If you like granola bars....some have a very high fiber content....and it's yummy & doesn't taste like cardboard!

Stonyfield Farms yogurts have 3 grams of fiber I think....they are good & fat free too!

Dietary Guidelines

Scan food labels for bread and cereal products listing whole grain or whole wheat as the first ingredient.
Look for cooked and ready to eat cereals with at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.
Eat raw fruits and vegetables; they have more fiber than cooked or canned foods, or juice. Dried fruits (especially dried figs) are also good sources of fiber.
Increase fiber in meat dishes by adding pinto beans, kidney beans, black-eyed peas, bran, or oatmeal.
Try adding 2-3 tsp. of unprocessed wheat bran to foods such as meatloaf, casseroles, homemade breads, muffins and other baked goods.
Dairy foods provide little fiber. Increase fiber by adding fresh fruit, whole grain or bran cereals, nuts, or seeds to yogurt or cottage cheese.
Chopping, peeling, cooking, pureeing, and processing may reduce fiber content
Substitute oat bran for one third of all purpose flour in baked goods recipes.
Best to eat a variety of foods and not to rely on a fiber supplement
Do it gradually—rapid fiber increase may result in gas, cramping, bloating, or diarrhea.
Drink plenty of fluids—at least 8 cups every day.

Thank you girls

Re: Foods filled with fiber

Gradual adding is KEY. Otherwise it'll have the reverese effect and you don't need that.

Re: Foods filled with fiber

Fiber does not only help you to get regular but also makes you lose weight. You just need to make sure you add fiber slowly to your body so that you don't get discomfort and to make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.
Here is a list that I found for you.

These cookies are a little dry but if you drink lots of fluids with it (a glass at minimum) they really help.

Kashi Cereals

I love the good friends cinnamon raisin. 1 bowl a day should do it for you.

Re: Foods filled with fiber

Fiber One cereal is really good- it looks like twigs but it's slightly sweet. 14 grams of fiber in a half cup which is pretty good. But if you eat too much it'll upset your stomach.

Re: Foods filled with fiber

I eat oatmeal and frosted shredded wheat!
