There are 9 calories in 1 gram of fat. So you want to take the number of grams of fat and multiply that number by 9. Then the total number of calories into that number and divide by 100.

Here's an example:

Let's say I am eating a food that has 10g of fat and 200 calories. Multiply the number of grams (10) by 9. This gives you 90.

Then take 90/200 (number of calories). This gives you 0.45. Multiply this times 100 and you get 45%.

So this item would be high in fat.

Our goal is to keep the fat content around or below 25% per meal.

Does that help?
