A
Feedback:
To increase the intake of fiber, encourage clients to eat dried peas and beans two to three times per week. Nuts, dried peas, and beans provide significant starch and fiber, but they are generally consumed less often than other carbohydrate-free selections. The other foods do not increase the fiber content of the diet.
