Fiber foods, not starches...

OK, so that hardly makes sense, but I'm looking for foods that have good fiber that aren't pastas, breads, rice and so forth.   I know some fruits are supposed to be good in fiber like I think apples.   Anyone have any other suggestions?

Oh, I know this answer. Hold on... I'll snag you a whole list!

Snag me a list to, I wanna know also...

Nymo dont forget, everyone says bread isnt good for you, well that's WRONG!!! :)

SHWEEEET  thanks for the list!

Oh I know bread isn't bad... Just if I get my grubby lil hands on some, I tend to go waaayyy overboard!

*tags post*

no, bread isn't bad, but I used to eat an entire loaf of french bread at a sitting with olive oil and balsamic vinegar... then I wondered why my clothes were so tight.  Someday I may try logging that just to see how many cals it was... naaaahhh... i don't need to know!

I'm a baker

I love eating bread too,  but feel I have to avoid it now that I want to lose weight.  I did make bread that is very high in fiber but you could only stand to eat one piece it was so earthy tasting

a few good snacks with lots of fibre in our dried fruits particuarly prunes and apricots but dont eat too many cos they can add up to be quite calorific and sugary and nuts.

Love whole grain bread. I sometimes ate an entire loaf a day. Added it up.. and decided that I should just eat salad for the rest of the day. It worked. :P

Fiber Gourmet pasta...high fiber, low calorie.

I'm doing exactly the same way - searching for foods that are high in fibre but low in carbs.  Today I found a new cereal bar manufactured by Nature Valley:  it has 5g fibre and only 24g carbs per bar.  It also has Omega 3 and Omega 6 and low sodium at 80g.

ARTICHOKES = #1!!!!!!

Old fashioned oatmeal, not the quick cook kind, are high in fiber and only 150 cals. per 1/2 cup (dry).   Cook in only 5 minutes.

Oroweat has a new bread out called Double Fiber bread.  It has 6g of fiber, 4g of protein and only 70cal per slice.  And very hearty, not a lowcal version at all.  It's very tasty!

Fiber One cereal has 14 grams in a 1/2 cup serving.

 I love Oroweat! I get the Double Fiber english muffins! I would have half of one with a tbs peanut butter with a piece of fruit at breakfast! Real tastey and just 110 for both slices of the english muffin!

Your best source of fibre is from real, whole foods, such as those contained in the list above from Lollipop.  Real whole foods not only contain fibre, but a host of vitamins, minerals, micro and macronutrients we need for good health.  Bread is a wonderful convenience food but it's also very high in calories pound for pound and not very filling.  A half pound of broccoli for example is about 80 calories.  A half pound of bread is over 500 calories.  If a bread has less calories, it's not magic bread, it's simply less bread because it has more air pockets, it's sliced thinner etc.   Whole wheat flour has the same calories per cup in every recipe.  So less calories just means less flour used per slice.

that's not true all the time, actually.  Some breads just have a lot of additives of fiber in them that they end up weighing the same with fewer calories.  So the Oroweat double fiber bread actually weighs almost the same as the regular version, but has fewer calories.

Dried figs are the kings (among fruit) - 10% fibre.

Raspberries 6%, fresh figs 3%, apples, even with the skin, only 2%.

A whole apple, which is about a cupful with 60 calories has 3 grams of fibre...how is that 2%?

A cupful of figs is 500 calories and 20 grams of fibre.   Pound for pound, apples have slightly more fibre than figs.  

Technically you are right Sakura if the bread is partially made with a concentrated fibre source.  If I remember correctly, Oroweat uses oat fibre to get the fibre content up, in addition to the whole wheat flour.  But the difference is only 10-15 net calories per slice, not that significant to me.  

Yeah I was just about to say, 3 medium figs are 120 calories with 4 grams of fibre, and one medium granny smith apple is 80 calories with 5 grams of fibre. Apples win. :D
