It depends on how many calories you eat in a day.
In general, 20%-35% of your daily calories should come from fat.
Example:
If you eat 1800 calories a day, 360 – 630 calories should come from fat.
Here’s the math
1800 calories x 20% (0.20) = 360 calories
1800 calories x 35% (0.35) = 630 calories
20% – 35% of 1800 calories = 360 – 630 calories from fat
There are 9 calories in 1 gram of fat.
360 – 630 calories from fat = 40 – 70 grams of fat.
Here’s the math:
360 calories ÷ 9 calories per gram of fat = 40 grams of fat
630 calories ÷ 9 calories per gram of fat = 70 grams of fat
