Oatmeal
Nothing hits the spot on a chilly morning like a steaming bowl of creamy oatmeal. Oats are a great way to get soluble fiber, the kind that can help to lower your cholesterol. Start your day with a cup of cooked oatmeal and you’ll get 4 grams of fiber. Top it with a sliced banana (or better yet, add the banana while you’re cooking the oatmeal — it will add to oatmeal’s creaminess) for an extra 3 grams.

Whole-Wheat Spaghetti

Beans
Beans are one of the best sources of fiber out there: 1 cup gives you 12 to 19 grams of fiber. Tuck black beans into a quesadilla, make a white-bean-and-escarole soup or top a green salad with garbanzo beans.

Popcorn
Popcorn counts as a whole grain and has the fiber to prove it. 3 cups of the crunchy stuff gives you 4 grams of fiber for just 90 calories when air-popped. Don’t have an air-popper? Just put 3 tablespoons of popcorn kernels in a paper bag, fold over the top a few times to keep it closed and microwave it until you hear the pops becoming less frequent.
