Abstract in brief

  • A high fiber diet has no single official definition, with daily fiber intake varying globally from less than 20 g to over 80 g, depending on the country and the types of foods consumed, such as cereals or vegetables.
  • Vegetables are rich in fiber relative to their calorie content and typically contribute the majority of fiber intake, especially in populations like rural Uganda where they account for over 90% of fiber consumption.
  • Dietary guidelines suggest 20-35 g of fiber per day based on energy intake, but for higher-calorie diets, a minimum of 15-20 g of fiber per 1000 Kcal is recommended to promote unrefined foods and meet nutritional needs.]

@Jinzang @DrNadolsky Have a look at "What is a high fiber diet?" by Wolever and Jenkins. It describes a lowER enrgy diet. That one wasn't even about quantities of food but about quantities of fibre, another element of diet that is largely misunderstood. https://t.co/mqRW6KNOnM https://t.co/GMcvaNJe3h
