The Fibre Gap, why most of us arent getting enough and tips to easily fix it
For the last few years with the rise of social media, protein has been the superhero of healthy eating. It builds muscle, fuels workouts, and shows up in just about everything.
But while protein’s been flexing in the spotlight, fibre has been quietly keeping your gut and energy levels in balance.
The truth is, most of us aren’t getting enough Fibre.
In New Zealand and Australia, around 70% of adults fall short of the daily fibre goal of 25 to 30 grams. That’s a big gap, and it’s one worth fixing.
🥕 Why Fibre Matters
Fibre is the quiet hero that keeps your digestion, energy, and gut health in check.
It feeds the good bacteria in your gut, supports steady blood sugar, and helps you feel fuller for longer.
A healthy gut doesn’t just help your digestion, it also plays a role in your mood, immunity, and overall wellbeing.
So if you’ve been feeling sluggish or out of sync, your body might be asking for more fibre.
🌱 How Much Fibre Do You Need?
-
Adults: 25 to 30 g per day
-
Kids (4 to 8 years): about 18 g per day
That might not sound like much, but it’s easy to come up short when meals are busy and convenience takes over.
To put it in perspective:
🥦 1 head of broccoli = about 16 g fibre
🥬 1 whole cauliflower = around 13 g fibre
👉 1 bag of Vince = around 25 g of natural fibre in total
Each bag makes several servings, so while it’s not something you’d eat all at once, it’s a simple way to sneak extra fibre into your meals every day.
🌿 Easy Tips to Get More Fibre
You don’t have to overhaul your diet to make a difference. Small changes really add up:
-
Add one more veg to every meal (fresh, frozen, or dried, it all counts).
-
Choose wholegrains instead of refined carbs.
-
Snack smart with nuts, seeds, or veggie sticks.
-
Go slow and hydrate by adding about 5 g more fibre each week and drinking plenty of water to keep things comfortable.

💧 Increase Your Fibre Slowly
If you’re increasing your fibre, take it slow and sip plenty of water.
Your gut likes gradual changes, so give it time to adjust.
Jumping from low to high fibre overnight can cause bloating or discomfort.
