So how are YOU gettin' it?

[Lboogie]

Fiber....how are ya'll getting your fiber in?

I've been taking Metemucil but I don't like the grit too much.

I eat foods with fiber, but at the end of the day, I'm usually under so I grab a glass of Metemucil.

I was just thinking the same bc I have been slacking as of late.

In the past, oatmeal for breakfast. Salad for lunch. Side of crunchy veggie with dinner (broccoli, coleslaw, etc.). You can also mix fiber into your yougurt. As well as cutting out all juice and eating the fruit instead. So instead of OJ, I would reach for an orange. Same with apples, grapefruit, etc.

Wholegrain foods.

Fibre-rich veggies.

Sometimes I take a fibre supplement.

I've been really slacking when it comes to fiber lately but normally I eat oatmeal, salads, broccoli etc... as well as take supplements like Benefiber...

[FlowerHair]

Lots of fruits and veggies with & between meals + muesli and bran in the morning.

Brown rice and whole grain bread is good too :)

[~~HoneyComb~~]

Whole grain breads (they have brands that have up to 6 grams of fiber per slice)

Beans (they pack the most punch when it comes to fiber)--try to incorporate them in your diet a few times a week--you can get between 7-10 grams of fiber per 1/2 cup serving depending on the type of bean.

If you like avocados, they are loaded with fiber--14 grams per avocado--you can make guacamole with them or use them in a salad (I try to eat 1/2-1 daily)

Veggie burgers (Boca) has lots of fiber (up to 6 grams per patty)--you can use these to make meatless spaghetti sauces, and use like ground beef in tacos, etc.

Ezekiel cereal has about 6 grams of fiber per half cup.

Oatmeal (not the packaged stuff) has lots of fiber (up to 4 grams per serving).

These are a list of things that has the most fiber per serving. If you can incorporate a few of these things in your diet daily, you can get the recommended amount of fiber you need in your diet.

I posted these numbers in the Belly Fat Cure Challenge thread on 6/22/09:

My fiber came from avocado (13g), spinach (5g), edamame (5g), almonds (4g), tortilla (4g) and celery (1g) = 32 total grams of fiber.

I ate the whole avocado [dinner]
1.5 cups of spinach [lunch, spinach salad with boiled egg and blue cheese dressing]
1 cup of shelled edamame (approx 1/3 of the package which has 3 servings) [snack #2]
1/4 cup of natural raw almonds (25 almonds) [snack #1]
1 wrap-itz lo-carb wheat tortilla (I found this at Giant) [lunch, tuna wrap]
2-4 inch pieces of celery [dinner, hot wings w/ blue cheese]

multigrain/honeynut cheerios
silk soymilk with fiber
double fiber whole grain bread
stonyfield or fiber one yogurt
salad for lunch or with dinner

i love beans which are high in fiber and protein so i eat beans often- rice and beans, bean burritos, black beans, bean burgers, bean and corn salad, add beans to my veggies, etc
oatmeal
i love pasta so whenever the whole-wheat/whole-grain pastas are on sale i buy those
