If you’re new here, these three are the place to start — the foundations everything else builds on.
Does meat have fiber? No: beef, pork, lamb and other plain meats have 0 grams, because fiber is found only in plants. A few processed meats list a trace from added ingredients, and a meat dish only gains real fiber when beans, grains or vegetables go in.
Does chicken have fiber? No: plain chicken, from breast to thigh, has 0 grams, because fiber only comes from plants. Breaded chicken can pick up a gram or two from its coating, but the sides on your plate decide how much fiber the meal really has.
Do peaches have fiber? Yes: a medium fresh peach has about 2.3 grams, and an extra large one about 3.4 grams, with the skin adding to the total. Canned and dried peaches keep their fiber too, though sugar and calories change a lot.
Do edamames have fiber? Yes: a cup of shelled edamame has about 8.1 grams, plus 18 grams of protein. That makes these young soybeans one of the few foods that’s high in both fiber and protein.
Why does konjac have so much fiber? Its corm is about half glucomannan by dry weight, a soluble fiber that can swell to 100 times its volume in water. That’s how a cup of shirataki noodles carries about 6 grams of fiber for 20 calories.
Does yogurt have fiber? Plain dairy yogurt has none, and USDA lists fruit yogurt at 0 grams too. Your fiber comes from fiber-added brands or toppings like berries, chia and bran cereal, which can turn one cup into 8 grams or more.
Does tofu have fiber? Yes, but not much: half a cup of firm tofu has about 2.9 grams, while regular tofu has under half a gram. Tofu shines for protein and calcium, so pair it with beans, vegetables or whole grains to cover fiber.
Does mango have fiber? Yes: a cup of fresh mango pieces has about 2.6 grams, and a whole mango has about 5.4 grams. Sweetened dried mango keeps some fiber but packs far more sugar per bite, so fresh is the better pick for fiber.
Does coffee have fiber? A little: researchers measured about 0.47 to 0.75 grams of soluble fiber per 100 milliliters of brewed coffee, or roughly 1 to 2 grams in an 8 ounce cup. Standard nutrition databases still list it at zero.
Does cantaloupe have fiber? A little: one cup of cubes has about 1.4 grams. Where cantaloupe really shines is vitamins, with that same cup covering about 65% of your vitamin C and 30% of your vitamin A.
Does bread have fiber? Yes, but the amount swings widely: a slice of white bread has under 1 gram, while a slice of whole wheat, rye or pumpernickel has about 2 grams. The flour on the ingredient list matters far more than the color of the loaf.
Do dates have fiber? Yes: one Medjool date has about 1.6 grams, and a quarter cup of chopped Deglet Noor dates has about 3 grams. They’re also very high in natural sugar, so a few dates go a long way.
