Daily fiber intake

The daily dietary fiber amount you need can depend on whether you are a man or a woman and your age. For a man who is below the age of 50, the amount is 38 grams. If he is over 50, then he needs 30 grams of fiber per day. While women above the age of 50 need 21 grams, women who are younger require about 25 grams. Dietary fiber is found in foods like oatmeal, bran, seeds, brown rice, and bulgur.
