The Dietary Reference Intakes set an Adequate Intake for total fiber of 25 g a day for women aged 19 to 50 and 38 g for men of the same ages. Measured against those, the 16.3 g in a 1 cup serving of beans and tomatoes, no added fat is 65% of the first and 43% of the second. US food labels use a single Daily Value of 28 g instead, which puts this serving at 58%.
Calorie for calorie, the figure is 6.3 g of fiber per 100 kcal (this serving is 258 kcal). Among the 114 legumes & beans with USDA energy data here that is 13th, and 84th across all 957. The intakes above were derived from 14 g of fiber per 1,000 kcal, or 1.4 g per 100 kcal, so this food sits above the ratio a whole day of eating is meant to reach.
Getting all 25 g from beans and tomatoes, no added fat alone would take 2 servings, and 38 g would take 3. Most days reach the target through several different sources.

Gram weights come from the household measures on the USDA record; fiber and energy for each portion are its per-100 g values scaled to that weight.
You have the number. Adding Beans and Tomatoes, no Added Fat to the tracker is free - as is every one of the 961 foods here - but the tracker only keeps the last 14 days in view. Premium keeps every week of your log and turns that history into trends: your average fiber per logged day, the days you hit your goal, and how many of the 30 weekly plant groups you have actually eaten. Custom foods and JSON/CSV export are included.
