About Need My Fiber

Last updated

Hi, I’m Kyle

I started Need My Fiber because eating more fiber sounded simple and turned out to be confusing. Which foods actually help? How much is enough? Why does a big bowl of beans sometimes go badly? This site is where I work those questions out in plain English.

For me it comes down to one thing: getting things moving. Comfortably, regularly, without the bloat. Fiber is the simplest lever most of us have for that, and almost nobody eats enough of it. Everything on this site serves that one aim.

What you’ll find here

  • Food guides and lists that show how much fiber is in a normal serving.
  • Recipes with the fiber per serving worked out.
  • Supplement reviews that I only publish after testing the product myself, with a day-by-day log and real, unedited photos.
  • Free tools, starting with a calculator that finds your daily fiber target.

Who checks the health content

I’m not a doctor or a dietitian. Articles about health topics, like constipation, weight or GLP-1 medications, are reviewed by a registered dietitian before they go live. Until that reviewer joins, those articles stay unpublished. You’ll always see who reviewed a page, and when.

Meet Bean

Bean is the cartoon bean you’ll see around the site. Bean points the way and keeps things friendly. Bean is not an expert, doesn’t give medical advice and has never tried a product.
