Fibre intake reference

Fibre is the third number Cafeity tracks alongside protein and water. It is a flat reference rather than a weight-based derivation, and this page explains why.

How it is worked out

A flat reference, not a formula

Cafeity uses 25 g a day. Unlike protein and hydration it is not scaled by body weight, because the common public-health references are stated as flat daily amounts rather than per-kilogram figures.

How the app counts it

Fibre comes from the same food entries as protein and energy, drawn from a 14,098-item offline database built from USDA Foundation and SR Legacy data, the Pakistan food composition tables, and regional dishes.

What it is not

Not a treatment for any digestive symptom. Changes in digestion are common on a GLP-1 and belong in a conversation with a prescriber, not with a calculator.

Common questions

Why 25 g rather than a personalised figure?
Because the evidence is usually expressed as a flat daily reference. Inventing a per-kilogram formula would imply a precision that is not there.
Does Cafeity tell me to eat more fibre?
No. It shows the figure against the reference and leaves the interpretation to you and your prescriber.

This is general wellness information

Cafeity does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and never recommends, calculates or adjusts a medication dose. Anything on this page is arithmetic you can check, not advice. Questions about your treatment belong with a licensed healthcare professional.
