "out of stock" when I check it. Oh well. Thank you for getting back!!0 -
I love filling up on spaghetti squash and zucchini. Low calories and filling as heck.2

I checked Walmart.com (US site) but it's out of stock (errm, for a bulk purchase of a dozen boxes. I like it but it's not THAT serious). Walmart.ca (Canadian site) allows you to purchase one box at a time like a normal person.
Yet, there are many other fiber-ish kinds of cereals out there. For example, Kellogg's All Bran Buds are very similar to Nature's Path Smart Bran and just as tasty.

Thank you for checking @MaltedTea! So sweet of you. I "burned out" of All Bran Buds and wanted to try something different. Sounds like they are pretty similar. Thanks for the insight!👍😊1
