Fiber score quiz

Alma estimates fiber from your usual portions and compares it with your daily target.

Sex

Choose your portions on a typical day. Each group shows one example portion.

Count each food once, using its own group for oats, bread, leafy greens and berries.

For adults. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have an eating disorder history or a medical condition, ask a clinician or dietitian about your fiber target.

How this works, sources, and questions

How it works

Choose typical daily portions across nine food groups. Alma uses one USDA food per group: fiber per 100 g multiplied by the portion weight, divided by 100, then multiplied by your portion count. Gram amounts are rounded to one decimal place for display. Alma compares the full total with the same age-and-sex target used on the fiber target page. The score uses the unrounded total divided by your target, multiplied by 100; the displayed percent is rounded down. Bands describe under 50%, 50% to under 80%, 80% to under 100%, and 100% or more of the target. They are display bands, not clinical cutoffs.

Evidence

Portions and fiber values come from the USDA FoodData Central records used on Alma food pages. Each group uses one example food. Your food or portion may differ.

Common questions

How does Alma estimate daily fiber?

Each food group has a named reference portion. Alma multiplies its fiber by the number of portions you choose and adds the groups. Count each food once. Oats, bread, leafy greens and berries have their own questions.

Is the fiber score the same as the Alma Score?

No. The fiber score compares estimated fiber with your daily fiber target. The Alma Score covers several aspects of food quality.

How are the two upgrades chosen?

Alma sorts the food groups by the portions you eat, lowest first. Within that order, foods with more fiber per reference portion come first. The suggestions are options for your meals; you do not need to add both.

What does 3 or more mean for the estimate?

Alma counts that answer as 3 portions. If you eat more, the estimate can be lower than your actual intake. Foods outside these groups and fiber supplements are not included.

Who should check their target with a clinician?

Alma's fiber score is for adults. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have an eating disorder history or a medical condition, use guidance from a clinician or dietitian. Follow any prescribed low-fiber diet. The result is an estimate of typical portions.
