You Asked: Fiber Per Meal — Is There a Limit?
A while back, I did a post about the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber and received this great question:
Is there a recommended amount that you shouldn't go over in one meal? Like I know the body can only absorb so much calcium at one time, I wonder if it's that way for fiber. I know it's always better to spread things out, but I was just wondering if there was an actual number that I shouldn't be going over in case my body doesn't process it all.
