Pages: 1 Daily Fat Intake       #363458 - 02/14/11 02:47 AM Edit Reply Quote Sheeda Reged: 05/04/08 Posts: 24 Loc: Barbados Hi! Can someone please tell me the recommended daily fat intake on Heather's Diet? Right now I'm at around 15-20 grams a day, (which i think is less than 25% of the daily value as recommended on the 'nutritional facts' panel on the back of food products) and my doctor says I'm too skinny. -------------------- “Courage doesn't always roar.

If you eat 2000 calories per day and if you want 20% or 400 calories from fat then you need about 45 grams of fat/oil per day. A tablespoon of olive oil has 15 grams of fat. So you need the equivalent of 3 tablespoons of oil over the course of the day from all the foods you eat. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Daily Fat Intake       #363462 - 02/14/11 11:30 AM Edit Reply Quote Sheeda Reged: 05/04/08 Posts: 24 Loc: Barbados Thanks Syl -------------------- “Courage doesn't always roar.
