There are several great options to pack fiber into your morning meals. One of the best and most versatile ways is to include whole grains. Americans spend over $700 million annually on laxatives (no, it’s not a typo) due to constipation.  Whole grain cereals, such as Cheerios, Wheat Chex, oatmeal, and shredded wheat, as well as whole wheat bread, along with whole fruit or vegetables, will add fiber in the morning to get things moving in your gastrointestinal tract and help keep you regular.
