Tag: Increasing fiber intake

While most Americans only consume about 15 grams of fiber per day, the recommended intake is at least 25 to 35 grams. Standard macaroni does contain some dietary fiber, but the amount varies significantly depending on whether it is made from enriched white flour or whole grains.

While often enjoyed for their rich flavor and tender texture, traditional egg noodles are not considered a high-fiber food. Typically made from refined flour, a one-cup serving of cooked egg noodles contains only about 1.9 to 2 grams of dietary fiber, falling far short of the recommended daily intake for most adults.
