How many grams of saturated fat can you consume in a day and not exceed 10 percent of calories from saturated fat?
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.
A food source with 5 grams of protein 10 grams of fat and 20 grams of carbohydrates contains how many calories?
A food source with five grams of protein, ten grams of fat, and twenty grams of carbohydrates contains 190 calories. To find this, you need to know how many calories are in a gram of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. There are four calories in one gram of protein and one gram of carbohydrates. There are nine calories in one gram of fat. Then multiply five (the number of grams of protein) by four (the number of calories in one gram of protein), ten (the number of grams of fat) by nine (the number of calories in one gram of fat), and twenty (the number of grams of carbohydrates) by four (the number of calories in one gram of carbohydrates). Add those numbers up and you will know how many calories are in the food.
What nutrient provides provides the highest number of calories?

Do you add the calories and the fat calories to know how many calories?
