Re: How much fat to consumer per day?       06/07/08 06:46 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Heather says "Keep your fat intake to 20% - 25% of your total calories, and make your fats count. They should be monounsaturated and contain essential fatty acids, so choose fat sources such as olive oil, canola oil, avocados, finely ground nuts, fatty fish, flax oil, etc." 1 gram of fat equals 9 calories Recommended number of calories per day for women is 1200-2000 and for men 1800-2400. Therefore recommended intake of fat per day for women is 26-55 grams and for men 40-65 grams. My personal rule of thumb is to not eat foods containing more than 10% fat by weight.
