Most Americans only get:
👉 10–15 grams per day
This is less than half of what’s recommended — which is why you see:
Slower weight loss
Constipation (especially on GLP-1 meds)
Blood sugar instability
Increased hunger
🥦 Daily recommended fiber intake
For Adults (most commonly used guideline):
Women:
👉 25 grams per day
Men:
👉 38 grams per day
