[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 84691, member: 12578"] Good posting, I agree totally about the need for fibre and it can be quite actually quite difficult to get sufficient even when you do eat wholegrains and lots of fruit and veg. Pulses are excellent sources though. An 180g Jacket potato has almost 5 g of fibre, predominantly soluble. ( for comparison 90g of spinach has 1.9) My only quibble (from a diabetic point of view) is that jacket potatoes are surprisingly high gi so work quite quickly, I would add some sort of fat to 'slow' it down. Its clear that many people do eat very low fibre diets. A little while ago there was a snapshot nutritional analysis of a days diet from various people on the forum. Nobody got to the 25g level some were extremely low (results: 4.1, 3.3, 11.0, 7.56, 4.8, 16.2, 23; 15; 14; 16; 17; 12). It worries me that levels as low as this may be storing up problems for the future. I 've been looking for a good, simple list of fibre content, the one in this pamphlet divides them into pedominantly soluble/ predominantly insoluble.
