How much fibre should I eat every day? A rough estimate of the amount you need is about 18g a day, though 16 - 24g is a healthy range and individual requirements vary. Ideally you should aim to open your bowels at least once a day and not have to strain when you go to the loo. One example of what you'd need to equal about 18g is a bowl of bran cereal for breakfast, a wholemeal sandwich with a bowl of salad for lunch, and five portions of fruit and vegetables.
