Today's Fibre Sources

Where your fibre came from today. Different sources bring different benefits — a guide, not a score.

Lighting up a few groups across the day helps your gut and your overall nutrition.

Fibre and carbohydrate. Fibre is largely carbohydrate in structure, but it is not included in the available carbohydrate figure shown on Australian nutrition panels.
Many fibre-rich foods also contain carbohydrate. That is not a flaw. Fruit, legumes, wholegrains and starchy vegetables can help you reach your fibre target while providing useful energy and other nutrients.

Fibre, made simple

Why fibre matters
Fibre is the part of plants you don't fully digest. Most Australians fall short — and getting enough supports digestion, heart health, steadier energy and fullness.
Gut health
Fibre adds bulk and feeds the helpful bacteria in your gut, keeping you regular and your gut lining healthy.
Blood sugar
Fibre slows carbohydrate absorption, smoothing the rise in blood glucose after meals.
Cholesterol
Soluble fibre binds some cholesterol in the gut — one way a high-fibre diet supports healthy cholesterol.
Feeling full (satiety)
High-fibre foods take longer to eat and stay in your stomach longer, so you feel satisfied for less energy.
Soluble vs insoluble fibre
Most plants contain both. Soluble fibre (oats, legumes, apples, psyllium) forms a gel that helps cholesterol and blood sugar. Insoluble fibre (wholegrains, wheat bran, vegetable skins) adds bulk and keeps things moving. No need to count them — variety gives you both.
Adding fibre gradually
Build fibre up over 1–2 weeks rather than all at once, and drink plenty of water so your gut adjusts comfortably.
