    Bruh it’s 19 to 38 GRAMS of fiber. Like an ounce. We aren’t getting an OUNCE of fiber a day.

    Don’t fucking gatekeep fiber. If it’s a green vegetable literally swimming in ranch it’s better than eating fries or whatever protein bullshit they’re pairing everything with these days.

      except they aren’t gatekeeping fiber, iceberg lettuce doesn’t have a significant amount of fiber in it at all. In fact, it has a similar amount of fiber as french fries. To meet fiber goals you really need to be eating beans and whole grains.

        Jesus I thought you were wrong, and you are, but only because it has about half the fiber of like, McDonald’s French fries.

        What good is lettuce?!

          Fresh lettuce adds crunch to a salad and has lots of water. But yeah, by itself it does not bring a lot of value.
