Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the total fiber consumed, we need to add the fiber from each food: 
- 1 cup of broccoli (3g/serving) = 3g fiber 
- 1 cup of strawberries (2g/serving) = 2g fiber 
- 1oz 100% bran cereal (10g/serving) = 10g fiber 
- 1/2 cup of black beans (8g/serving) = 4g fiber 
Total fiber = 3g + 2g + 10g + 4g = 19g 
According to the DV recommendation for fiber, adults should aim for at least 25g per day. Since Cindy consumed 19g of fiber, she did not meet the full DV recommendation, but she did consume a good amount of fiber for the day.
