I love the Mission Carb Balance Burrito Tortilla Wraps... I don't know how 'processed' it is - probably comparable to bread, but it has 200 calories and 21 g of fiber! Poof! Most of your fiber in one. Sometimes, I only eat half... They are tastey toasted (you could slice them up, toast them and use them as 'chips' to dip in hummus, etc.) They make yummy sammich wraps.

A cup of cooked cauliflower has 5 grams of fiber
A cup of cooked green cabbage has 3 grams
A tablespoon of psyllium husks has 6 grams of fiber. You could add it to the oatmeal or drink it with water.
Sometimes I add a tablespoon of wheat bran(1/4 cup 32 calories - 6 grams fiber) or flaxseed (1 T. 30 calories - 2 grams fiber) to my oatmeal. If I'm having protein pancakes, with is another breakfast favorite, I add the same thing.

Fiber One cereal is great as a topping on salads (like croutons) or for crunch on yogurt, but it may be more processed than you like.

La Tortilla Factory makes some great wraps that are low calories (100 and less) that have from 8 - 14 grams of fiber per wrap. Nature's Own Double Fiber bread has 5 grams per piece, 40 calories. So a sandwich would have 10 grams right there. Wasa crackers are 30 calories each, 2 grams of fiber. Blue Bunny No sugar added fudgesicles (35 calories - 3 grams of added fiber) is a favorite snack. Again, may be more processed than you would prefer.

I eat pretty similar to you, and I average around 35 grams per day. I'm a little surprised that yours are that low.

I've started adding toasted linseed/flax seed to my roasted broccoli (1 cup) and have it most days for lunch. It really gives my fiber a boost for the day and since I'm mainly eating Lean and Green, I need all the fiber boosting I can get!

I'm wondering if your fiber is lower due to eating smaller portions of high fiber foods perhaps?

I've read that you are supposed to eat (at least) 14 grams of fiber per 1000 calories you consume, so if you are eating 1200 calories, that's only 16.8 grams of fiber.

Hm. Ok, so I'm averaging 1300-1500 calories a day. I'm still under on most days ... but not *as* under as I thought.

I like some of the suggestions that ahve been offered here, though. I'm going to try to add a few of them into my diet as I can. And as much as I don't like pills or processed foods, I might try adding Benefiber or Metamucil to my diet.

Thanks everyone, for your thoughts and suggestions!

Prunes have less than 1 gram of fiber per each, maybe you mean 0.7g?

I know what you mean about not getting the fiber in. I have the same problem, so I just ordered some Oat Fiber from Honeyvillegrain.com
