Best Answer

The total amount of calories from fat should make up around 30% of your diet.

Each gram of fat contains 9kcals. So for example,

If you were consuming 1500kcals a day then 30% percent of those calories should be fat.

Calculations:

1500kcals / 100 X 30 = 450kcals

450kcals / 9 = 50 grams

So a person consuming 1500kcals a day should consume around 50 grams of fat per day. This does not mean to say all these calories should be saturated fats (bad fats). These calories should be consume with unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (good fats) as well.
For an average person on a 2000 calorie diet, 20g should be the minimum intake of overall fats, with a maximum of 60g. No one should consume over 20g of saturated fats, and trans fats should be avoided completely.

20% of daily calorie intake, but choose monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Avoid saturated and trans fats.

If you eat a diet consisting of 2000 calories, your fat intake is 400 fat calories.

Note: See your doctor to determine your caloric need for fat, as some people may need more or less fat depending on their present level of health.

about 8o to100 grams of fat each day. If you are really "large", then you need to have 50 to70 grams of fat each day. if you are skinny then you need about 100 grams of fat each day.
