The Trend

What is Fibermaxxing?

Fibermaxxing is the practice of intentionally maximizing your daily dietary fiber intake for better gut health, lower cholesterol, and longer-lasting fullness. Most people eat only 10–15g of fiber a day. Fibermaxxers aim for 30–50g or more - from whole, diverse plant foods.

🦠

Gut Microbiome

Dietary fiber feeds the billions of beneficial bacteria in your gut, increasing microbial diversity linked to lower inflammation and better immunity.

❤️

Heart Health

Soluble fiber binds to cholesterol in the digestive tract, reducing LDL cholesterol and lowering risk of cardiovascular disease.

🩸

Blood Sugar Control

Fiber slows glucose absorption, preventing blood sugar spikes and crashes - key for sustained energy and reducing diabetes risk.

🌱

Plant Diversity

Research shows eating 20+ different plant species per week dramatically improves gut health. FiberUp tracks your plant count automatically.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about fibermaxxing and FiberUp.

What is fibermaxxing?
Fibermaxxing is the practice of intentionally maximizing your daily dietary fiber intake - typically aiming for 35–50g or more per day - to improve gut microbiome health, lower cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, and feel fuller longer. It's a trend driven by gut health research showing that most people are chronically under-eating fiber (the average American gets only 10–15g per day).
What is the best fibermaxxing app?
FiberUp is the best fibermaxxing app for iPhone. Unlike general calorie counters like MyFitnessPal, FiberUp is built specifically around fiber - with a dedicated progress ring, plant count tracking, 120+ USDA-verified foods, barcode scanning, and a weekly view designed to help you stay consistent. And it's completely free.
How do I track my fiber intake on iPhone?
Download FiberUp for free on the App Store. Set your daily fiber goal, then log meals by searching the built-in 120+ food database or scanning a barcode. Your progress ring updates in real time. Review your weekly totals and plant count to spot patterns and stay on track.
How much fiber should I eat per day?
The FDA recommends 25g/day for women and 38g/day for men. For fibermaxxing, most people aim for 35–50g from a wide variety of plant sources - vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Increase gradually and drink plenty of water to avoid digestive discomfort.
Is FiberUp free?
Yes. FiberUp is free to download on the App Store with no subscription required. All core features - food logging, barcode scanning, daily progress tracking, weekly views, and plant count - are included for free.
What foods are highest in fiber?
Top high-fiber foods include: lentils (15.6g per cooked cup), split peas (16g), black beans (15g), avocado (10g), chia seeds (10g per oz), artichokes (10g), oats (4g per serving), Brussels sprouts (4g per cup), and almonds (3.5g per oz). FiberUp has USDA-verified data for 120+ of these foods built in.
What is plant count tracking in FiberUp?
Plant count tracks how many distinct plant species you eat each week. Research from the American Gut Project found that people who eat 20+ different plant species per week have significantly more diverse gut microbiomes than those who eat fewer than 10. FiberUp counts your plant species automatically as you log food each day.
Does FiberUp have a barcode scanner?
Yes. FiberUp includes a barcode scanner powered by Open Food Facts - one of the largest open-source nutrition databases in the world. Point your iPhone camera at any packaged food barcode and FiberUp instantly adds the fiber content to your daily log. No manual lookup required.
Can FiberUp show my weekly fiber trends?
Yes. The Weekly tab shows your fiber intake for each day of the current week (Monday–Sunday), your total weekly plant count, and how each day compared to your goal. It's the fastest way to identify which days you're falling short and build a more consistent fibermaxxing routine.
Why is fiber important for gut health?
Dietary fiber is the primary food source for the trillions of bacteria living in your gut. Soluble fiber (from oats, legumes, and fruit) ferments into short-chain fatty acids that reduce inflammation and feed the gut lining. Insoluble fiber (from vegetables and whole grains) adds bulk and speeds transit time. A high-fiber diet is consistently linked to lower rates of colon cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
