How much fiber needed on a 2500 calorie diet each day?

Answer 1

Who knows? But if they are eating 20,000 calories a day, what does it matter? I guess they would need enough fiber for a week, as normal caloric intake should ONLY be between 1200 and 1500, per DAY! WHEW! 20,000 PER DAY, HOLY MOLY! Can anybody say metamucil?

The above must be baised on the fact the anwserer didn't see the difference between calorie and fiber >.> That and the asker meant 2,000. Ah here we go via http://www.ext.colostate.edu/PUBS/FOODNUT/09333.HTML :

14 grams of fiber per 1000 calories

Also via FDA's http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Speeches/ucm053109.htm :

2000-calorie intake needs 28 grams of fiber per day.

Answer 2

for a 2500 calorie diet you should consume atleast 30 grams of fiber.

Answer 3

The FDA says 80 grams a day. Some studies suggest that strength training athletes and body builders could need as much as 1.6-1.7 grams of protein per kg of bodyweight per day.

Answer 4

You do not get calories from the fibers. Every thing in your food has got it's own advantages and disadvantages. Fibers protect you from cancer of the colon.
