If you are a woman I would say about 25-30 grams a day. A man about 30-40 grams a day. It's really easy to get this amount everyday. Here are some examples: 1/2 cup of Fiber 1 cereal has 13 grams of fiber!!! So if you eat a whole cup of it every day you are pretty much on target for fiber. I like to mix it in with my yogurt or just eat it plain.

Women need about 25g of fiber per day in their diet, while men need about 30g. About 20-30 percent of this total daily fiber intake should come from soluble fiber (fiber that can dissolve in water).
The best sources of fiber include beans, wholegrain cereals (barley, oats, rice), fruits, vegetables and nuts. Sources of insoluble fiber include: wheat, corn, rice, veggies and beans. Sources of soluble fiber include: citrus fruits, apples, mango, oats, dried apricots and beans (haricot, soybeans).

25-30 grams.
It is important for digestive health, satiety, and prevention of colon cancer. Soluble fiber can also lower cholesterol. So be sure to get that amount by eating fruit with skin, potatoes with skin, vegetables, beans, and whole grains.
