Dear Hungry Girl,
I'm looking for fun ways to get more fiber into my diet. I know all about the fruits and veggies that are high in fiber, but I am wondering if you can point me in the direction of some high-fiber foods that are more snacky or fun. Please help! ~Fiber-Seeker
Dear Fiber-Seeker,
No problem! I’m a bit fiber-obsessed, so I’m just going to start rattling off the names of some of my favorite delicious fiber-packed stuff, and I'll tell you how many grams of fiber (plus the calories, fat and POINTS® values) a serving of each one contains...
1. Fiber One Chewy Bars (1 bar = 140 - 150 calories, 3.5 - 4.5g fat, 9g fiber -- POINTS® value 2 - 3*)
2. Gnu Bars (1 bar = 130 - 150 calories, 3g fat, 12g fiber -- POINTS® value 2*)
3. VitaTops (1 VitaTo p = 80 - 100 calories, 1 - 2.5g fat, 5 - 6g fiber -- POINTS® value 1*)
4. Original Fiber One Bran Cereal (1/2 cup = 60 calories, 1g fat, 14g fiber -- POINTS® value 1*),
5. Yoplait Fiber One yogurt (one 4-oz. container = 80 calories, 0g fat, 5g fiber -- POINTS® value 1*)
6. FiberGourmet Light Pasta (2 oz. uncooked = 120 - 130 calories, 1g fat, 18 - 20g fiber -- POINTS® value 2*)
7. Zen Bakery Fiber Cakes (1 Fiber Cake = 80 calories, 1.5g fat, 13g fiber -- POINTS® value 1*)
8. La Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low-Carb/Low-Fat Large Tortillas (1 tortilla = 80 calories, 3g fat, 14g fiber -- POINTS® value 1*)
9. Hostess 100 Calorie Packs in Chocolate Cake or Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake (1 pack = 100 calories, 3g fat, 5g fiber -- POINTS® value 1*)
10. Lightfull Satiety Smoothies (1 smoothie = 90 - 100 calories, 0 - 1g fat, 5 - 6g fiber -- POINTS® value 1*).
Phew! All of these items taste great and are super-filling, too! (Pssst... Don’t miss this GREAT fiber-centric email we ran last year.)
