Yes; the surprising thing is that although many vegetables and meat seem "fibrous" they really don't have a whole lot of fibre--meaning cellulose (insoluble) or pectin (soluble). Meat has no fibre by this definition.
Whole grains have lots of fibre--that really is the main source of fibre although veggies and fruits have small amounts of fibre.

What compounds found in carrots?
Carrots contain various compounds such as beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A), antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, fiber, and vitamins such as vitamin C and K. These compounds contribute to the health benefits of carrots, such as improved vision, heart health, and immune function.
Do carrots contain lipids?
Carrots contain very minimal amounts of lipids, primarily in the form of small amounts of fatty acids. Their nutritional profile is predominantly characterized by carbohydrates, particularly sugars and dietary fiber, along with vitamins and minerals, making them low in fat overall. Therefore, while carrots do have some lipids, they are not significant contributors to the overall nutritional content.
Does tofu contain fiber?

How many chemicals in carrot?
Carrots contain a variety of chemicals, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals. They are rich in beta-carotene, which gives them their orange color and is a precursor to vitamin A. Carrots also contain other carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, as well as fiber, potassium, and vitamin K.
Do carrots contain lutein?

Why do you have carrots in your bowel movements?
Carrots are mostly fiber, and fiber is often indigestible, meaning your intestines cannot absorb or break it down (which is why carrots are not high in calories). Because the intestines cannot absorb or break the carrots down, your bowel movements will often have whole chunks of carrot if you ate carrots recently.
What does carrot contains?
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. They also contain fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin.
Do carrots cause constipation?
The answer is not quite a yes or no, there are factors involved. The short answer: Carrots + a healthy intake of water should not cause constipation Carrots + a low intake of water, may cause constipation The long answer: First off you need to understand that the lower intestines job is to remove liquids from foods. If you have food moving through the intestines too slow, they become dry and hard to move which creates a cycle that repeats until almost nothing is moving (constipation) Two things help keep the intestines moving at a proper pace: water and fiber The biggest mistake some people make when trying to increase fiber intake, is not including enough water to along with it. In some cases, high fiber foods have a reasonable amount of liquid included in contrast to their fiber volume (apples and bananas for example) In other foods, they may contain good fiber volume, but not as much liquid. Carrots for example contain a good amount of fiber but not enough liquid volume on their own to make it through the intestines without drying out. Carrots therefore require extra fluid intake to keep them from backfiring and causing constipation instead of preventing it. A similar problem would result if you were to use powder or pill fiber without enough water intake, the fiber by itself would dry out in the intestine and cause blockage. So, if you believe carrots are causing you constipation, they probably are, but most likely because you are not taking in enough fluid(water) to take advantage of the fiber they contain. You would have a similar problem with any fiber source that does not contain high amounts liquid
