Dear Admissions Officer Amy Adams: It is with great pleasure that I am writing this letter of recommendation for Susie Student. In the past four years, I have taught Susie in a number of visual arts courses in all of which she has excelled.
Fiber Needs for Men. Men who are 50 years old or younger should consume 38 grams of fiber per day, according to MayoClinic.com. Men who are 51 years old or older need 30 grams of fiber per day. However, people who are on a reduced calorie diet may need less fiber. According to SuperKidsNutrition.com, you should aim for 10 to 13 grams of fiber per 1,000 calories you consume.
The recommended daily intake of fiber is 20 to 35 grams per day for adults, adolescents, and older children. Desirable fiber intake for children (under 18) is calculated by age plus five grams. For example, a six-year-old needs 11 grams of fiber per day. The average American only gets 10 to 15 grams of fiber per day so most people need to increase their fiber intake.
