Whole grains: Most intact, whole-kernel grains supply 1.5 to 5 grams fiber per 1/2 cup serving of cooked grains. The best of the best (in terms of fiber tallies) include bulgur, farro (and other wheat berries), quinoa, and amaranth, but other favorites like oats are still great choices.
How Much Fiber Should I Eat Each Day? Depending on your gender and age, you should try to consume 20-38 g of fiber per day. Men ages 50 and younger should try to eat 38 g of fiber per day, and men 51 years and older should shoot for 30 g per day. Women ages 50 and younger should aim for 25 g per day and women 51 years and older should consume 21 g of fiber per day. Most Americans are currently eating half of the recommended amounts of fiber each day. Read your food labels to find out how much fiber (in grams) is in each serving of your favorite foods.
