Eating low-calorie, high fiber foods is beneficial for weight control or weight loss as well as maintaining heart and digestive health. These foods should be a diet staple. Examples of such foods include many fruits and vegetables, legumes, grains and other plant-based, whole foods. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) a high-fiber food must provide at least 5g dietary fiber per serving.
