How much fiber should I tell my clients they should get every day?

Great job at pushing the fiber intake! So many people fail to intake the minimum amount.
Nutrition is a touchy subject for us trainers. Some trainers do not even “go there”…. For me, I tell them I’m not a nutritionist and refer them to one if need be.
If they have basic questions about caloric intake, fiber, water, fat etc….I use the information provided by USDA (choosemyplate.gov ). They have MANY resources and are there for a reason!
According to the 2010 Dietary Guidlines For Americans, it says 14grams of fiber per 1,000 calories.
Take a look at that site! It is very interesting! Hope that you find what you are looking for! Good luck!
