FAQ
Does more fiber always mean better?
No. Increase progressively to avoid bloating, and drink enough water.
Can I hit fiber target from supplements alone?
Whole foods are preferred; supplements can help when diet quality is low.
Should athletes care about fiber timing?
Yes. Keep very high-fiber meals farther from intense sessions if GI comfort is an issue.
Is this a medical diagnosis tool?
No. For persistent digestive symptoms, consult a clinician.
