Every resource I went to about fiber said that the average person should be eating 25-30g of fiber every day (and not more than 40g—yikes!). When you first start writing in your food diary, don’t make any changes to how much fiber you eat for the first few days. I found that my original average intake was only around 16-18g per day. Work your way up slowly to the recommended amount to allow for your body to adjust. If you try to eat too much too fast, you will find yourself very uncomfortable (stomach cramps, gas, etc.)
