Protein matters.
Fiber does too.
The difference is visibility. Here’s what we mean: Protein delivers fast, obvious feedback.
Fiber works in the background, over time, and you might not necessarily feel when you’re not getting enough (or be able to pinpoint it!)
So while protein became something we track and optimize, fiber became something we underestimate — even though most adults consume only about half of what they need.
Long-term, that gap affects digestion, metabolic health, and gut function.
Fiber doesn’t work in a single meal — it works through consistency.
Day after day intake is what supports gut motility, metabolic regulation, and microbial balance.
That’s why a 50% gap matters more than people realize!
