But there are some basic guidelines you can follow to ensure youâre eating healthy. The FDA presents two recommended calorie intake levels, each with a guideline of 30% of total intake from fat calories. For a female adult the level is around 2,000 calories per day, with 600 fat calories. For a male adult the level is around 2,500 calories per day, with 750 fat calories. The calorie intake levels above are recommended if youâre trying to maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, you should eat less than the recommended calorie intake amount to lose that weight.
At the serving step, hot food should be kept at 135 ÂºF or above and cold food should be. kept at 41 ÂºF or below. Cooling and reheating should be done as quickly as possible to. limit the time that the food is in the temperature danger zone. Temperature is even important in clean up! Water temperature is important when.
That's the temp I set for keeping batches of food warm while I'm cooking the rest of the batch (of whatever).......you can also safely put your dinner plates in the oven at that temperature to warm them before plating the food on them.pdate: Not for cold food, it's for food I just cooked and need to keep it hot while I finish cooking other things before serving it. But information on both is good to know!! (: Update 2: How long for heating before serving: Not more than 30-45 minutes, if that.
