How much fiber do you get daily?

I'm a Fiber fan. I shoot for 15 g of fiber a day ( I eat 800-1000 calories a day). Dietary recommendations suggest 14 g per 1000 calories ingested.

I'm curious what other people do for fiber.

I eat some of my fiber (pumpkin seeds, nuts, nut butter, Beans, vegs) but I also take supplements because I can't eat enough to get all my fiber in. I use Optifiber powder in my Protein shakes or Fiber Well Gummies.

I do fiber one 90 calorie bars, usually in the am, have been pretty regular taking these including lots of veggie/fruit cups. Beans, I tried to eat a fiber bar in the afternoon and my body won't "let it go down", I tried it 2 different days,. I figure my body is saying I have enough,

and I can sure tell the different when I don't have enough fiber, B)

I have been taking fiber powder in my Water but have been still having problems. I started eating broccoli and some spinach here and there to add some insoluble fiber to my diet and that really seemed to get things moving a little better. Makes me laugh that I have to worry about those types of things at my age.

I take gummies, try to eat leafy vegetables, and recently added Flax and chia seeds to things.

I'm also obsessed with fiber (or terrified of constipation). I try to get 25 grams per day which is the daily suggested value for "normal eaters". And I try to get it all from regular food. My go to foods to get all my fiber are lentils, hummus or any other beans, brussel sprouts, broccoli, chia seeds, pistachios, raspberries, cabbage, oat bran, avocado or avocados. When I come up short at the end of the day I eat 1/2 to 1 quest bar which has 17 grams of fiber per bar. I'm 5 months post op and haven't experienced constipation since the 1st week.

Sorry, for the last food I meant to say Pears!!!
