How to Eat 25 grams of Dietary Fiber a Day
Posted on
To lower cholesterol, the American Heart Association recommends eating 25 grams of dietary fiber per day for a 2,000-calorie diet.
As I discovered while writing, Are You Eating Enough Fiber to Lower Cholesterol? the answer for me was a clear NO. Curious and concerned, I did a little research (and math) and realized that I’m currently only consuming about half of the dietary fiber I need to lower cholesterol.
And that led me to wonder what exactly I’d need to eat to double my fiber intake / get to 25 grams of fiber a day.
What I discovered was surprising.
