DIETARY FIBRE The average amount of dietary fibre consumed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people per day was 18 grams and the mean contribution to energy intake from dietary fibre was 1.8%. The leading food group that contributed to the intake of dietary fibre was Cereals and cereal products (31%) with Regular breads, and bread rolls (plain/unfilled/untopped varieties) (17%) being the main contributor. Other food groups that contributed to the intake of dietary fibre were: Vegetable products and dishes (19%), Cereals based products and dishes (16%) and Fruit products and dishes (14%) (see Table 10.13). Was there a difference by remoteness? How did this compare with non-Indigenous people? 1.
