How many grams of fat should we have in one day?

  • Ok, so I count calories, but I am still really confused as to how to count grams of fat. Is this really important as well as counting calories? How many grams of fat should we eat on a calorie restricted diet?
  • Here is a link to the nutrition guideline recommendations for fat, carbs, fiber, etc. from the Mayo Clinic. Once you get to the site, click on "fat" for the info you want. Hope this helps!
