Answer by  wyeth (435)

Depends on individual's sex,size,age,health status and activity levels but average for a moderately active healthy person would be about 60 grams or 20-30% of total energy intake,of which no more than 20 grams should be saturated or animal fat.The average energy requirement for such a person is approximately 10,000 kJ/day.

The average person should consume between 20 and 35 percent of their daily caloric intake in fat. The amount depends on gender, body type, health and other factors. So if your caloric intake shoudl be 1800 a day, you should eat between 360 and 630 calories from fat. When dieting, it should be about 20 percent.

It matters little of fat intake and watching fat intake is meaningless. Diets rich in a wide variety of fruit and vegetables should make sure that you get sufficient fat intake.
