How many fat grams do you need?

Answer by  AllergyDiva (40)

It depends on what percentage of your caloric intake should be coming from fats, and how many calories you need daily. A "moderate" diet is 25% fats. Since each fat gram yields 9 calories, if your total caloric intake needs to be 2000 calories/day, then you should eat 500 calories (25% of 2000) or 55g (500/9 cal/g) of fats.

For the average adult, no more than 20 grams of fat per day is recommended. However, the amount required will necessarily be lower for those with a sedentary lifestyle or who are prone to high cholesterol levels.

You do not need that much fat per day. You will get enough fat that you need to survive in a serving of chicken.
