There are many versions to this lie. Some claim that Beethoven was deaf at birth and became a great composer despite this disability. This is also false information. Beethoven suffered hearing loss which was caused by scarlet fever not genetics. He was already an accomplished composer by the time he started to lose his hearing. Beethoven's loss of hearing caused him to withdraw into a deep depression. He withdrew himself from the public and his friends. Other versions of this abortion argument state that Ludwig Van Beethoven was blind. This was never true at all. Hm..I am sorry!
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. Use the Nutrition Facts label to find out how much fat is in the foods you eat.
So the rest of your calories are going to come from fat. In this theoretical case â 100 grams of protein and 50 grams of carb per day â youâll need one hundred and fifty five grams of fat per day to get up to 2000 calories, a pretty reasonable level. Yes, I said a hundred and fifty five grams of fat per day. At 9 calories per gram, thatâs 1395 calories worth. What if you need a somewhat lower caloric intake? Say, 1700 per day? Youâll still need 122 grams of fat to get up to that level. By the way, in our first example, youâd be getting 69% of your calories from fat; in the second, 67%.
