That would be too high. I don't understand where that fat is coming from anyway when oil is so far down on the list. But remember that with rice and vegetables with no added fat that would even out the fat from the calamari.
I eat about 25% fat with each meal if possible. Remember it is fat per meal not per day! I also feel I am pretty sensitive to fats too and up to 30% is okay for me usually. I figure out fat percentage by a rough guess when away from the calculator. I just mulitply the fat grams by 10 instead of 9 and guestimate that into the calories.
500 calorie meal guess it has 20 grams of fat x10=200 compared to 500 it is less than half but too close to be safe. Actual percentage 36%.
Remember though our diet is not supposed to be fat free! Don't have meals of plain rice, plain vegetable and almost fat free breast; put some margarine or nuts or something on there to give our bodies the needed fat to make digestion work and so we don't store fat.
I agree...I could never do 10-15%, that is way too restrictive for anything mainstream.
I find 25% works fine for me, up to 33%.
I really don't see how the dish here is all that excessive.
It has 35 grams of fat per 1000 calorie serving
35X9=315
315/1000=31.5%
That is barely higher than 25%, less than 33%, I am sensitive to fat, and I find 31% to be in the light yellow caution area, nothing taboo like 50% fat.
I don't understand, am I missing something, 32% seems to be moderate at worst, nothing severe.

Re: What % of fat per product can you handle?
