I've recently started to get myself back on track, couting calories and exercising considering in december I gained back the 10 pounds I lost this summer, going back from 150 to 160.
I created a livestrong account and I understand calorie counting for the most part but how should one consider the "fat calories" and how much of that should make up your daily intake?

Are you logging your calories on the daily plate or similar program?
They will give you your recommended fat/carb/protein percentages and help you track where you are for the day, it even comes up as a pie chart.
Mind you, everyone's "suggestion" is different and I aim for about DOUBLE the protein they recommend, so I stay satiated. I just looked and I am at 58g of fat for the day, which is 88% of my recommended daily value
HTH a little.

yes! and I see the pie chart of what I consumed but I don't know where the "suggested" intake is :/

wait, I think I found it... the "percent of dail value" under the two charts combined. Thank you.

right under where you list all your food there are your totals.
you might see fat- 36g, 55% of daily value. click on the 36g and it'll tell you how many more fat grms you can have. add the grams together and you have your total fat grams!
