"The "typical" American diet gets more than 40% of its calories from fat, with the remaining calories coming from protein and carbohydrates. The American Heart Association, the National Academy of Science, the American Cancer Society, and many other groups and nutrition boards across the country recommend a diet in which a maximum of 30% of calories come from fat (no more than 10% of total calories from saturated fats), 55-65% calories come from carbohydrates, and 10-15% of calories are provided by proteins."

Fat isn't just butter or oil. It's cheese, sausage, fast food, milk, all proteins and condiments like mayonnaise.
A McDonald's double cheeseburger is 66% of your total daily calories just in fat.

Obtain smaller plates. Little crockery means portion control is a lot easier – those diminutive parts suddenly look huge and you’ll be happier to eat less.
