A group of carbohydrates found mainly in plant foods that are not fully digested in the small intestine.
Why Fibre matters
Adequate fibre supports digestive health, fullness and a varied diet, but intake should usually increase gradually.
A practical example
Beans, oats, berries, vegetables and whole grains can all contribute fibre.
Common mistake
Increasing fibre suddenly without enough fluid or assuming a supplement replaces varied food.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
