Most Americans do not consume enough fiber- with some studies showing we eat less than half the daily recommended amount.  For men, the daily recommendation is between 30-38 grams and for women, the recommended daily intake is between 21-25 grams.  According to registered dietitians at the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, fiber is good for gut-health, it helps with weight management by helping you feel fuller for longer, it helps regulate blood sugar, and it helps maintain regularity aiding in smooth digestion.
