Step 1
Choose a breakfast cereal that has at least three grams of fiber per serving. There are some brands of breakfast cereal specifically formulated to be a primary source of fiber in a diet. They can have as much as thirteen grams of fiber per serving. The recommended amount of fiber per day is twenty-five grams.

Step 2
Add fresh fruit to your hot or cold breakfast cereal. Many fresh fruits like bananas and strawberries are a delicious and naturally high-fiber addition to your meal. If you run out of fresh fruit, opt for dried fruit such as raisins, dried cranberries, or banana chips.

Step 3
Buy double fiber, whole wheat bread, bagels, or English muffins to make toast and breakfast sandwiches. Each slice contains double the amount fiber in one slice as compared to regular whole wheat bread. Remember to check food labels and compare fiber content from brand to brand because each one can vary somewhat.
