How Much Fibre Do I Need?
Most adults are falling short on one of the most important (and underrated) nutrients for gut health, blood sugar balance, and feeling full: fiber. The daily recommendation is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men, yet the average intake in North America is only around 15 grams per day. That’s a big gap, and when we don’t get enough, we often feel it through sluggish digestion, more hunger between meals, or inconsistent energy. So here’s my question for you today: Do you currently track your fiber intake, or do you think about it at all when planning your meals? If you’re not sure where you stand, I encourage you to take a quick look at your food for the next few days (even without weighing or measuring everything). You might be surprised by what you discover. Let me know if your hitting the recommended intake, or if adding more fiber is goal you’re working towards.
