This paragraph is for the more technically minded. Essentially, if one consumes 1,200 calories (4,800 kilojoules) per day, then the maximum amount of saturated fat allowed is 10 grams (0.35ounces). 1,500 calories (6,300 kilojoules) - 13 grams (0.45 ounces). 2,000 calories (8,400 kilojoules) - 20 grams (0.7 ounces).
So if you're on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, 400 to 700 calories can come from dietary fat, which translates to between 44 and 78 fat grams a day. The latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends keeping saturated fat to less than 10 percent of calories a day. For a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, that's 200 calories or about 22 grams of saturated fat. Use the Nutrition Facts label to find out how much fat is in the foods you eat. The Nutrition Facts label shows the amount of total fat, saturated fat and trans fat in one serving.
