Getting enough fiber in your diet is important for promoting heart health and protecting against diseases like Type 2 diabetes and certain forms of cancer. What’s more, following a high-fiber diet can aid weight loss. The daily recommended intake for fiber is 25–35 grams and the best sources include whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes (like black beans) and whole grains. Here, nine high-fiber lunches that contain at least 7 grams of fiber per serving and have 400 calories or less.
