Dietary fiber doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. According to a survey conducted by MyFitnessPal, most users associate fiber with bowel movements. But fiber is actually a lot more than that—it’s an essential nutrient that supports digestion, heart health, and even weight management.
This guide brings together expert-backed insights and MyFitnessPal tools to help you make the most of fiber in your diet.
Compared to protein or omega-3 fatty acids, fiber may not always be the most exciting topic in the world of nutrition. It’s a really important one, though. Because most of us eat so little fiber, it’s been a “nutrient of concern” according to the USDA since 2005. Here’s what you need to know about dietary fiber and how to make sure you get enough in your daily diet.
Good gut health is intimately linked to dietary fiber. And, no matter your weight or health goals, understanding how to support your digestive system with a healthy diet can be a game-changer. In this article, you’ll find out the best fiber-rich and probiotic-packed foods for gut health and which ones may do damage.
When people start a weight-loss journey, they often worry that cutting calories will leave them hungry and irritable. And being hangry (aka, hungry and angry) isn’t fun for anyone.
But, when you eat the right foods, that doesn’t have to be the case. Enter: fiber. If you’re having trouble achieving your goals, you could find success with high-fiber meals that support weight loss.
If you’ve ever felt bloated, sluggish, or constantly hungry despite eating regular meals, you may have experienced some of the symptoms of low fiber.
And you’re not alone. In fact, according to a survey conducted by MyFitnessPal, 88% of members surveyed say they have no idea how much fiber, protein, carbs, sugar, or salt they consume daily. Only 52% of people surveyed pay attention to how much fiber they’re consuming every day.
Ready to focus on fiber and reap the benefits? We’re here to help you spot the signs of low fiber intake—and how to fix it.
