Get Your Fiber

This is from Cooking Light. I like it because it gives some great ideas on how to get in fiber without eating the same meal everyday.

"Eating 25 to 35 grams of fiber daily is easy, if you start with breakfast. "Studies show that individuals who eat fiber-rich cereal and fresh fruit will more likely meet their daily fiber needs," says Eileen Vincent, MS, RD, a dietitian in the department of preventative medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Besides the fiber, you'll net a host of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to boost your health.

Breakfast
5 grams: 11⁄4 cups bite-sized whole wheat cereal biscuits (such as bite-sized Shredded Wheat)
