FAT - Be Wise About Common Foods

Calculating the Balance

So how do you find the right balance of fat in your diet?
Fat is important to a balanced diet, but limit the intake of fat in your diet to less than
30% of your total calories.
Since fat is measured in grams, rather than calories, you need to know how to make the calculations.
Each gram of fat contains 9 calories.
Let’s say you consume 2,000 calories per day, no more than 600 of those calories (or 30%) should come from fat.
Total calories 2,000 divided by 30% = 600 calories from fat
600 calories from fat divided by 9 = 67 grams of fat
