A product or a food can with the words "high fiber" if it contains more than 5 grams of fiber per serving. And bran, the outer layer of whole grain is high in fiber. However, do not light - only to see the words "fiber" or "bran" on the packaging does not guarantee a balanced product.

Nutrition information: 140 calories and 9 grams of fiber, but also has 10 grams of sugar and only 2 grams of protein. In addition, these bars contain high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated coconut oil. On the other hand, I recommend fiberA cereal for breakfast or eat (mix of nuts and dried fruit, trail mix fantastic home-made) for a snack. A half cup has only 60 calories and 15 grams of fiber.

Because even bran in the name of this bar?

Kashi is a trademark of my current favorites. Now they have hot and cold cereals, cereal bars, snack bars, and yes, you heard it here, Cookies!, From allseven grain mix with their signature. A cookie with 3-4 grams of fiber, a dream come true nutritionist. Your TLC crunchy and chewy granola bars, snack bars and their GoLean options are great for snacks on the run.
