if you can move your bowels easily, you are fine-don't count every single gram-and oatmeal is a better source for fiber than anything else when cutting

Diamond i'm sick and tired of you passin horrible advice like this... seriously... You need 30g of fiber a day. Oatmeal is NOT the best. Don't listen to this guy please! He misleads just about everyone.

YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION-I AM ENTITLED TO MINE

Yeah Diamond true... but an "opinion" is just that... anyone can come and throw out b.s. opinions. I just have a problem w/ opinions that contradict facts and theories based on some research. Your version of a fact is... "oh if you have a problem taking a dump then uh... yeah maybe you need some fiber" It's stuff like that, that you do all the friggin time. Get a clue before you mislead people...

When I get constipated, I take some citrucel or eat some beans or prunes, all of the above work for me, results may vary for others

I usually get 30-50 grams per day, sometimes I'll only get 25. I will not go under 25g per day.



Risky, you'll have to remember that Diamond once said that you can't loose any weight if you're eating carbs.

riskybizz i know exactly what u mean i dont listen to his ONE LINE posts nemore just so he can up his post count.

but newayz, how many grams of fiber is in one cup of broccoli?

 

[=w=]

There is no exact # you can give because it will depend on a lot of factors (the individual, total caloric intake, amount of other macronutrients etc.). The best estimate I can give from what I have read is 10-15 grams of fiber per 1000 calories. I try to stay at least towards the upper end of that estimate.
