How Much Fat is Okay?

---

Nutritionists recommend that no more than 30% of calories should come from fat. Wondering what that means in practical terms?

Fat     Calories        Percentage
===     ========        ==========
3 g          100              27 %
2 g          100              18 %

If you are trying to stay within the 30% range, try to eat foods that average about 3 grams of fat for every hundred calories. If you want 20% of calories from fat, try for foods that average about 2 grams for every hundred calories. Remember that your body needs fat to function. Don't go below those levels without consulting an expert.
