4 Scrumptious, High-Fiber Breakfasts to Keep You Full Until Lunch

Fiber is quite the nutrient superstar: Not only does it help promote regular digestion and keep you feeling full for longer, but it's also linked to reducing the risk of developing conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

You should get at least 25 grams of fiber from whole foods for every 2,000 calories you eat per day, according to the FDA. (So if you eat fewer than 2,000 cals a day, you'll need a bit less than 25 grams of fiber and if you eat more than 2,000 calories a day, you'll need more than 25 grams.)

However, the average American adult only gets about 15 grams of fiber per day, a number we can all improve on. To help meet your daily fiber quota, wake up to these delicious high-fiber breakfast recipes. All pack in 28 percent or more of your daily recommended value of the nutrient, bringing you over a quarter-way closer to the goal — all while keeping midday cravings at bay.

If you're a fan of spicy food, this breakfast burrito recipe will give you just the pop of flavor you're looking for.

When you pair a high-fiber food with some healthy fats, you can kiss morning cravings goodbye. This recipe calls for half of a medium avocado, which is a great source of healthy, unsaturated fat, according to Harvard Health Publishing.

Although a breakfast salad recipe may be a little unconventional, this dish is something you want to add to your menu. It's low in sugar and full of nutrient-rich ingredients, including kale and sweet potatoes — which help bring the fiber count to 9 grams, or 36 percent of your daily value.

This recipe calls for whole eggs, which are an excellent source of protein. And while it's true that egg yolks are high in cholesterol, eating eggs can also lead to elevated levels of HDL cholesterol, which is actually beneficial for health, according to Keck Medicine of USC.

Another commonly referenced superfood, chia seeds are also packed with nutrients. Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can benefit the heart by potentially helping lower bad cholesterol (partially due to the high fiber content), blood pressure and inflammation, according to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Full of grains, high-quality protein and vegetables, this recipe takes breakfast to a whole new level.
