Oh yes, saturated fat is quite hazardous to your cardiovascular health. Eat as little as possible. Unsaturated fats are much better for you.
The recommended intake of saturated fat that an adult human should consume is up to 5 grams. Saturated fat can cause weight gain, increase in cholosteral, and raise your blood pressure.
It's generally recommended you consume no more than 20g of saturated fat, based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
The amount of recommended saturated fat intake depends on a person's calorie diet. If he consumes 2,000 calories a day, he should consume not more than 200 calories of saturated fat.
Too much saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol, which can increase the risk of heart disease. You should therefore consume no more than your recommended daily intake.
Per day, the American Heart Association recommends reducing saturated fat to less than 7% of caloric intake, less than roughly 20 grams per day for a 2000 calorie diet. Saturated fat negatively affects cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Saturated fat should not be seen as something that one should actively try to include in one's diet as any diet containing fat inevitably contains some saturated fat. Most Americans consume too much saturated fat per day. Reducing your saturated fat consumption can help reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Well, enough so that the number of calories from saturated fat is less than or equal to 10 percent of your total calories consumed. How many calories are you consuming in day? Take 10 percent of that. That's the high end of the number of calories from saturated fat that you can consume in a day. Divide by the number of calories in a gram of fat (9), and you'll have the number of grams of saturated fat you can consume without exceeding 10 percent. Assuming you are on an 1800 calorie diet, you could consume up to 180 calories from saturated fat. Dividing this by 9, you would get 20 grams of saturated fat. However, it is probably more healthful to consume no more than 7% of calories as saturated fat, which is what is allowed on the American Heart Association's Step II diet. This would be 126 calories, or 14 grams of saturated fat a day.
The general recommendation is no more than 20 grams of saturated fats per day.
You should consume at least 0.75g of protein per kg body weight. After calculating the amounts of calories you get form the recommended intake of protein you subtract that from your daily caloric need. The number you now have should be divided by 9 and you have the amount of fat (in grams) that you should eat to reach your caloric need. Because carbohydrates are non-essential I did not include them. The lowest amount of fat you should consume is 1g per kg body weight. So if you want to consume carbohydrates you could easily add them into the equation.
There is no set amount of recommended sugar per day. That is because it is recommended that you consume as little as possible with what you consume only coming from fruits and vegetables
The US Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) state you should consume: * Protein: 10-20% of daily calories * Fat (good and bad): No more than 30% calories * Carbohydrates: About 60% of caloric intake. However, if trying to lose fat, it's recommended that you consume about 20% fat and 20% protein. The recommended daily intake for total fiber for adults 50 years and younger is set at 38 grams for men and 25 grams for women, while for men and women over 50 it is 30 and 21 grams per day, respectively, due to decreased consumption of food.

Just consume a variety of vegetables of less saturated fat and salt!
