Eat Plants for Fiber

Eat plants, not grains, for fiber. You'll get added nutrients for fewer calories. A cup of raspberries, for examples, has 9 grams of fiber--the most of any fruit--for only 64 calories. A cup of broccoli has 6 grams of fiber and only 52 calories. Compare that to brown rice: a cup has a paltry 2 grams of fiber per 100 calories.
