Males need 37g of fiber daily for optimum health. That’s the equivalent of 568g of raspberries or 657g of green peas.

If your diet is so lacking in fiber that you need to take pills to make up for it, fix your damn diet.

Don’t take the pills - the serving size on them is very misleading. You’dhave to take a ton of them to have any effect. Gotta go with the powder.
Nothing wrong with supplementation! It’s hard to eat that much fiber due to the relatively low fiber density of most foods. We adapted to our food sources, not so much the other way around - and we don’t spend all day chewing on fibrous, foraged plants anymore. Plus, psyllium husk is a food. It’d be the same as eating a shitload of flax or something but with fewer calories.

So you eat half a kilo of raspberries, and then the rest of your diet is a juice cleanse? Here an example diet: oats for breakfast (6 g), a sandwich loaded with greens for lunch (4 g), chili for dinner (15 g). Throw in an apple for a snack (5 g). It’s really not that hard.
The National Academy of Medicine recommends:
• Women 51 and older: 21 grams of fiber per day
• Men 51 and older: 30 grams of fiber per day
Now your numbers go with 45 g per day, but honestly that example diet would leave me hungry. I’d probably also have a peanut butter and banana sandwich (7 g). Throw in a small amount of berries or raisins into the breakfast oats and we’ve hit your higher target.

37g is still low. A good target to aim for is 100g.

How many weetabix biscuits?
ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
It looks like there are spme that are 10g/serving so 3.7 servings. But then I’m seeing others that are 4g per 2 biscuit serving? So like 18.5 biscuits
