Is it possible to have to much fiber? I almost always go over my daily amount for fiber but I eat a ton of fresh fruits and veggies. Is it a bad thing?

    Hahaha just makes you poop easier! Don't forget to increase water intake tho, cause otherwise it can be quite painful!

    Nope, MFP sets fiber way too low. Unless you're getting something like 100g of fiber a day, I wouldn't worry about it. (I even raised my fiber to 35g and I still go over by a lot)

    Okay, that's what I thought too. But MFP makes it look like it's a bad thing by going over, ya know? Red=bad! LOL

    Fiber is good! so do not worry! Keep in mind, if you consume a lot of fiber, you need to UP your water intake. If you dont it can lead to constipation and it sucks lol.
