FibCalc - Fiber in food calculator

Enhance your diet and improve weight loss results using this simple tool.

This calculator will let you know at a glance how fattening any piece of food is, so you can take more informed decisions for your daily intake.

Just type in the fiber and carbs information from the product's nutrition facts, and you'll get a 3 steps rating:

*Not fattening - contains 3 or more grams of fiber per each 20 grams of carbs

*Average - between 2 and 3 grams of fiber per 20g carbs

*Very fattening - 2 grams of fiber and below

Why has the carbs to fiber proportion such an influence on the body fattening process?

Food's carbs are turned into sugars, and fiber slows down the arrival of those sugars to the blood stream, creating a pace at which the body can use them as "fuel" as they arrive.

On the contrary, when a piece of food is poor in fiber, too many sugars will reach the blood stream in a short period, and then the body has to resort to store part of that sugar as fat, therefore making us gain weight.

By simply giving priority to foods with high fiber contents, you will have added a powerful resource to your weight loss strategy.

This calculator has been designed with simplicity in mind, so you can check any product easily, choose between different candidates, use it at places like the supermarket...
