    It goes by age more than anything but a good general number is 25 grams a day

    Oh, and 25 grams should be the minimum.

    I aim from 30-50 grams a day. There's a large amount of colon cancer in my family and I'd like to do my best to avoid it.

    i do 30-35 a day, and its pretty easy to do with lots of fruits veggies high fiber bread muffins and fiber water.

    to me it is the best thing i have learned so far more fiber=lower weight and healthier eating b/c im not hungry all the time

    Wow! I am not getting enough fiber; I am barely consuming 14g a day--sometimes less. Any suggestions, besides drinking Metamucil (spelling could be wrong??) :frown:
