15 High-Fiber Meals That Make Hitting Your Daily Goal Surprisingly Delicious

Move over protein; there's a new nutrient on the block.

Have you heard? Fibermaxxing is all the rage. We all got comfortable eyeballing protein intake — we see you, gym rats — but lately, fiber has been getting some well-deserved attention. That limelight is probably a good thing, because the FDA says we should be getting 28 grams per day.

A person is about to eat a salad with poached eggs, tomatoes, and mushrooms, accompanied by a cup of coffee on the table

"There are two different fiber types: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber," says dietitian Katie Whitson, RD, LD. "Soluble fiber is known for lowering cholesterol, improving blood sugar, decreasing the risk of colon cancer, and keeping you full," she explains. "Insoluble fiber is responsible for bulking up your stool and keeping your intestines moving (otherwise known as improving gut motility)."

If hitting that target seems a million miles away, try these recipes. Each meal contains at least 10 grams of fiber, creating a fast-track ticket towards those 28 grams. Hallelujah.
