Fat intake has a bigger impact on calorie counting than other nutrients. One gram of fat has 9 calories, compared with only 4 calories per gram in carbohydrates and proteins. For healthy adult men and women, 20 to 35 percent of total daily calories should be from fat. The best way to stay on track when you're counting calories or fat is by keeping a daily journal.
Once you have this calorie value, subtract about 20-35% of it for protein (which should be roughly the percentage you are eating based on the grams per bodyweight recommendation above). Then subtract another 15-20% of this new number for fat, which will give you the total carbohydrate calories you need to eat.
