Fibre has been added to the algorithm because fibre-rich foods are healthier and more filling choices, which is helpful for wellness and weight loss. Fibre-rich foods will tend to be lower in Points values because we want to make healthy choices like fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, beans, peas, and lentils the easier choice. Most people don’t eat enough fibre so we want to nudge you towards those choices, while still giving you the flexibility to eat any food you love. Many foods that are rich in fibre are also nutrient dense, meaning they contain additional vitamins and minerals that are important for good health. Eating more fibre is associated with lower cholesterol and a lowered risk for heart disease, decreased risk for type 2 diabetes, and improved digestive health. Fibre consumption is also associated with increased feelings of satisfaction and satiety.
