fat gram intake?

Question

Where can i find out how many fat grams im allowed to intake per day, a good website perhaps?

Answer 1

The number of fat grams depends on the amount of calories you consume. You want to keep your fat grams to less than 30 percent of your total calories. A fat gram has 9 calories, so if you eat 2000 calories a day you will want to consume less than 60ish grams of fat per day. If you are trying to eat a lowfat diet for weight loss then a lower amount would be recommended.

You will also want to look for fats that are healthy for you. Omega-3 fats tend to be smarter for your heart than other types of fat.

A great website to find out what kind of fats foods have is www.nutritiondata.com.

Answer 2

It is recommended that a person on a 2000 calorie/day diet take in no more than 14 grams of fat. That's a bit unrealistic, but taht is what is recommended.

40-45% of ur intake should be carbs
the rest could be distributed between protein n fats. but u should have more protein than fats. The less fat the better, but, less then 25% is good. If ur active, u need carbs to burn, n lots of protein, if you are just doing a calorie diet, n no exercise, lower ur carbs, increase protein, u should TRY to get less than 15% fat, the rest could be distributed between carbs n protein, but more protein n less carbs, but dont do zero carbs.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
