    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.
