To stay healthy, the average adult needs to consume far less than a pound of fat a day. For both children and adults, the amount of fat that should be consumed each day depends on age, sex, height, weight or frame size, and the amount of activity that individual gets. For instance, for a male 35 years old, 5 ft. 11 in., medium frame, who is moderately active is approximately 80 grams. This translates to less than 3 ounces. The easiest way to determine how much fat you and/or your children should consume is to use a Fat Intake Calculator. There is a good one at The University of Maryland Medical System site.

How many times a day should a teen eat?

There is no need to consume fruits and vegetables a certain amount of times per day. However, a good tip to make sure you consume enough is to have one serving with each meal.Vegetables in general has a higher content of vitamins and minerals than do fruits. Yellow pepper for example contain four times the amount of Vitamin C than do oranges. But still both food groups are nutritional dense which is the reason to why it's recommended to consume good amounts of them.
