Fiber Question

[Spud]

Is it possible to get to much fiber? I ask this cause Im going to start putting wheat bran(natural) in my protein shakes. Each serving contains 14g of fiber or 48% daily intake. Though Im going to start eating about 3-4000 cals a day so therefor it would only be 24% a serving. How much fiber do you guys think I should take a day?

I think 40 grams of fiber would be enough. I don't eat as many calories, so I can get away with about 25-30 grams a day. If you eat too much fiber you might have problems absorbing certain nutrients and vitamins. However, its probably better to eat too much then too little. Nothing is worse then getting contipated on a bulking diet.

Thanks Haz. The only thing that I dont like about taking fiber is that is makes you feel so danm full. It sucks trying to eat like a horse when you feel like your gonna pop
