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.
How do you know if youâve had 10 percent of your calories from saturated fats? The best way is to calculate 10 percent of your daily calories and then translate that into fat grams. For example, if you consume 1500 calories a day, 150 calories can come from saturated fat. There are 9 calories per gram of fat, so dividing 150 by 9 that equates to around 17 grams of saturated fat.
