How many fat calories should you eat in 1 day?

Answer 1

The total amount of calories from fat should make up around 30% of your diet.

Each gram of fat contains 9kcals. So for example,

If you were consuming 1500kcals a day then 30% percent of those calories should be fat.

Calculations:

1500kcals / 100 X 30 = 450kcals

450kcals / 9 = 50 grams

So a person consuming 1500kcals a day should consume around 50 grams of fat per day. This does not mean to say all these calories should be saturated fats (bad fats). These calories should be consume with unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (good fats) as well.
