∙ 13y agoFiber actually is a complex carbohydrate (starches also fall under this category and in moderation are important to your diet too). That is why it is labeled on the nutrition label under carbohydrates. It is extremely important to your diet by helping with digestion, hormone secretion, brain function, disease control, etc. Unlike sugars (simple carbohydrates) the molecules of fiber are longer and more complex chains. Fiber is classified as soluble and insoluble but both should be included in your diet. By the way, if you were to Google this or "is fiber a carbohydrate," you would find many web sights confirming this information.

No. Many (all?) vegetables do contain carbohydrates, but the two things aren't identical.
