Soluble fiber is pretty easy to come by through fruits and veggies. But, I found insoluble fiber more difficult to add to my diet due to everything being processed. Fortunately, I eat a cereal in the morning which has 10 grams of insoluble fiber and I add ground flax seed to it which gives me more than half the daily amount in one meal. My other meals combined usually account for the other half.

I always wondered if soluble fiber counted towards the daily fiber intake!! now i know...thanks FIT!!

i usually eat a lot of fiber... i used to do weight watchers so my eye is trained to look for it in the nutritional info i just had no idea what the difference was~ thanks!

I eats lots of both.

I eat LOS of those too! I think I am pretty good with it all!

thanks for this - i didn't know much before reading this. looks like i get enough of both though

Is there a recommended amount that you shouldn't go over in one meal. Like I know the body can only absorb so much calcium at one time. I wonder if its that way for fiber. I know its always better to spread things out, but I was just wondering if there was an actual number that I shouldn't be going over incase my body doesn't process it all.

I get tons of fiber in my diet...mostly soluable, as I eat almost every food on that list.

I'm also a fan of the Benefiber. I need to get better about remembering to take them though. I'm horrible about getting my fiber from food sources.

this was helpful - thanks.
