Less protein and much moar fibre! (Specifically between 24-27g/daily is the sweetspot) Reynolds A, Mann J, Cummings J et al.

The real sweet spot isn't more protein—it's 25–29g of fiber daily, which slashes risk of heart disease, diabetes, and colon cancer. That protein soda? You'd be better off with a handful of beans. https://s.fitbodyscience.com/y9tSNH

The breakdown

The sweet spot for fiber is real, but don't stress over exact grams.

The study linked in the post is a large review that found eating about 25–29 grams of fiber per day is tied to a big drop in risk for heart disease, diabetes, and colon cancer. So the 24–27 gram range fits right in. Other research also supports more fiber being better, though some studies suggest benefits start at around 22 grams. The key takeaway is that getting enough fiber is important, and this range is a good target, but the exact number isn't a magic switch.

Bottom line

So yes, aiming for around 25 grams of fiber a day is a solid health move, but it's more about the ballpark than the exact number.
