How much saturated fat do you need each day?

The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of saturated fats you eat to less than 7 percent of total daily calories. That means, for example, if you need about 2,000 calories a day, no more than 140 of them should come from saturated fats. That's about 16 grams of saturated fats a day. You need saturated fats to feed your cells. =) So don't cut them all the way out of your diet. Also it helps you eat healthier knowing you can have saturated fats.
