How it works

How we set your fiber goal

Your goal comes from the U.S. Dietary Reference Intakes for adults.

1

Your age and sex

Fiber needs are set by age and sex, based on typical energy needs.

2

Your daily goal

Adults under 51: 25 g for women and 38 g for men. Adults 51 and over: 21 g for women and 30 g for men.

3

Build up slowly

Increase by a few grams every few days so your gut has time to adjust.

Tips

Fiber tips on a GLP-1

Go gradually

GLP-1s slow digestion. Adding fiber too fast can cause bloating and gas.

Drink with it

Fiber needs water to work. Pair higher-fiber meals with extra fluids.

Easy sources

Berries, oats, beans, lentils, chia seeds, vegetables and whole grains.

Ask about supplements

If food isn’t enough, ask your clinician whether a fiber supplement is right for you.
