Get Your Daily Dietary Fiber

  • Choose whole fruits more often than fruit juice. Fresh, frozen, or canned, it doesn’t matter, they all count.
  • Try to eat two vegetables with your evening meal.
  • Keep a bowl of veggies washed and prepared in your refrigerator. Cucumbers, celery, or carrots are a good choice for a quick snack.
  • Make a meal around dried beans or peas (also called legumes) instead of meat.

  • Choose whole grain foods more often. A good guide is to make at least one half of your grain choices to be whole grains.
  • Start your day with a whole grain breakfast cereal low in added sugar. Top your cereal with fruit for even more fiber. While bananas may come to your mind first, you can add even more variety by also trying sliced peaches or berries. You can usually find these fruits year round in the frozen foods section of your grocery store.
