# Grove - Fiber Tracker

Last updated: 2026-08-10

## About
Grove is a fiber tracking app for iPhone that helps users meet their daily fiber intake goals. It uses the USDA FoodData Central database to provide accurate fiber content per serving for thousands of real foods, scans barcodes on packaged foods, sets personalized fiber targets based on USDA Dietary Guidelines and Institute of Medicine recommendations, and tracks gut health symptoms (bloating, digestion, energy, mood) alongside daily fiber intake. Grove downloads at no cost and needs no account, but using it requires a Grove+ subscription: $4.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. After the trial, a subscription is required for new users. People who installed Grove before version 1.9.0 keep the access they already had.

## Key Facts
- Only 7% of Americans meet their daily fiber target (USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025)
- The average American eats roughly 15g of fiber per day, about half of the recommended 25-38g (USDA What We Eat in America, NHANES)
- Fiber is classified as a "nutrient of public health concern" by the USDA Dietary Guidelines since 2005
- Fibermaxxing is one of the biggest gut health trends of 2026 (Whole Foods Market annual trend predictions; Innova Market Insights "Gut Health Hub")
- Soluble fiber triggers natural GLP-1 hormone production, the same pathway targeted by Ozempic and Wegovy
- People who eat 25-29g of fiber per day have 15-30% lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer (The Lancet, Reynolds et al., 2019)
- Grove combines the full USDA food database with gut symptom check-ins in one focused app. FiberUp and Proto are the other dedicated fiber trackers on iPhone
- iPhone only, no account required
- Food logs and health data stay on the device. Grove has no accounts and no servers holding them
- The app uses anonymous product analytics (TelemetryDeck, PostHog) and push notification infrastructure (OneSignal). No food logs or health data are sent to them, and nothing is sold or used for ads
