Question

The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily. If you are told that you should not consume any more than 23 % of your calories from fat, how many grams of fat should you eat in a day?

Answer 1

Answer : The amount of fat you eat in a day should be, 51.11 grams.

Explanation :

As we are given that the current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily.

Consumed calories % = 23 % = 0.23

Total consumed calories = 2000 × 0.23 calories

Total consumed calories = 460 calories

Now we have to determine the amount of fat should you eat in a day.

As we know that, 1 gram of fat has 9 calories. That means,

As, 9 calories equivalent to 1 gram

So, 460 calories equivalent to
`\farc{460}{9}=51.11` gram

Therefore, the amount of fat you eat in a day should be, 51.11 grams.
