Legumes provide about 8 grams of fiber per serving. A serving is 1/2 cup of cooked legumes. Examples: black beans, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, navy beans, pinto beans, lima beans, garbanzo beans...
Whole-grain products (whole-wheat, rye bread) provide 1-2 g fiber per serving. A serving is 1 slice of bread or 1 oz of cereal. Cereals that are 100% bran contain 10 grams plus of fiber (try Fiber One... if you don't like the taste Fiber One with Honey Clusters is more palatable).
Vegetables contain about 2-3 g fiber per serving. A serving is 1 cup raw or 1/2 cup cooked vegetables.
Fruits (fresh, frozen, and dried) provide about 2 g fiber per serving. Fruit juices contain very little fiber.
In general, to increase your fiber intake...
1. Eat whole-grain cereals (more than 5 g fiber per serving)
2. Replace refined white starch products with whole grain (hamburger buns, pasta, brown rice instead of white)
2. Eat raw vegetables
3. Eat fruits and vegetables with the skin on (pears, potatoes, etc)
4. Add legumes to soups and salads
5. Eat fresh and dried fruit for snacks
