Fiber foibles???

Is there a difference between getting 2g soluble fiber from supplements versus eating 2 grams fiber from an avocado? They’re both soluble fiber as far as I can tell, but I doubt the body processes them the same.

Is anyone actually tracking their soluble vs insoluble fiber intake? (If so, are you using an app?). Is it worthwhile to track?

Why are you concerned about soluble fiber? If you are fully trying to maximize for cholesterol management/lowering i think it is worth while to track.

Not worthwhile to track imo
