For some of us that have no taste for fruits and vegetables, fiber supplements are a god send. As for me, I prefer psyllium products that contain the husk and grain. I do also eat whole grain breads and pasta.
As for beginner supplements, the best thing I can recommend is a multi-vitamin, if you diet is insufficient (or maybe not). There is evidence that the mass grown vegetables have been losing nutritional density over the past 50 years.
If you don't eat fish, a fish oil supplement might not be a bad idea.
I have always found a 40,30,30 ratio(by calories, not grams) of carbs, protein, and fats works well for maintenance.
