When petty cash is used for business expenses, the appropriate expense account -- such as office supplies or employee reimbursement -- should be expensed.
1. Saturated Fats. So how much and what kinds of fat should you be eating? Expert guidelines suggest that 20 to 30 percent of your daily calories should come from fats, and no more than 10 percent from the saturated variety. Based on a diet of 1,800 calories a day, that's between 40 and 60 grams of fat daily.
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.
