how to calculate how many grams of fat are in one serving?
To calculate the grams of fat in one serving, check the nutrition label on the food packaging, where fat content is usually listed per serving size. If the label provides total fat in grams and the serving size is indicated, you can directly see how much fat is in one serving. If you’re calculating from bulk food, weigh the serving size and multiply by the percentage of fat in the food (as a decimal) to get the grams of fat. For example, if a food item contains 20% fat and you have a 100-gram serving, it would contain 20 grams of fat (100g x 0.20 = 20g).
