Find Other Ways to Add Fiber to Your Diet

Adding fiber to your diet may be easier than you think. Here are some additional tips that can help you get started:

Plan to eat high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, or whole-grain starches at every meal

Eat a variety of high-fiber foods to ensure you get a mix of both types of fiber.

Use snacks to increase your fiber intake by nibbling on higher-fiber foods, such as dried fruits, popcorn, fresh fruit, raw vegetables, or whole-wheat crackers.

Try to eat legumes, or dried beans, at least two to three times per week. Add them to salads, soups, casseroles, or spaghetti sauce.
