Answer 1

Helper in Need gave you a great answer. I can't improve on that! I can tell you how I add fiber to our diet, though. From the natural food store I buy equal quantities of wheat bran and oat bran and blend them together thoroughly. I add this fiber mix liberally to anything I can. A tablespoon goes into a bowl of oatmeal. I add it to the mix for muffins, cornbread, meatloaf, casseroles...well, you get the idea. No one notices it but it adds fiber sneakily to the family diet!

Answer 2

That's fine, veggies have more fiber than fruit and less sugar, as a rule.
