Frequently asked questions
How much fiber do adults usually need?
General targets vary by age, sex, calorie intake, pregnancy, and breastfeeding status. Many adult recommendations fall around 21–38 grams per day.

This method scales fiber intake with overall food intake and is commonly used when a person's daily calorie intake is known.
Can I eat too much fiber?
