Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes treat 'fibre' as countable in this sense and say *'many fibres' when talking about food. For nutrition, use it as an uncountable noun: 'a lot of fibre', 'enough fibre', 'more fibre'. Another confusion is spelling: British English uses 'fibre', American English uses 'fiber'.
