High Fiber Bread

April 27th, 2008 -- Posted in Food, Intake, Products | No Comments »

If you are starting a high fiber diet, eating a high fiber bread is an excellent way to increase your fiber intake. There are many high fiber breads on the market. When you are trying to find a high fiber bread look for breads that are 100% whole grain. I have been eating Nature’s Own Double Fiber bread. Two slices provide me with 10 grams of dietary fiber. That is a lot of fiber, especially when you compare it to the 1-3 grams of fiber in most white breads. You can use high fiber bread for toast in the morning or a sandwich anytime in the day. If you are aiming to get 25-35 grams of fiber a day then definitely add high fiber breads to your diet.

How much fiber do I need a day?

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) says that you should consume 20-35 grams a day for a healthy adult.  Studies show that most Americans consume only half of the recommended amount!
