Fiber

By Justin G. on 24JAN17WED

I was recently told by my doctor to eat more fiber. I’ve never considered my fiber intake to be particularly low, but nor have I counted it. So, I found a few USDA sites with good info that’s easy to read. The dietary guideline is 30 g for men my age.

• Food Sources of Dietary Fiber is a list of some common foods in two different portion sizes, standard and small. The list is not exhaustive.
• PDF Abridged List Ordered by Nutrient Content in Household Measure is 89 pages and doesn’t feel abridged at all. It’s ordered by the amount of nutritional fiber per 100 g, from most to least. “Corn bran, crude” has 79 g of fiber per 100 g, and “Sweeteners, tabletop, fructose, liquid” is tied with about 4 pages of other things for last with 0.1 g of fiber. Popcorn is ranked pretty high with about 14 g per 100 g.
