Sport Dietary Fiber

[TinyDancer]

Do you guys take dietary fiber supplements? I'm pretty sure it's better to get fiber from whole grains and fresh whole foods, but what is your opinion? What kinds of things do you eat?

2 table spoons of ground flax seed.

Other than that. Brocolli and other veggies.

I eat wholegrain english muffins for my carbs & fiber in the morning. 2 of them = about 2/3 of the DV%. And the rest comes from veggies..

I do use a fiber supplement that I blend in with my morning breakfast shake. That provides an extra 5 grams. Other than that, it's all from fruits, seeds, and vegetables.

2 big scoops of fresh ground flax for me.

Get your fibre from whole food and veggies. If this was something like Magnesium and you are a vegetarian/cannot eat certain foods I could understand getting a supplement but there are lots of foods high in dietary fibre.

I take flax with my shakes in the morning. Other than that its lots of veggies, fruit and grains.

Like clockwork, I go 1 - 2 times per day.

Sounds like everyone really likes their flax and cereals. You guys should look into LiveActive. They make crunch cereals like Mixed Berry and Nut Harvest that have whole grain flakes and real fruits and nuts in it, making them beneficial for your digestive system.
