Sexual dimorphism in humans

Why so much higher for men? On an average day I eat probably somewhere between 25 and 45 g depending on what I’ve meal preppes for the week and what I’ve decided on for snacks. I am a vegetarian who eats mostly whole foods. I can’t even fathom how the average American could come anywhere even close to that. It’s a LOT of beans/whole grains/vegetables/chia seeds/etc.

Ok but I was curious another specific physiological reasons lol like maybe men require that much more or they don’t see cardiovascular benefits or something like that.

Overall, men are significantly more massive than women, so our caloric intake is also proportionally higher. As a 6’3" 230lb man, if I were to try to stick to a 2000 calorie a day diet, I would lose weight. I need 2500 calories if I don’t work out, and more like 3400 if I do.

In general, American men are larger - dimensionally - so more fibre is required for a larger person.
Ideally, an individual would work with their doctor or whoever to figure out how much would be appropriate.

Because larger people need to eat more, as their body requires more energy, and so they need more fiber, I’m assuming.
I was Googling just now and found that women have a longer colon than man. I wonder if that makes any difference.

Psh, you had to Google to know that? You never found out for yourself? Kids these days.

Right? How else are you supposed to figure out who is on the other side of a glory hole? Mouths feel the same but that colon depth is noticeable, if you are paying attention.
