- cassianoleal 4y agoThe Mayo Clinic [0] says the recommended daily intake for adults is 38g for men or 25g for women. A little less if you're over 50. The USDA [1] makes their calculations from a proportion of 14g fiber for each 1000kcal consumed - if you're an adult male with a healthy diet you're likely consuming around 2000-2500kcal, which puts your fiber needs at 28-35g per day. You probably need more of it, but I'm not a doctor and even less *your* doctor, so please don't just take my word for it. :) [0] https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/fiber/art-20043983 https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-h...
