I know no one asked but if you're a gym bro and looking for easy fiber intake, get the carb balance tortillas from mission. 17g of fiber per tortilla.

that "fiber" is chemically modified resistant starch

the FDA allows it to be called fiber, but it acts differently in the body to the soluble and insoluble fiber that most people are familiar with

IMO, it's a mistake to treat fiber as a single, fungible food component, rather than as a family of different substances with different health effects

if you're looking for "easy fiber intake", there is much more and stronger evidence for psyllium-based soluble fiber, widely available in cheap and convenient drinks like metamucil (I prefer formulations without the dye and maltodextrin, but that's getting into the weeds)

Just eat real food.

Stop substituting and finding short cuts. Just eat a balanced meal with vegetables.

You’re grossly underestimating how much fiber a person needs to eat.

How much fiber does a person need to eat, as measured in weight or volume of common vegetables?

Men around 40g per day, it's like 2 pounds of a balanced mix of legumes, beans, vegetables, whole grains and fruits.
