Question

1. make a list of the foods you eat in one typical day, including the amount consumed.
2. in the chart below, list the food item, serving size, amount consumed, grams of fiber in 1 serving and then calculate the total grams of fiber consumed for that food item. for foods with packaging, use the food label for nutrient values. alternatively, use myfitnesspal.com/or the app to find the nutrient values in foods.

example: whole wheat bread, serving size = 1 sliced, amount consumed= 2 slices, you will need to double the grams of fiber that is listed since the amount consumed was twice that of the serving size.
fiber g in 1 serving = 3 g, total fiber g = 6 g

1. when finished total the grams of fiber you consumed on this particular day and answer the questions at the bottom of the page.

food item	serving size	amount consumed	fiber grams in 1 serving	total fiber grams consumed

Explanation:

Step1: List typical daily foods

(Example typical day foods: whole wheat bread, oatmeal, banana, spinach, quinoa, apple)

Step2: Define serving sizes & amounts

Whole wheat bread: serving=1 slice, amount=2 slices; Oatmeal: serving=½ cup dry, amount=½ cup dry; Banana: serving=1 medium, amount=1; Spinach: serving=1 cup raw, amount=2 cups; Quinoa: serving=½ cup cooked, amount=1 cup; Apple: serving=1 medium, amount=1

Step3: Find fiber per serving

Whole wheat bread: 3 g/slice; Oatmeal: 4 g/½ cup; Banana: 3 g/medium; Spinach: 0.7 g/cup; Quinoa: 2.6 g/½ cup; Apple: 4.8 g/medium

Step4: Calculate total fiber per food

Whole wheat bread: $2 \times 3 = 6$ g; Oatmeal: $1 \times 4 = 4$ g; Banana: $1 \times 3 = 3$ g; Spinach: $2 \times 0.7 = 1.4$ g; Quinoa: $2 \times 2.6 = 5.2$ g; Apple: $1 \times 4.8 = 4.8$ g

Step5: Sum total daily fiber

$6 + 4 + 3 + 1.4 + 5.2 + 4.8 = 24.4$ g

Answer:

Completed Food & Fiber Chart:

Food Item	Serving size	Amount consumed	Fiber grams in 1 serving	Total fiber grams consumed
Oatmeal (dry)	½ cup	½ cup	4 g	4 g
Medium banana	1 medium	1 medium	3 g	3 g
Raw spinach	1 cup	2 cups	0.7 g	1.4 g
Cooked quinoa	½ cup	1 cup	2.6 g	5.2 g
Medium apple	1 medium	1 medium	4.8 g	4.8 g

Total Daily Fiber Consumed:

24.4 grams
