Determine ideal daily dietary fat intake

The number of calories you need each day varies depending on your body size and activity levels. Someone who needs about 2 000 calories a day should be eating no more than 65 grams of fat a day on average. To determine your ideal daily dietary fat intake:
1.      Take the number of calories you eat each day and multiply it by 30 percent.
For example: 2 000 calories x .30 = 600 calories from fat.
2.      Divide your answer by 9 because there are 9 calories in each gram of fat. This will give you the number of grams of fat per day that should be your upper limit goal.
Here, it's: 600 / 9 = 65 grams.
A person who consumes 2 000 calories per day should ideally consume not more than 65 grams of fat. Some researchers suggest that even 65 grams of fat in a 2 000 calorie diet is still too much fat.

Always consult a dietician if you need to make significant changes to your diet.
