*Recommended fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men each day per the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

*Natural sugars occur naturally in whole foods. There is no specific recommendation for natural sugars. However, the recommended maximum amount of "added sugar" per the American Heart Association is 24g (6 teaspoons) for women and 36g (9 teaspoons) for men each day. Added sugar is the sugar added to processed and packaged foods and does not include natural sugars. The less added sugar in your diet the better! (4g sugar = 1 teaspoon of sugar)
