It depends on how many calories you eat in a day.
In general, less than 10% of your daily calories should come from saturated fat.
Example:
If you eat 1800 calories a day, less than 180 calories should come from saturated fat.
Here’s the math
1800 calories x 10% (0.10) = 180 calories
There are 9 calories in 1 gram of fat
180 calories of saturated fat = 20 grams of saturated fat
Here’s the math:
180 calories of saturated fat ÷ 9 calories per gram of fat = 20 grams of saturated fat
