For women under 50, it's 25 grams per day and men under 50, it's 38 grams per day.

I like to fiber max my vegetables, meaning like...

I mean, we all can only eat so much in one day, right?

And so at dinner time, I try to eat like the highest value vegetable I can.

Like if I'm making fish or pasta or something, I will eat peas or I'll eat like Brussels sprouts.

Like I just try to like really eat an adult vegetable when I'm having like vegetables.

And so like, I guess like my favorite ones, I do love peas because peas are like, peas are not for the weak, right?

Like they have so much fiber.

I love peas.

And they will, yeah, they'll destroy you if you eat too much of them.

But it means like you can very quickly meet your fiber goals without like eating a ton of stuff that you weren't going to do anyway.

You talk about kiwis in your book.

If you have two a day, you're good.

Yeah.

Within the last about five years, two excellent randomized controlled trials have shown that kiwis, one, yeah, they have a great amount of fiber, but they specifically help with bloating and constipation.

They're actually even better for bloating than prunes.

They taste better.

Tastes better.

I actually make my son.

He's two years old.
