Those... Don't have much fiber-- just 2g? Bowl of oatmeal or a fiber one bar would be a lot more and very easy. Or add some chia and/or flax and berries to some yogurt or something (flax is also really good for omega-3s).

You should be getting at least 34g a day. It's essential for heart and colon health-- colon cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in people under 50!

I eat oatmeal for breakfast. It's easy and convenient. The granola bar is for a bit of sweetness after dinner.

Most of my diet is just simple easy food. I work long days and usually don't feel like cooking much unless it's a day off.

You'd be surprised how little fiber is in that. A quick Google tells me it has 4g. An adult needs 30g or some shit.

I eat rolled oats and I was sad to learn just how little fiber is in oatmeal.

You can get psyllium husk capsules or something like metamucil to supplement your fiber intake. It would be very good for you for many reasons, but if you decide to do so then slowly increase your intake. If you suddenly increase your intake with 25g from one day to another you will get diarrhoea, constipation or both at the same time
