Question

Leslie Bonci, RD, CSSD · Answer

Let's talk about fiber, what a fiber rich foods. If you don't like bananas, have a little secret for you, I don't like bananas. I can't tolerate them and all they do have some Fiber, there are other things that have more. So, pretty much any fruit that you eat, any vegetables that you eat, are going to be sources of fiber, thinking, about cereal grains something with bran in it. Something that's a whole week will be a source of fiber, a potato, both the Flesh and the skin. Let's not forget about beans and I'm Todd. Talking about things like garbanzos our chickpeas talking about kidney beans, talking about lentils black beans. All excellent sources of fiber, even nuts and seeds and nut Butters and Seed Butters are sources of fiber to. So if you don't want to include banana, don't feel like you're missing out and truly, the goal is depending upon your age, depending upon your gender, you know, we're talking anywhere from about 25 to 38 grams of fiber a day that means fiber is Out of every single meal. And that also means optimizing your fluid because we want to make sure everything is in balance and that you're not having too much fiber relative to the amount of liquid that you take in. Also look at that nutrition panel because often times, you will see fiber listed on there and it's a great thing to keep track of over the course of the day. So fiber up.

What are some fiber rich foods if I don't like bananas? Oh I love talking about fiber. Fiber is awesome, five percent of us as Americans, get enough fiber in our day and that's just sad. So we are talking about 25 to 38 grams per day, recommended by the dietary guidelines, for Americans that averages out to about 14 grams per thousand calories consumed. So, 25 to 38 grams, we have a lot of work to do to get there and bananas are not going to be your only source. So Let's start with any fruit, some have more than others, raspberries, and blackberries have eight grams in 1 cup. That's a third of your day, right there. Any vegetable cooked raw frozen canned, doesn't matter, fiber. All excellent. Okay. Whole grains, we're talking whole grain. Cereals, whole grain rice. Whole, grain, corn, oats Quinoa. There's tons of different grains, beans, canned beans, especially so easy to prepare. Put them in anything, you've got a ton of fiber nuts and seeds. Also, fabulous sources of fiber, both soluble and insoluble fiber. So there are so many ways. All of these plant Foods, you want a ton of variety include a fruit and veggie at every meal and you're going to be probably pretty good to go. Just spread it around and eat the rainbow

Noah it is so easy to find fiber. Rich foods outside a banana. So if you don't like bananas, no big deal at all right shoes. Another fruit. Choose another vegetable or a whole grain of really dark source of a whole grain. Like whole grain bread, could be whole, wheat, pasta could be brown rice. All of those things have great fiber in them. In addition to nuts and beans, and lentils. So go for it, right? Just because you don't like bananas, you can still get an ample amount of fiber in your daily nutrition plan.
