There are two ways to determine your fiber needs. A precise way to figure out how much fiber you need is to base intake on your daily calorie intake. You should consume 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories you consume. If you consume 2,000 calories on a daily basis, you should be eating 28 grams of fiber. Generally, women under the age of 50 should consume 25 grams of fiber each day. Women over the age of 50 need 21 grams of fiber every day.
