I go over on fiber almost every day. Is this bad, and if it is how bad? I don't usually go over on any thing else. I mean I just ate lunch and I'm already over by 2gs. I tend to stick to a diet that has foods naturally rich in fiber(whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans).

    I beleive the fiber amount is a minimum amount not a maximum, fiber is great for you, and most people don't get enough. Just keep in mind if you are eating that much fiber you must drink pleanty of water as fiber works as intended if you drink water if not the oposite can happen.

    Most would argue that the fiber recommendation on this site are too low, but no too much fiber will not hurt you. Being a woman you need more fiber anyway to keep your system regular :)
