It\u2019s a useful split to be aware of, because different fibre-rich foods behave differently as you cook and eat them.<\/p>\n<p>Soluble fibre dissolves in water and breaks down more easily in your digestive system. You\u2019ll find soluble fibre in oats, beans, lentils, and some fruit. In cooking, that might mean porridge turning creamy, or lentils softening into a soup, curry, or sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Insoluble fibre doesn\u2019t dissolve in water in the same way. It helps add bulk to food, pushing it through your digestive system. You\u2019ll find it in wholegrains, vegetable skins, nuts, and seeds.<\/p>\n<p>Neither fibre type is better than the other, so it\u2019s important to get a variety throughout your week. Plus, having more than one route to fibre keeps meals from feeling repetitive.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Fibre_Should_You_Eat_for_Digestion\"><\/span><b>How Much Fibre Should You Eat for Digestion?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/sacn-carbohydrates-and-health-report\">Scientific Advisory Committee<\/a> on Nutrition advises UK adults to aim to eat 30g of fibre a day. To put that into perspective, an 80g serving of baked beans contains around 3g of fibre, while 150g cooked wholemeal spaghetti contains around 6g.<\/p>\n<p>It might sound daunting, but with small additions and adjustments, you can build towards 30g over the day, rather than trying to get there from a single high-fibre ingredient. For example, kidney beans stirred into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/chilli-recipes\">chilli<\/a>, a hearty quinoa-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/salad-recipes\">salad<\/a>, potato wedges with the skin on, or pumpkin seeds sprinkled over roasted vegetables.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/recipes\/breakfast-recipes\">Breakfast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/recipes\/lunch\">lunch<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/recipes\/dinner-recipes\">dinner<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/recipes\/snacks-sides-recipes\">snacks<\/a> can all add to the total throughout the day.

A quick jump in your fibre intake can feel uncomfortable for some people, especially if your usual meals are lower in fibre.<\/p>\n<p>Pick one small change at a time, and drink plenty of fluids as you increase your intake, to help fibre move through your bowels.<\/p>\n<p>Start with one tweak, see how it feels, then build from there once you feel comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sarahfancourt\/\">Sarah Fancourt &#8211; Lead Nutritionist (ANutr) at Gousto<\/a> says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cFibre is one of those nutrients that\u2019s really important but can easily be forgotten. In the UK, we eat around 17g a day on average, so reaching the recommended 30g can feel like a big jump. You shouldn&#8217;t try to make up that gap overnight. Sudden changes can be a shock to your digestive system, leading to bloating or discomfort. Instead, go low and slow. Simple tweaks like choosing wholegrains, adding half a tin of lentils to a sauce, or topping your breakfast with seeds give your gut microbiome time to comfortably adjust.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recipe_Inspiration\"><\/span><b>Recipe Inspiration<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creamy_Chicken_Caesar_Bean_Bowl_With_Croutons\"><\/span><b>Creamy Chicken Caesar Bean Bowl With Croutons<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;21525&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Inspired by the classic Caesar salad, this creamy bean bowl topped with crunchy croutons gets its fibre from cannellini beans and kale, providing you with a third of your daily intake.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;CHICKEN CAESAR WITH A TWIST&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#8193DC&#8221; custom_text=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gousto.co.uk%2Fcookbook%2Frecipes%2Ffibre-creamy-chicken-caesar-bean-bowl-with-croutons&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Malaysian-Style_Sambal_Jumbo_Prawn_Lentil_Dal_With_Garlic_Roti\"><\/span><b>Malaysian-Style Sambal Jumbo Prawn Lentil Dal With Garlic Roti<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;21526&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]This Malaysian-inspired dal brings together a variety of fibre-rich ingredients, with red lentils simmered in coconut milk, tomatoes, onions, and warming spices.
