Fiber Grams in Bacon
Unfortunately, this little piggy comes home empty with zero grams of dietary fiber. You'll need to pair your first meal of the day with foods that are rich in this element.
Top of the Morning to Ya!
Take note that the omelet will contain dietary fiber grams if sauteed vegetables are added - and by adding such, you'll not only be adding a dose of healthy fiber, you'll also be adding nutritional benefits to your breakfast meal.
Stuffing sauteed vegetables into morning omelets is an excellent method for getting in a serving (or two) of vegetables; breakfast is quite tricky when it comes to this food group.
We can stick fruit into our cereal grains, we can enjoy lean strips of ham or reduced fat sausage and we can opt for milk or yogurt for the dairy food group, but it's simply challenging trying to fit in the vegetable group for that morning meal that breaks the overnight fast.
Whole Grains for Healthy Goodness
The whole grain choices below make the wiser options at breakfast for getting in dietary fiber.
Whole grain breads as well as cereals can boost your daily totals; every little bit adds up to healthy goodness.
Add nuts to cereals as well as seeds and fruits and you can intensify the fiber content further still.
One of your healthiest choices is Buckwheat Pancakes; we've posted the nutritional data below - and just look at all of those fiber grams lodged therein.
