I believe that Heather recommends 25-30% of daily calorie intake should come from fat. One gram of fat has 9 calories. If your daily caloric intake is 2000 calories then you can have 500-600 calories from fat or 55 to 65 grams of fat in total for whole the day.

For example, SICHUAN FROM THE SEA CALAMARI assuming the serving size is 100 grams then it contains 350 (39 x 9 = 351) calories from fat or 39% fat by weight. One serving contains more 1/2 the total daily fat intake. This is a very high fat product. What was the serving size specifed on the label?

Personally as a rule of thumb I never eat any food that contains more than 10% fat by weight.
