High Fiber Food

Pears:

An average size pear packs five grams of fiber


Pistachios:

Pistachios have the least amount of calories and fat of all nuts, and a one-ounce serving has three grams of fiber. Toss pistachios into your cereal or yogurt, on top of salads or eat them on their own as a fiber and protein-packed snack

Berries

All berries are a great source of fiber! One cup of antioxidant-rich raspberries has eight grams of fiber and only 60 calories

Artichokes:

An entire artichoke has six grams of fiber and only 60 calories. Next time you have company, whip up your favorite low-fat spinach and artichoke dip for a great boost of fiber. You can also steam an artichoke for a great low-calorie, high-fiber snack.

Lentil Beans:

Next time you're faced with a soup decision, remember this: One cup of lentils contains 16 grams of fiber - - 16 times the amount of fiber in a cup of chicken noodle soup!



Edamame:

Unsure about which appetizer to order at a Japanese restaurant? With eight grams of fiber in just one cup, edamame is a great choice that will fill you up so you don't overeat during the main meal.

Light Popcorn:

Many people wouldn't suspect it, but a serving of popcorn actually packs four grams of fiber. Popcorn is also a good source of whole grains, and because it's popped with air, you fill up on less.

Whole-Grain Cereals:

Whole-grain cereals are a great opportunity to get in 14 grams of fiber early in the morning. A one-half cup serving of Fiber One provides you with 14 grams of fiber -- 14 times more than the amount of fiber in a bowl of Special K. Top a bowl of your favorite fiber cereal with berries and skim milk to feel full and energized until lunch.
