If you always feel hungry when you cut calories, fibre might be the missing piece.
What fibre does
Fibre is the part of plant foods your body can't fully digest. It slows digestion and keeps you satisfied, so you feel full for longer. It also supports healthy digestion.
Foods high in fibre
- Oats and wholegrain bread
- Beans, lentils and chickpeas
- Berries, apples and pears
- Vegetables like broccoli, carrots and peas
- Nuts and seeds
Easy ways to eat more
- Add berries or seeds to your breakfast.
- Choose wholegrain instead of white bread, rice and pasta.
- Add beans to soups, salads and stews.
- Snack on fruit.
Increase fibre slowly and drink enough water to avoid stomach discomfort.
