[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but men get more calories to work with than women. [/quote] Big deal, that just means it is much more expensive to meet dietary guidelines for fiber as a man. For women they recommend 25 grams. For men they recommend a whopping 38 grams. You need 50% more fiber per day as man than a woman. Look at all of the fiber numbers quoted in foods. They say raspberries are high in fiber, but have you looked at the serving size required to obtain those numbers? They often are quoted in PER CUP of raspberries. Yeah, how much of the population can afford to eat a cup of raspberries everyday when that's like the entire package of the damn container that's running $4.99 every time? It is way harder in terms of food consumption and cost to get up to 38 grams per day as a man. Fiber supplements it is. [/quote]
