[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the person. I eat vegetables (mostly green - cabbage, kale, broccoli, broccolini, arugula) at both lunch and dinner every day, and occasionally spinach at breakfast. I'm trying to keep carbs under 100g at the recommendation of my endocrinologist, so I don't eat sweet potatoes more than once or twice a week. Rarely eat white potatoes. Also eat random colored veggies - peppers, tomatoes, carrots, kohlrabi -- a few times a week.  Yet according to my app I never have enough fiber, am usually at 10-15 grams! No issues pooping at all though. Maybe because I eat 2 prunes every morning.

It seems crazy to me that my fiber is so low given the veggies, but it may be because I'm not eating bread and other things that are high in fiber but too high in carbs.[/quote]

I believe it.  Leafy green vegetables don’t have much fiber.  If you are watching carbs too that makes it harder to get adequate fiber.  I would eat berries.  Lots of fiber and low carb for fruit.  Apples are also great and chia seeds.  Oatmeal is high fiber and good for blood sugar control.  [/quote]
