"More energy (calories) is spent digesting and absorbing high fiber foods. In fact, if you increase your fiber intake to 35 grams a day, you'll automatically burn 250 calories a day, without exercising more or eating less. And fiber helps move food through your system more efficiently. This means fewer calories are left to be stored as fat."
