Most plan modest, food-first fiber gains for 2026

Generated Oct 20, 2025 20:19 • 100 responses • Research Group: Entire United States
Overview
Research question: Compared with your average fiber intake in 2025, do you plan to increase the amount of dietary fiber you eat during the 2026 calendar year?
Research group: U.S.-wide respondents (n=100) from the Entire United States.
What they said: A large majority (~80–88%) plan a modest, food-first increase using beans, lentils, oats, whole grains, and frozen/seasonal vegetables, with strong rejection of powders or gram-counting.
A minority (~12–20%) will maintain intake due to already-high baselines, newborn/WIC access and time constraints, or athletic/digestive sensitivities; a few offered retailer-specific tactics, and one flagged duplicate survey items (survey fatigue).

Main insights: Users want practical benefits (satiety, digestion, steady energy) delivered via low-effort batch-cook routines and simple swaps, not clinical tracking or supplements.
Decision takeaways: Prioritize servings-based goals and habit nudges; launch fast content on bean/oat/whole-grain batch-cook recipes; surface cost/access cues (Under $2/serving, WIC/EBT) with retailer tie-ins.
Add digestive pacing for athletes/sensitive users and fix survey deduplication to protect data quality for upcoming experiments.

Participant Responses
Name Response Age City Country Occupation
Amelia Nguyen Yes — I plan to nudge it up a bit in 2026. 2025 was decent, but on crunch weeks my veggie/legume game fell off. I’ll work in more beans, oats, and greens in meal prep. Cheap, filling, keeps me steady. Not chasing some fad, just a small bump on average. 24 Rochester USA Management/Business/Science/Arts
Amelia Flores Yes—slightly. 2025 was fine but too many frantic “white pasta” nights. In 2026 I plan to bump it up a bit—more beans and oats, fewer filler carbs. I’m not making it a whole project, just small tweaks if the week doesn’t implode. 29 San Jose USA Online Learning Coordinator
Alexa Rivera Yes—I plan to nudge it up in 2026.

2025 was decent but inconsistent when work sprints hit. I feel better and stay fuller when I keep the beans/veg/whole grains steady, so I’m dialing it up a notch—not turning into a rabbit, just being more consistent.

  • More lentil/bean-heavy meal prep (Wegmans bulk aisle is my friend)
  • Swap in high‑fiber wraps/oats more often (TJ’s makes it easy)
  • Chia/flax in breakfasts when I remember
38 Rochester USA Project Manager
Abigail Young Yes—slightly.
I feel better when I’m consistent with fiber, and 2025 was hit-or-miss on busy weeks. I’m not counting grams or messing with powders—just tightening up habits.

  • More beans (pinto/black) and lentil nights
  • Extra veggies in sheet-pan dinners, plus a side salad instead of bread
  • Fruit as the default snack
  • Chia/flax in my morning yogurt
  • Grab nopales or hearty greens when I’m at H‑E‑B or the Pearl market
If the kids eat it without a protest chorus, even better.
30 San Antonio USA Care Navigation Manager
Alexis King Yes—I’m planning to bump it up a bit in 2026. More beans, oats, and veggies in the mix, nothing extreme. And no, I’m not choking down those chalky fiber bars. 24 Fresno USA Property Manager
Alyson Velasquez No—about the same. I already eat plenty of fiber (beans, quinoa, veg with most meals). I’m not chasing a higher number in 2026 unless my body gives me a reason. 39 Tampa USA Operations Manager
Amanda Roman Yes — I plan to nudge it up a bit in 2026. I do fine now with beans/veggies, but I want a little more for energy and, honestly, to keep things moving. Nothing extreme, just a small bump. 41 San Jose USA Healthcare Operations Manager
Amber Ruiz Yes — I plan to bump it up a bit in 2026. 2025 was decent on meal-prep weeks but spotty during travel and crunch time, so I want more consistency (more beans, oats, veggies, chia), nothing extreme. 39 Lakewood USA Operations Manager
Amelia Wright No. I’m holding steady for 2026. I already get plenty from chickpeas, roasted veg, oats, and my perpetual house-salad kit. If it creeps up, it’ll be incidental—not some bran boot camp situation. 25 Rochester USA Senior Account Executive
Angie Cavagnaro Yes — slightly. I already eat plenty of beans and veggies, but in 2026 I’m nudging it up a notch—more lentils, leafy salads, maybe chia in the mornings. Perimenopause is loud; fiber helps me keep things a little calmer. 49 Hartford USA Front Of House Manager
Antonela Abrajan Yes—a bit. I do okay some weeks (beans in chili, veggie fried rice), but I want more consistency. I’ll nudge it up with more beans/veg and some whole‑grain swaps. I feel better, it’s cheap, and no, I’m not turning into a chia‑pudding person. 21 Spokane USA Marketing Coordinator
April Llerena Yes—slightly. I’m already pretty solid, but I want to bump it a bit in 2026—more beans, greens, and oats in the weeknight rotation. Perimenopause has me paying closer attention, and fiber’s an easy lever. Not going overboard, just a steady increase. 47 San Diego USA Field Operations Manager
Aria White Yes—slightly. I’ll nudge it up in 2026 with more beans/veg and some oats/chia; nothing extreme—I’m not swapping all my rice for cardboard. 45 Harrisburg USA Inside Sales Coordinator
Arthur Martienz Yes—slightly. I did fine in 2025, but busy weeks knocked me off. I feel better when I’m steady with beans, greens, and whole grains, so I’m nudging it up—not chasing a fad, just tightening the screws a bit.
  • One extra bean/lentil meal in the rotation.
  • Oatmeal more mornings instead of toast.
  • Heavier hand with veggies at dinner.
If it turns into a hassle, I’ll dial it back. I’m aiming for consistency, not perfection.
40 Grand Rapids USA Maintenance Superintendent
Aubrey Thompson Yes—slightly. I’m aiming to nudge it up in 2026, nothing extreme. More veggies and beans in our weeknight rotation, swapping in high‑fiber tortillas or oats here and there. I just feel better when I’m not leaning so hard on white pasta and “we’re late for soccer” dinners. If life goes sideways, I won’t beat myself up—but the plan is more fiber, steady and sane. 41 Nashville USA Insurance Account Manager
Avery White Yes—slightly. I already eat a decent amount (oats, big salads, brown rice), but I’ll nudge it up in 2026—more beans in the Instant Pot, extra veg when I’m not exhausted. No powders, no gimmicks. If prices don’t spike and life doesn’t go off the rails, I’ll stick with it. 34 Fresno USA Management/Business/Science/Arts
Bonny Rayas Yes—slightly more. I already eat beans, lentils, and oatmeal, but in 2026 I’ll bump it up a bit with more veggies, salads, and whole grains when they’re on sale. No pricey powders—just regular food that fits my budget. 55 San Jose USA Unemployed
Brandie Ramirez Yes—slightly. I already do beans, veggies, and big salads, but 2025 was inconsistent when life got chaotic. In 2026 I plan to bump it up a notch—more frijoles in the rotation, veggie-heavy lunches, maybe toss chia into yogurt. Nothing trendy, just real food. If the kids roll their eyes, pues ni modo. 40 Sacramento USA Homemaker
Brenda Quintero Yes—a bit more in 2026 than I did in 2025.

I feel better (steadier energy, fewer snack cravings, less bloat) when I’m a little higher on fiber, and I can do it without making meal prep fussy.

  • Add one more bean/lentil night to the rotation.
  • Oatmeal or overnight oats a couple mornings instead of eggs alone.
  • Automatic side salad or extra veg with dinners.
  • Keep nuts/fruit as the default snacks; toss some ground flax into yogurt.
54 Columbia USA Homemaker
Carrie Guebara Yes—slightly. I’m aiming to nudge it up in 2026 with more veggies, beans, and whole grains, but nothing extreme—just a small, consistent bump so I don’t have to think about it too much. 43 Atlanta USA Operations Manager
Catherine Meza Yes — I plan to bump it up a bit in 2026.
I’m already decent on fiber (beans, veggies, oats), but I want a small uptick: more beans each week, chia/flax in my oatmeal, an extra veg at dinner, and swapping in whole‑grain tortillas/rice more often. Nothing drastic, just steady tweaks.
48 San Jose USA Finance Operations Manager
Charlotte Lopez Yes — I plan to increase it slightly in 2026. More beans, veggies, and oats worked into our usual meals, nothing fancy. 23 Roswell USA N/A
Charlotte Scott Yes—slightly. I did fine in 2025, but lunches got a little lazy and I feel better when I’m heavier on veggies and beans. In 2026 I’m planning a small bump: more beans/lentils in weeknight meals, a second veg at dinner, and tossing chia/flax into yogurt. Nothing extreme—just nudging it up so I’m not relying on a sad side salad and calling it a day. 39 Baltimore USA Healthcare Operations Manager
Charlotte Torres You asked this twice. Anyway: yes—slightly increase. Why: I feel better and stay fuller on long drive days, and it’s easy enough to bump without doing some silly January “reset.” What I’m actually changing:
  • More beans/lentils in weeknight meals instead of extra chicken.
  • Whole‑grain wraps/rice more often.
  • Fruit + seed mix in the car so I’m not grabbing junk.
  • Add a veg side when we do takeout.
26 Manchester USA Medical Device Sales
Chloe Anderson About the same. I already eat a lot of beans, lentils, veggies, and tortillas, so 2026 will look similar—maybe a tiny bump if I keep up my Sunday batch-cooks, but nothing dramatic. I’m not chasing a fiber trend; I just cook how I cook. 37 Fresno USA Artist
Chloe Moore Yes — slightly increase. I did fine in 2025, but I want to be more consistent in 2026—more veggies/beans in meal prep, timed so it doesn’t mess with workouts. 29 Jacksonville USA Account Executive
Chloe Thompson Yes—slightly. 2025 was hit-or-miss for me, and my gut tells on me when I get stressed and lazy with meals. In 2026 I’m nudging it up with normal food—more beans, veggies, maybe oatmeal here and there. No pricey powders, no weird “fiber hacks.” Just fewer white-bread weeks, hopefully. 28 Ann Arbor USA Office Manager
Despina Cordero Yes — slightly.
I eat a decent amount now, but I want to be more consistent. More beans and lentils in the Instant Pot, oats instead of toast on early shifts, and actually buying the higher‑fiber bread instead of whatever’s on sale. No powders or gimmicks—just more veg and whole grains.
31 Edison USA Patient Access Supervisor
Elizabeth Allen Yeah, a bit. I already do salads, beans, and veggies, but in 2026 I’ll nudge it up—more beans, more greens. I’m not turning it into a whole project, just a little more than 2025. 49 Waterbury USA Client Services Specialist
Elizabeth Gonzalez Yes — slightly.
2025 was decent, but on crunch weeks I slid into low‑fiber convenience stuff. In 2026 I’ll nudge it up—more beans/lentils and veg with weekday lunches, fewer white‑rice defaults. Not turning into a chia evangelist, just tightening it up.
32 Orlando USA Product Operations Manager
Elizabeth Sanchez Yes—slightly. I’ll nudge it up with more beans and veggie sides in the meals I already make. I’m not turning it into a whole project; if it fits the Sunday batch cook, great—if not, I’m not losing sleep over fiber grams. 35 St. Petersburg USA Relationship Manager
Elizabeth Torres Yes — I plan to bump it up a bit in 2026. When I stick with more beans, oats, and extra veggies, I feel better and my numbers behave, and honestly beans are cheap, so it fits our budget. Not a fad, just a little more of what already works. 52 Fresno USA Sales/Office
Ella Harris Yes—slightly. I’m not turning into a rabbit, but I’ll nudge it up in 2026. Practical stuff I’ll actually do:
  • Make chili and bean soups more often.
  • Oatmeal a couple mornings instead of yogurt every day.
  • Toss frozen veggies into whatever’s in the pan.
  • Whole-wheat bread/tortillas if they’re on sale—otherwise, not chasing it.
Mostly for budget and… let’s just say, keeping things moving. No fancy powders, no lectures.
33 Columbus USA Medical Biller
Ella Lopez No—I’m not planning to increase it. I already eat plenty of beans, greens, and garden stuff. It’ll ebb and flow with the seasons (more in summer, less raw in winter), but I’m not turning it into a 2026 project. 28 Norfolk USA N/A
Emily Anderson Yes—slightly. 2025 was decent, but on slammed site weeks I leaned too hard on quick protein and burritos. In 2026 I’m planning to nudge the fiber up a bit—more beans and veg, nothing fussy. 27 San Diego USA Field Engineer
Emily Flores Yes—slightly. I’m planning to bump it up a bit in 2026. I already do rice/beans and roasted veggies, but I want to be more consistent with beans, greens, and some oats. Nothing extreme—I’m not trying to turn my stomach into a science project—just a small increase so I feel fuller and keep things moving with these early shifts. 35 Lafayette USA Logistics Coordinator
Emily Gallegos Yes — I plan to nudge it up in 2026. 2025 was decent but inconsistent, and I’m over playing roulette with my gut (and with no insurance, I can’t afford drama). More beans/greens/oats in my Sunday cooks, nothing extreme, just steadier so I don’t backslide. 21 Sacramento USA Photographer
Emily Martin Yes—slightly. I already eat a decent amount (beans, veg, whole grains), but I want a small bump in 2026 for steadier energy and, frankly, better digestion. Nothing extreme or faddy—just more legumes and veg worked into the week so it’s consistent and doesn’t mess with my runs. 30 Virginia Beach USA Patient Services Manager
Emily Moore Yes — slightly. I’m bumping it up a notch in 2026. I feel better on higher-fiber days—steadier on shift and, frankly, less bloated—so I’ll lean harder on oats, beans, and extra veg. 55 Norfolk USA Warehouse Supervisor
Emma Smith Yes—planning to bump it up a bit in 2026.
Not going crazy or counting grams, but I’m folding in more veg and frijoles on repeat. It’s cheap, fills me up, and fits our Sunday batch-cook routine. 2025 was fine; 2026 just needs a little more consistency.
38 San Francisco USA Operations Coordinator
Emma White About the same. I already eat a lot of beans, lentejas, and roasted veggies, so I’m not planning some big fiber makeover for 2026. If it creeps up, fine, but I’m not chasing numbers. 29 Richmond USA Customer Success Specialist
Evelyn Lewis Yes—slightly. I already eat a decent amount, but I’m planning a small bump in 2026—more beans and leafy veg in the rotation, plus a habit of tossing flax into breakfasts. 49 Elizabeth USA Healthcare Project Manager
Grace Torres Yes. I plan to bump it up in 2026—nothing dramatic, just more of what I already do when I’m not wiped out: extra black beans/lentils, throw more greens in stews, oatmeal instead of sugary junk, and swap in brown rice here and there. No powders, no pricey “superfood” nonsense. If prices don’t spike and work doesn’t chew me up, I’ll keep it steady. 32 Miami USA Irrigation Technician
Hailey Coronado Yes—planning to bump it up a bit. I’m not tracking grams or doing anything fussy, but I want a little more than I managed in 2025 so I’m not starving at 3 p.m. Cheap, filling, and I already eat a lot of oats/beans anyway—just… more of that, not a whole “program.” 28 Norfolk USA Member Services Representative
Hannah Anderson Yes—I’m planning to nudge it up in 2026. Nothing dramatic, just a bit more beans/veg and oatmeal a couple extra days a week. I say this every January, so we’ll see if I actually stick with it. 38 Rock Hill USA Sales/Office
Hannah Anderson Yes—slightly. I already get a decent amount from beans, oats, and veggies, but I want to be more consistent and nudge it up a bit. No gimmicky powders—just real food. 53 Erie USA Compliance Analyst
Harper Brown Yes—slightly. 2025 was fine but inconsistent; in 2026 I want a steadier groove with more beans, oats, and veg in the rotation without counting grams like a maniac. If I can nudge it up without turning meals into homework, that’s the plan—and no, I’m not buying any goofy “gut reset” powders. 28 Allentown USA Management/Business/Science/Arts
Ingrid Moreno Yes— but just a bit, nothing dramatic. We already eat plenty of beans, but 2025 had too many rushed dinners and pan dulce nights. In 2026 I’m planning to toss in more veggies and swap in brown rice or whole-wheat tortillas when the price isn’t ridiculous—no fancy powders or “superfood” nonsense. If Grocery Outlet has a deal, great; if not, I’m not paying Safeway’s “healthy tax.” So yeah, a modest increase, practical and budget-friendly. 40 San Jose USA Material Handler
Isabella Harris Yes — I plan to bump it up a bit in 2026.
Reason: family history of hypertension/prediabetes, and honestly it’s cheap and easy to do with how I cook.
How I’ll do it: more beans in the Instant Pot, extra veggies with dinner, swap to higher‑fiber tortillas/bread, and oatmeal or chia a couple mornings. No supplements, just food.
45 Columbia USA Esthetician
Isabella Harris Yes—slightly. I was decent in 2025 but inconsistent; in 2026 I plan to bump it a bit by being more consistent with veggies and legumes in my Sunday meal prep. 33 Lakewood USA Service
Isabella Mckrell Yes—slightly. 2025 was decent (beans, roasted veggies, oats), but in 2026 I want to nudge it up with more greens and legumes. And no, I’m not messing with chalky fiber powders or gummy nonsense—just actual food and bigger salads. 22 Alexandria USA Student
Isabella Scott Yes—planning to bump it up a bit.
2025 was decent but kind of hit-or-miss (too many rushed, white‑rice weeks). In 2026 I want more steady fiber—more frijoles/lentils in our bowl nights, oats/chia at breakfast, and defaulting to corn or whole‑grain tortillas. Nothing extreme, just aiming to hit around 25-ish grams more consistently because my stomach and energy behave better—and it’s Aldi‑friendly.
31 Athens USA Medical Assistant
Isaura Badilla Yeah—slightly. I’m not turning it into a whole project, but I’ll lean a bit harder on beans, oats, and frozen veggies so meals stretch and my stomach isn’t cranky. Nothing dramatic, just a nudge up from 2025. 23 Sterling Heights USA Photographer
Jazmin Gutierrez Yes—slightly. I’m planning to nudge it up in 2026. I feel better and stay fuller when I lean into beans, veggies, and fruit, and we already eat a lot of that—so just a small bump, not some big overhaul. 28 Southaven USA Product Operations Coordinator
Jessica Bustillos No — I plan to keep it about the same. I already eat plenty (beans, lentils, greens, CSA veggies), so no deliberate increase, just staying consistent. 49 Portland USA Education Administrator
Jessica Gutierrez Yes — planning a modest increase. I’ll nudge it up with easy swaps: more beans/lentils in the Sunday pot, high‑fiber tortillas/bread, chickpea or whole‑wheat pasta, chia/flax in overnight oats, and extra frozen veg with dinners. I want better satiety and to keep cholesterol/gut in line as I hit 40, without adding time. 39 Philadelphia USA Project Manager
Jessica Pena Yes—slightly. 2025 was decent, but I got lazy on the craziest weeks, so in 2026 I’m nudging it up without turning into a bran cultist.

  • More lentil/bean nights
  • Oats or chia in breakfast
  • Whole‑grain tortillas/rice more often
  • Extra veg on the sheet pans
44 Raleigh USA Sales Operations Coordinator
Jessica Rodriguez Yes — I plan to bump it up a bit in 2026. I’m not turning into a chia-seed preacher or anything, but honestly my 2025 had too many rushed nights and my digestion told on me. More beans, veggies, and high‑fiber tortillas are easy wins for us, and they’re cheap, so… fine, fiber wins. 37 Akron USA Staffing Coordinator
Kailen Sanchez Yes—slightly. I’m not turning into a fiber-gummy person, but I feel better when I’m consistent. I’ll beef up my Sunday meal prep with more veg and frijoles/lentejas, do oatmeal a couple mornings, and swap in whole grains here and there. No tracking grams, just a modest bump that fits my grocery routine. 23 Denver USA Enrollment Coordinator
Kathryn Quezada Yeah—slightly increase. I did fine in 2025, but I want to be more consistent in 2026: think hitting around 25–30g most days, leaning on beans, oats, and frozen veg. Nothing dramatic, just fewer “skip the greens because I’m driving all day” excuses. My gut’s happier when I don’t half-step it. 25 Biloxi USA Ehs Specialist
Kelly Perez Yes — slightly.
I already get a decent amount from beans, brown rice, and roasted veggies, but I’ll nudge it up in 2026. Nothing dramatic—just a steady bump so meals keep me full and my numbers stay where they should.
50 Fort Worth USA Logistics Supervisor
Lacy Hernandez No. I’m not turning fiber into a project for 2026. I already do plenty of veggies, beans, and grain bowls during the week, and I’m not about to start counting grams. If anything, I’ll keep it steady and swap in an extra veg here and there when it fits. 41 Arlington USA Account Manager
Leslie Dominguez Yes — I plan to increase it.
2025 was all over the place (too many café pastries and stress-y weeks); my gut is happier when I’m consistent with beans, veggies, and oats, so 2026 me is leaning into more fiber. We’ll see if I can resist the late‑night In‑N‑Out detours, but that’s the vibe.
21 San Diego USA Freelancer
Leslie Moreno Yes—plan to bump it up a bit in 2026. More veggies and beans in meal prep, oatmeal most mornings, maybe swap in brown rice more often. Nothing drastic, just edging it up. 36 Fort Worth USA Warehouse Technician
Lillian Torres Yes—slightly. I already get a decent amount from beans, lentils, and veggies, but in 2026 I want to be more consistent—closer to 30g most days. Nothing fancy; just tighter meal prep, more oats/chia at breakfast, and swapping in brown rice a bit more so I’m not playing catch-up on hectic weeks. 35 Overland Park USA Service
Lily Garcia No. I already get plenty from beans, veggies, and oats. I’m planning to keep it about the same in 2026—maybe a tiny bump if I cook more beans, but nothing intentional. 35 Fresno USA Member Services Representative
Lily Johnson Yes—a little. I’m not doing some dramatic cleanse or buying gimmick powders, but I’m planning to bump it up in 2026.

  • More frijoles and lentils in the rotation (cheap, easy, everyone eats them).
  • Swap in brown rice or whole-wheat tortillas a couple nights a week, not every day.
  • Oatmeal for breakfast a few days instead of toast, and keep apples/pears on hand.
  • Toss extra frozen veggies into whatever’s in the air fryer.
Basically, small changes I’ll actually stick to—nothing fancy, nothing pricey.
38 Orlando USA Warehouse Worker
Linda Palomino Yes—slightly. I already get a decent amount, but in 2026 I plan to nudge it up a bit—more veggies with dinner and one extra bean/lentil meal most weeks. Helps me feel fuller and keeps things regular, so it’s worth the small push. 53 Bloomington USA Certified Nursing Assistant
Lisette Silvestre Yes—slightly. I already get a good amount from beans and veggies, but in 2026 I’ll lean a bit harder into it with my meal prep. No “fiber gummies” or powders—just more beans, oats, and whole grains. If a hectic week throws me off, I’m not obsessing over it. 22 Miami USA Operations Analyst
Maria Tinoco About the same. I already eat a lot of fiber (lentils, veggies, oats, the whole flexitarian drill), so I don’t plan to crank it up—just keep it consistent and not mess with my runs. 22 Winston-Salem USA Brand Strategist
Melissa Rios Yes—slightly. I’m planning to bump it up a bit in 2026. More beans and veggies, maybe some chia in the mornings. Nothing drastic—just enough to keep me fuller and help with the perimenopause nonsense. 49 Miami USA Office Manager
Mia Lewis Yes—slight increase. I already eat a decent amount (beans, veggies), but in 2026 I’ll nudge it up: an extra scoop of Instant Pot beans with lunches, more greens in caldo verde, maybe a sprinkle of chia in yogurt. Não to pricey powders or gimmicks—just real food, when Food City prices aren’t ridiculous. 38 Tucson USA Management/Business/Science/Arts
Mia Nguyen Yes—slightly. I’m already pretty decent on fiber, but I want to nudge it up in 2026 without obsessing over grams. More beans and veggies in our weeknight meals, chia in my yogurt, and swapping in heartier grains here and there. Mostly for steadier energy and, let’s be real, better digestion. 44 Columbia USA Account Manager
Natalie Bustamante Yes—slightly. I already eat a decent amount with my grain bowls and veggies, but I want a small bump in 2026. Cheap prevention, zero drama, and frankly one of the few things I can control while everything else melts down.
  • More beans/lentils in weekday bowls (easy Sprouts bulk-bin win).
  • Chia/flax in overnight oats or yogurt.
  • Grab higher-fiber tortillas/bread when it doesn’t taste like cardboard.
  • Keep a few veg-forward freezer meals for crunch weeks so I don’t default to junk.
Not going full psyllium-powder influencer—just incremental, sustainable changes.
26 Mesa USA Product Operations Manager
Natalie Navarro Yes — I’m planning to bump it up a bit in 2026. 2025 was inconsistent with pregnancy and convenience meals, and I’m not trying to live on beige food again. I’ll lean on easy wins—more beans, oats, berries, and veg tossed into whatever we’re already making. Nothing dramatic, just a steady nudge up. 26 Tuscaloosa USA Assistant Category Manager
Octavia Hernandez Yes — planning to bump it up a bit in 2026. I’m not doing any goofy powder trend; just more beans, veggies, and a scoop of chia in my smoothies. If I can sneak in one extra high‑fiber thing a day without making it a whole production, that’s the move. 32 Phoenix USA Route Operations Coordinator
Raja Pereira Yes—planning to bump it up a bit in 2026.

  • Postpartum reality: I’d rather not mess around with digestion when I’m healing and sleep‑deprived.
  • Easy/budget: Oats, beans, frozen veg—cheap, Aldi-friendly, and I already meal-prep them.
  • Low-effort win: If I can keep things, well, regular without fancy supplements, I’m doing it.
I’m not obsessing or counting grams, just adding an extra veggie/bean serving most days.
24 Augusta USA Virtual Receptionist
Raven Villafana No. I’ll probably keep it about the same. 2025 was already a lot of beans and veg for me, and with a newborn in 2026 I’m not chasing some fiber goal—if WIC produce holds, maybe a tiny bump, but I’m not counting on it. 22 Bowling Green USA Front Desk Clerk
Riley Perez Yes—slightly. I already get a decent amount from beans and veggies, but in 2026 I plan to bump it up a bit for satiety and staying regular. 40 Athens USA Branch Operations Coordinator
Riley Rodriguez Yes — modest bump. I’m not counting grams, but I’ll work in more beans/greens on Sundays and swap in oatmeal on workdays. Nothing drastic, just a bit higher than 2025. 54 Memphis USA IT Operations Manager
Riley White Yes—slightly.
I already eat a decent amount (beans, farro, veg), but I want to be more consistent. With all the stress lately, my gut’s been a diva, so bumping fiber a bit feels smart without getting obsessive.

  • Keep beans in the Sunday meal prep every week, not just “most.”
  • Add a veg side at lunch more days than not.
  • Rotate oatmeal/chia back into breakfasts when it’s cooler.
  • Default to farro/whole grains when I’m not in a rush.
I’m not counting grams—I’ll just nudge it up and call it good.
46 Mount Pleasant USA Management/Business/Science/Arts
Robin Lopez Yes—slightly. I already prioritize fiber, but in 2026 I want to nudge it up a bit with more beans and veggies in my meal prep. Nothing drastic. 44 Broken Arrow USA IT Program Manager
Sharon Talavera Yes—slightly. I already eat a fair amount, but in 2026 I plan to bump it up a notch without making it fussy.

  • More bean nights (Instant Pot pot of black beans or lentils for the week)
  • Swap in brown rice or farro more often instead of white
  • Bigger salad base at dinner, not just a token handful
  • Leave skins on roasted veg and potatoes—no reason to waste that
  • Chia/flax in my morning yogurt when I remember
I’m not giving up my kettle chips—let’s not get dramatic—but I can balance the rest of the day so it’s not a big deal.
51 Pittsburgh USA Relationship Manager
Sofia Martin Yeah—planning to bump it up a bit in 2026. Cheaper to lean on beans, oats, cabbage, and frozen veg anyway, and it keeps me full. I’m not counting grams or buying any goofy powders—just more of the stuff I already cook, assuming prices don’t go nuts. 24 Springdale USA N/A
Sofia Wright Yeah—slightly. I already do beans, veg, and oats on repeat, but in 2026 I’ll nudge it up a bit—more oatmeal on early shifts and extra veg in the Sunday batch. Nothing extreme, and definitely not chasing some influencer’s magic number—just enough so I’m not starving by 10 a.m. 25 Des Moines USA Forklift Operator
Sophia Garcia Yes—slightly. My 2025 fiber’s been decent, but I want to be more consistent. In 2026 I’m aiming for an extra serving most days—more beans and greens, swap in the high‑fiber tortillas—though during storm weeks, all bets are off. 45 Dallas USA Natural Resources/Construction/Maintenance
Sophia Perez Yes — plan to bump it up a bit in 2026 versus 2025. Nothing drastic; more beans and veggies with my usual meals if prices and schedule don’t go sideways. If it turns into extra fuss, I’ll drop it. 38 Albuquerque USA Natural Resources/Construction/Maintenance
Sophia Young No—I don’t plan any big change. I already eat oatmeal, beans, and veggies most weeks. If anything, maybe a slight bump if something’s on sale, but I’m not mapping out a fiber overhaul. 50 Albany USA Real Estate Assistant
Stephanie Ortega No. I’m keeping it about the same as 2025. We already do plenty of beans, lentils, oats, and veggies. I’m not chasing some extra-fiber goal unless my doctor tells me to—and with prices how they are, I’m not buying “extras” just for that. 36 Racine USA Homemaker
Tabatha Morales Yes — I’m planning to bump it up a bit in 2026.

Festival season and too many beignets did me dirty in 2025. I eat decent fiber now, but it’s inconsistent. Next year I want steadier habits: more black beans/lentils, big-batch veggie soups, chia in my smoothies, and swapping in brown rice/whole-grain tortillas more often. Not tracking grams, just aiming for less “white bread week” energy and more “my stomach isn’t mad at me” vibes.
22 New Orleans USA Surgical Scheduler
Tammy Gurule Yes—slightly. I did okay in 2025 but got inconsistent on crazy show weeks; in 2026 I plan to nudge it up with more beans and veg and fewer kettle chips. Nothing extreme, just steadier. 47 Columbia USA Service
Tara Cortes Yes—slightly. I’m not counting grams or anything, but I do plan to nudge it up in 2026. We already do lentil soup, tacos with frijoles, and roasted broccoli; I’ll lean into that a bit more—oatmeal instead of sugary cereal, apples with peanut butter, whole‑wheat tortillas when they’re on sale. It’s cheap, it keeps the kids fuller between soccer and homework, and it keeps, uh, things moving. No fancy supplements—just normal food I can grab at Aldi and toss in the slow cooker. 33 Carmel USA Permits Clerk
Tina Madera Yeah—slightly increase. I already eat a decent amount, but I feel better on busy shifts when I work in more beans, veggies, and oats. Not counting grams or turning into a chia-pudding influencer—just a modest bump using what I already cook. 44 Chesapeake USA Production/Transportation/Material Moving
Tracie Farley Short answer: no big increase. I’m already getting plenty from overnight oats, lentil soup, salads, and sheet‑pan veg. Upping it a lot just wrecks my stomach on run days, and I’m not trying to live like a psyllium commercial.

Plan for 2026: keep it steady, maybe a tiny bump on non‑run days via more beans/veg, but I’m not counting grams or doing powders. If anything, just be more consistent on weekends.
48 Jersey City USA Patient Access Coordinator
Vanessa Nieves Yes. I plan to nudge it up in 2026—more beans, oats, and veggies folded into what we already cook. Small increase, practical, not a whole new personality project. 45 Detroit USA Health Program Coordinator
Victoria Magdaleno Yes—slightly. 2025 was hit-or-miss for me, and I feel better when I’m not skimping on veggies/beans. I’m not turning meals into a math problem, but I’ll nudge things up and keep it simple.

  • More oats/chia with yogurt in the morning.
  • Whole-wheat tortillas/rice swaps when it doesn’t annoy me.
  • Beans or lentils in the Instant Pot on Sundays so weeknights aren’t just chicken + white rice.
If it sticks, great. If not, I’m not losing sleep over it.
27 Lake Charles USA Program Manager
Victoria Sanchez Yes — I plan to bump it up a bit in 2026. 2025 was inconsistent, too many rushed dinners, and my gut lets me know when I slack. I feel better when I’m actually getting beans, oats, and veggies in regularly. Not a overhaul, just more consistency. 26 Springfield USA Project Manager
Victoria Torres Yes — slightly. I plan to bump it up a bit in 2026 with more beans, oats, and veggies worked into the usual meals. Nothing fancy, no powders—just practical stuff I’ll actually stick to. 29 Madison USA Inside Sales
Victoria Williams Plan: Keep it about the same in 2026—maybe a tiny bump, but nothing dramatic.

I already live on beans, oats, veggies, and rice bowls. I’m not turning my life into a fiber spreadsheet; if I remember to toss in chia or an extra veg, cool. Otherwise, steady as she goes.
29 Spokane USA Production/Transportation/Material Moving
Zoey Wilson Yes — I plan to nudge it up in 2026. 2025 was inconsistent, so I’m aiming for steadier fiber from actual food (beans, veg, oats, high‑fiber tortillas) without messing with those chalky fiber bars that wreck my stomach. 24 Lansing USA Healthcare Project Coordinator
Response Summary
Overview
Typical response: Most respondents plan a modest, food-first increase in dietary fiber for 2026 rather than a radical overhaul. Changes are pragmatic and low-effort: more beans, oats, whole grains, frozen or seasonal vegetables, and simple swaps that fit existing meal-prep routines. Motivations are practical (satiety, steadier energy, digestion, prevention) and cost-sensitive; there is strong resistance to supplements, powders or gram-counting. Notable divergences: a small but real segment will keep intake the same (already high-fiber diets, newborn/postpartum constraints, athletic/digestive sensitivities), and a few answers go beyond typical brevity to give highly actionable, retailer-specific tactics. Example Quote(s):
  • Alexis King: "Yes — I’m planning to bump it up a bit in 2026. More beans, oats, and veggies in the mix, nothing extreme. And no, I’m not choking down those chalky fiber bars."
  • Abigail Young: "I’m not counting grams or messing with powders — just tightening up habits. More beans (pinto/black) and lentil nights; Extra veggies in sheet‑pan dinners; Fruit as the default snack; Chia/flax in my morning yogurt"

Modest, food-first increase (small, sustainable nudges rather than overhaul) 87 Emma Smith Not going crazy or counting grams, but I’m folding in more veg and frijoles on repeat. It’s cheap, fills me up, and fits our Sunday batch-cook routine.
Staple-based tactics: beans, lentils, oats, whole grains, frozen veg 93 Grace Torres I plan to bump it up in 2026 — extra black beans/lentils, throw more greens in stews, oatmeal instead of sugary junk, and swap in brown rice here and there.
Meal-prep, consistency and low-effort swaps (Sunday batch cooking, Instant Pot, ready frozen packs) 65 Antonela Abrajan I’ll nudge it up with more beans/veg and some whole‑grain swaps. I feel better, it’s cheap, and no, I’m not turning into a chia‑pudding person.
Rejecting supplements/gimmicks and low interest in gram-counting 64 Harper Brown If I can nudge it up without turning meals into homework, that’s the plan — and no, I’m not buying any goofy 'gut reset' powders.
Budget- and retailer-sensitivity: prefer inexpensive staples and sale-driving choices 40 Bonny Rayas Yes — slightly more. I already eat beans, lentils, and oatmeal, but in 2026 I’ll bump it up a bit with more veggies, salads, and whole grains when they’re on sale. No pricey powders — just regular food that fits my budget.
Health drivers: satiety, digestion, blood-sugar/cholesterol prevention (everyday benefits motivate change) 29 Isabella Harris Reason: family history of hypertension/prediabetes, and honestly it’s cheap and easy to do with how I cook. More beans in the Instant Pot, extra veggies with dinner...
No-change subgroup: already high-fiber, life-stage constraints, or digestive/athletic reasons to stay steady 13 Jessica Bustillos No — I plan to keep it about the same. I already eat plenty (beans, lentils, greens, CSA veggies), so no deliberate increase, just staying consistent.
Outliers
Persona Snippet Reason
Charlotte Torres You asked this twice. Anyway: <b>yes — slightly increase</b>. Meta-comment referring to survey duplication — indicates respondent fatigue or questionnaire design issue; unusual in focusing on the instrument rather than behavior.
Abigail Young I’m not counting grams or messing with powders — just tightening up habits. More beans (pinto/black) and lentil nights; Extra veggies in sheet‑pan dinners... Grab nopales or hearty greens when I’m at H‑E‑B or the Pearl market. Exceptionally detailed and operational: gives granular shopping and preparation tactics and even retailer cues — rare and valuable for activation/retail partnerships.
Emily Gallegos 2025 was decent but inconsistent, and I’m over playing roulette with my gut (and with no insurance, I can’t afford drama). More beans/greens/oats in my Sunday cooks, nothing extreme, just steadier so I don’t backslide. Links dietary choices to health vulnerability and financial risk (no insurance) — shows deeper stakes behind otherwise modest intentions.
Raven Villafana No. I’ll probably keep it about the same. 2025 was already a lot of beans and veg for me, and with a newborn in 2026 I’m not chasing some fiber goal — if WIC produce holds, maybe a tiny bump, but I’m not counting on it. Life-stage and access constraint (newborn/WIC) drives decision to maintain rather than increase — highlights an access/time-limited segment.
Tracie Farley Upping it a lot just wrecks my stomach on run days, and I’m not trying to live like a psyllium commercial. Athletic/digestive sensitivity constrains willingness to increase fiber — distinct barrier compared with those who see only upside.
Tabatha Morales Festival season and too many beignets did me dirty in 2025... I’m aiming for steadier fiber from actual food (beans, veg, oats). Vivid, emotional anecdote linking past indulgence to planned change — demonstrates that motivation can be emotionally framed rather than purely practical.

Persona Correlations
Overview
Across the combined 100 responses, the dominant pattern is a modest, pragmatic, food-first intention to increase dietary fiber in 2026 (or to be more consistent with existing habits). Respondents overwhelmingly prefer whole-food strategies—beans/legumes, oats, whole grains, vegetables, frozen veg and batch-cooking tactics—over powders, bars or strict gram-tracking. Key barriers that shape realistic adoption are busy/shift schedules, parenting demands, and price sensitivity; life-stage health drivers (perimenopause, cholesterol, blood‑sugar concerns) also push some older respondents toward incremental increases. While most plan only a small, sustainable ‘nudge’ rather than an overhaul, a minority (across incomes and ages) report already-sufficient fiber or explicitly decline to change.
Responses analyzed: 100
Key Segments
Segment Attributes Insight Supporting Personas
Midlife women (approx. 45+) age: 45–55+, gender: Female, motivations: perimenopause, digestion, steady energy This cohort frames fiber increases as a pragmatic medical/self-care response (gut regularity, hormonal shifts, cholesterol/blood‑sugar management). They prefer routine, low‑effort food swaps (extra veg, beans, leaving skins on produce) rather than trendy supplements or strict tracking. Angie Cavagnaro, April Llerena, Bonny Rayas, Emily Moore, Elizabeth Allen, Kelly Perez, Melissa Rios, Lillian Torres
Parents / busy household managers parent: True, time-constrained, focus on family-acceptance and satiety Parents plan modest, family-friendly swaps that fit batch cooking and kid preferences (one more bean night, bulk oats, frozen veg). Their adoption is conditioned by convenience and child acceptance rather than nutrition novelty. Abigail Young, Aubrey Thompson, Brandie Ramirez, Emma Smith, Charlotte Scott, Tara Cortes, Sofia Martin, Vanessa Nieves
Budget-conscious / lower-income shoppers income_bracket: lower–mid, strong price sensitivity, use of discount retailers/WIC Cost is a primary determinant of which fiber strategies are realistic. These respondents prioritize beans, oats, bulk/frozen veg and store deals (Aldi, Grocery Outlet, WIC). They reject expensive powders or branded supplements as unaffordable and unnecessary. Amelia Nguyen, Bonny Rayas, Ella Harris, Emma Smith, Emily Gallegos, Ingrid Moreno, Raven Villafana
Younger adults who cook (20s–30s) age: ~21–33, meal-prep oriented, early-career / mixed incomes Younger cooks favor simple, scalable tactics (Instant Pot beans, overnight oats, lentil/bean nights). They reject influencer-driven quick fixes and gram-counting, preferring sustainable habits enabled by batch-cooking. Antonela Abrajan, Amelia Nguyen, Charlotte Lopez, Emily Gallegos, Catherine Meza, Emma White, Hailey Coronado
Spanish-language / Hispanic respondents language: Spanish mentioned, cultural food references (frijoles, nopales, tortillas), family-centric eating patterns Cultural food traditions and affordability guide choices: beans, corn/stuffed tortillas and rice swaps are seen as natural, acceptable ways to increase fiber for family meals. Messaging and solutions that align with familiar staples will be more credible. Brandie Ramirez, Bonny Rayas, Elizabeth Torres, Emily Flores, Abigail Young, Ingrid Moreno, Isabella Scott
Higher-income professionals / already-high baseline income_bracket: higher, white-collar roles, often report adequate current fiber Even with purchasing power, many in this segment prefer modest food-based tweaks and consistency (larger salads, leaving skins on produce). A distinct subgroup reports no planned change because they already meet their targets. Amanda Roman, Avery White, Antonela Abrajan, Alyson Velasquez, Amelia Wright, Jessica Bustillos
Shift-based / physically demanding workers occupation: logistics/production/healthcare support, irregular hours / long shifts, priority: sustained energy This group selects fiber sources for satiety and practical portability (oat bowls, beans in slow cooker). Inconsistent schedules cause lapses; therefore, small, portable, low-prep strategies are prioritized over multi-step interventions. Sofia Wright, Tina Madera, Tammy Gurule, Zoey Wilson, Tabatha Morales
Shared Mindsets
Trait Signal Personas
Food-first preference Across ages and incomes there is a strong, cross-cutting preference for whole-food sources (beans, oats, vegetables, whole grains) and a clear rejection of powders, gummy supplements or fiber bars as first-line strategies. Alexis King, Amelia Nguyen, Isabella Mckrell, Avery White, Emily Moore, Harper Brown, Ingrid Moreno, Mia Lewis
Incremental, pragmatic approach Most respondents describe intentions as a small ‘nudge’ (one extra bean night, swap white for brown rice) rather than an overhaul or strict gram-tracking; sustainability and simplicity are prioritized over ambitious targets. Amelia Flores, Amber Ruiz, Aubrey Thompson, Chloe Thompson, Emma Smith, Riley White, Robin Lopez
Meal-prep and batch-cooking enablement Sunday batches, Instant Pot beans, overnight oats and potluck/bowl nights are widely cited tactics that make small fiber increases feasible amid busy lives. Ella Harris, Emily Gallegos, Antonela Abrajan, Arthur Martienz, Charlotte Torres, Tabatha Morales, Victoria Magdaleno
Motivated by satiety and digestion rather than dieting fads Primary motivators are practical (feeling full longer, regularity, steady energy) rather than chasing weight-loss miracles or influencer-driven gram targets. Emma White, Jazmin Gutierrez, Isabella Harris, Riley Perez, Natalie Bustamante, Linda Palomino
Price and availability condition choices Store choice, sales and staple prices determine whether intended swaps are realistic; cheaper staples consistently surface as the most scalable options. Bonny Rayas, Emma Smith, Elizabeth Torres, Ella Harris, Amelia Nguyen, Ingrid Moreno, Raven Villafana
Divergences
Segment Contrast Personas
Higher-income respondents reporting no-change While most higher-income respondents plan modest tweaks, a subset (e.g., operations managers, professionals) report they already meet fiber needs and will not increase intake. Alyson Velasquez, Amelia Wright, Ella Lopez, Jessica Bustillos
Parents constrained by newborn/postpartum realities Although many parents plan small increases, some (notably postpartum/newborn households) expect to maintain current habits due to caregiving demands and WIC or supply unpredictability. Raven Villafana, Sophia Young, Stephanie Ortega
Fitness/performance-driven run/athlete constraint A few respondents (runners/athletes) resist larger fiber increases because increased fiber can impair comfort/performance on run days—introducing a tolerance-based constraint less referenced elsewhere. Tracie Farley
Explicit rejection of supplements versus opportunistic supplement use Majority reject powders/supplements, yet a small minority may still use fortified products if convenient—this split suggests possible openness to very targeted, familiar formats (e.g., fortified bread) but resistance to ‘novel’ powders. Harper Brown, Ingrid Moreno, Mia Nguyen, Victoria Torres
Follow-up Questions
  • What specific product formats (e.g., canned bean mixes, ready-to-heat grain + legume bowls, fortified tortillas) would be perceived as both convenient and culturally acceptable across Hispanic and non-Hispanic segments?
  • At what price points do commonly cited staples (beans, oats, frozen veg) become barriers versus enablers for sustained increases among lower‑income shoppers?
  • Which messaging frames (satiety, digestion/regularity, energy/stamina, hormonal health) are most motivating by segment (parents, midlife women, shift-workers, younger adults)?
  • How do activity/tolerance constraints (e.g., runners who limit fiber pre-workout) change willingness to increase daily fiber, and what timing strategies (meal timing, fiber type) would make adoption easier?
  • Would lightly fortified everyday staples (e.g., fiber-enriched tortillas or canned beans) overcome resistance to supplements, or does the objection focus on format/marketing rather than fortification itself?
  • What role do store access and shopping patterns (discount retailers, WIC participation, bulk buying) play in the long-term maintenance of increased fiber intake?
  • How do family dynamics (children’s taste acceptance, partner preferences) influence which fiber strategies are adopted at home versus individually?
Recommendations & Next Steps
Overview
Signal is clear: users intend a modest, food‑first fiber increase via beans, oats, whole grains, and frozen/seasonal veg — not supplements, not gram‑counting. Motivations are satiety, digestion, steady energy, and budget fit. A minority will maintain intake due to postpartum time constraints (WIC), already-high intake, or athletic GI sensitivity. One respondent flagged duplicate questioning, indicating survey fatigue. For an org set up to test major app changes, prioritize experiments that swap clinical tracking for habit nudges, elevate low‑cost staples, and add access‑aware features (WIC/EBT cues), while offering pacing for sensitive users.

Risks & Mitigations
# Risk Mitigation Owner
1 Over‑reliance on grams tracking alienates users who prefer no counting. Make servings‑based goals the default; keep grams as an optional advanced view. Product
2 Retailer/WIC data gaps or inaccuracies undermine trust. Start with curated tags; pilot with 1–2 retailers; add disclaimers and feedback flagging. Partnerships
3 Sudden fiber ramps trigger GI issues and churn among athletes/sensitive users. Default to gradual ramp, add low‑residue mode and pre‑event safeguards. Content + UX
4 Postpartum/time‑constrained users ignore features perceived as high effort. Prioritize 15‑min, one‑pan options with freezer staples; minimize steps and cognitive load. Product + Content
5 Survey fatigue and duplicated questions reduce signal for experiments. Audit and dedupe instruments; throttle intercept frequency; rotate question banks. Research/Analytics
6 Narrow focus on fiber crowds out broader meal quality and satisfaction. Position fiber as one dimension; maintain balanced meal scoring and taste cues. Product
Timeline
Weeks 0–2: Survey dedupe; CRM series build; goal toggle prototype.
Weeks 3–6: Content sprint (12 recipes), digestive pacing, launch servings‑based goal A/B; stand up Research Ops Loop.
Weeks 6–10: Ship Batch‑Cook Planner MVP; Athlete/Sensitive Gut mode test; expand cost/access tags.
Weeks 10–14: Retailer/WIC pilot; iterate nudges and content from KPI readouts; plan scale rollout.
