Recommended Fiber vs Daily Calorie Intake
How Fiber Recommendations Work
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories consumed.
Formula
Fiber (g) = (Daily Calories / 1000) x 14
About 25% should come from soluble fiber and 75% from insoluble fiber.
Example Calculation
A person consuming 2,000 calories per day.
- 01Fiber = (2000 / 1000) x 14 = 28 g
- 02Soluble fiber = 28 x 0.25 = 7 g
- 03Insoluble fiber = 28 x 0.75 = 21 g
