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.
There isn't a hard and fast quantity of dietary fat that's appropriate for everyone. Instead it's usually expressed as a percentage of your total calories for the day and then, depending how many calories you consume in a day, you can calculate how many grams of fat â and what kind of fat â is appropriate. That number will vary with your age, gender and your level of physical activity.
