How Much Fat is Considered Healthy? A Step-By-Step Fat Calculating Guide

Hurray. Hurray. Have You thought of calculating how much fats you need per day? You have to start celebrating today. Why? You would never believe it. I just stumbled on it as I was doing my research. Wait a bit. I am going to reveal everything to you. What is it all about, I can hear you ask.

Okay, this is it. Would you believe me if I Tell you that you can eliminate your excess fats just by following the provided guidelines for daily fats consumption? Never in your life would you complain of excess fats again. It is a very simple method. By the time you know how it is done you will be grateful to me. But firstly, the general guidelines for daily fats consumption-

(i) Eat not more than 30% of your total calories from fats

(ii) Of that 30% no more than 10% or 1/3 of the total fats diet should be from saturated fats.

Read on to know the amount of fats you need per day.

Step 1: Measure your weight in pounds and add zero on the end. Example, if a woman's weight is 100 pounds, the value becomes 1000.

Step 2: Calculate the resting metabolic rate (RMR) by adding your weight again to the calculated RMR value from step 1. If you are a man, multiply your weight by 2 before adding it to the RMR value. Hence,

RMR=1000+100

RMR=1100 calories

Step 3: Estimate the number of calories you need for your daily activities by multiplying the RMR values from step 2 by 30%. See how this is done below;

Number of calories needed for daily activities=1100*0. 3

Number of calories needed for daily activities=330 calories

Step 4: Hope you are following me. What is left now is to get the estimated daily calorie intake. To do this, add the RMR value from step 2 to the the number of calories for daily activities from step 3. Hence,

Daily calorie intake=1100+330

Total daily calorie intake=1430

Step 5: To get the number of fat calories to take in a day, find 30% of the value in step 4;

Total daily fat intake=0. 3*1430

Total daily fat intake=429 calories of total fats

Step 6: Change the 429 calories into grams by dividing it by 9.

Amount of fats to consume a day=429/9

Amount of fats=47. 7 grams.

That is it. Straight forward enough for you to grab. Should I congratulate you? Remember that, by knowing how much fat you can consume daily, no excess fat would ever be stored in your body. That means you can't get overweight. How do you feel now?
