I was figuring percentages a couple days ago and DH was so amazed that I actually knew the formula to use. He uses formulas at work all day and was amazed when I said fat has 9 cals per gram. LOL. You can do a quick guesstimate if you just multiply by 10. So 3 grams in 100 cals would be about 30% in guesstimate terms. 5 grams in 300 cals would be around 15%. This is just the quick and not so accurate method.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
