Fat Intake Calculation Formula
The general guideline for daily fat intake is:
Fat Intake (grams) = Total Daily Calories × Fat Percentage / 9
Example: If your daily calorie requirement is 2,000 kcal and you want 30% of calories from fat:
- Fat Calories = 2000 × 0.30 = 600 kcal
- Fat in Grams = 600 / 9 = 67g per day
