Like most beans, kidney beans are very high in fiber content. These beans have almost 7 grams of fiber per serving, as well as 7.65 grams of protein.

12. Chickpeas

Fiber per ½ cup (cooked): 6.25 grams (22% DV)

One half-cup serving of chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) contains over 6 grams of fiber. So, pouring some over your salad will help you hit your daily requirements with minimal effort. Just be sure to keep portions small so that you don’t overload on calories, especially when they are not the main event of your meal; a ¼ cup serving contains close to 200 calories in total.
