Fewer than 1 in 10 U.S. adults get the recommended amount of fiber (Dietary Guidelines for Americans). Higher fiber intake is linked to a lower risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes (Reynolds et al., The Lancet, 2019). General information, not medical advice.

This is Husky. He's a small seed with one big job: helping you eat more fiber.
Most of us could use the help. In the U.S., fewer than one in ten adults gets the recommended amount of fiber.
Fiber is the part of plants your body can't break down. Your gut microbes can, and they thrive on it.
Getting enough keeps you regular, and it's linked to a lower risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
The catch? Add too much, too fast, and your gut complains. So go slowly, and drink plenty of water.
That's how Husk works. Log a meal by search, barcode, photo or voice, and your goal rises a little at a time.
Every gram grows Husky's sprout. Reach your goal, and it blooms.
Husk. Every gram grows something.

What Husk is
A fiber tracker that grows with you.
Husk is a fiber tracker app for iPhone and Android. You log what you eat by tapping a quick food, searching, scanning a barcode, photographing your plate or saying it out loud. Husk adds up your fiber, its soluble and insoluble share, and your protein. Your daily goal starts at 60 percent and rises to the full amount over two weeks, so your gut can keep up. Everything you log stays on your phone.

§ VI · Questions
Fair questions.
What is Husk?
Husk is a fiber tracker app for iPhone and Android. You log what you eat, Husk adds up your fiber, and a seed named Husky grows a sprout as you get closer to your daily goal. It is coming soon.
How much fiber do I need a day?
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest about 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories you eat. For most adults that works out to roughly 25 to 34 grams a day. If you have a medical condition, talk to your clinician first.
Why do most people fall short on fiber?
About 95 percent of adults and children fall short of the recommended fiber. The average is about 14 grams a day, against roughly 28 recommended. That's from the American Heart Association, citing a 2017 analysis in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine.
Which foods are high in fiber?
Beans, lentils, whole grains, berries, pears, seeds and vegetables. For example, half a cup of cooked lentils has about 7.8 grams, a cup of raspberries about 8 grams, and a medium pear about 5.5 grams. Husk's numbers come from USDA FoodData Central.
Why raise fiber slowly?
Going from little fiber to a lot overnight is hard on the gut. Husk raises your goal over two weeks, from 60 percent to the full goal, so your gut keeps up. Drink water with it.
How do I log food in Husk?
Five ways: tap a quick food, search, scan a barcode, photograph your plate, or say it out loud. If a packaged food is not in the databases, you can scan its Nutrition Facts label and Husk remembers it for next time.
Where does Husk get its food data?
From USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts. Foods you add from a label are saved on your phone.
Does Husk work with GLP-1 medications?
Husk has a GLP-1 mode with a slower ramp, protein first and smaller meals. It is not medical advice. Follow your prescriber's guidance.
How much does Husk cost?
Husk is free to use. Husk+ adds chat with Husky, gut insights, longer trends and a report for your clinician. It costs $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year, or $59.99 once, with a 7-day trial.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use Husk without one, and everything you log stays on your phone. The Husk+ trial starts when you sign in.
Is my data private?
Everything you log stays on your phone. Backups are one encrypted file, sealed with your passphrase and saved where you choose.
When does Husk launch?
Soon. Join the list and you'll hear the day it's in the App Store and Google Play.
Is it on Android?
Yes. Husk is coming to iPhone and Android.
Is Husk medical advice?
No. Husk is not medical advice and not a medical device. If you have a medical condition, talk to your clinician.
