    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?! It’s soggy and disgusting and it’s not even that GOOD for you?!

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