Does myfitnesspal consider the amount of fiber in a diet, I have IBS and need to watch that aspect so I don't get bound up or too loose in the stool department. How much fiber is "needed" per day on a 1250 calorie diet. Where does one find fiber amounts of various foods listed on this site. Looking forward to answers to this aspect of the planning

    You can modify your food diary to look at fiber using this link

    Generally, most recommendations are 20-30g of fiber per day. Has your GI doctor made any recommendations?

    THANK YOU to you folks who have answered my questions. I haven't been a very good client in some ways about this whole project. I would say I need to again face the issue as my legs/knees are acting up and weight loss certainly would be helpful. Since I joined, I have fluctuated in my weight, in part due to not being at home, in part due to having shoulder surgery, etc. etc. Some of this is just an excuse, I'm sad to admit. But as above, I am very THANKFUL that no one is judging me or my progress or lack of it.
