How can I easily figure out what percent of calories from fat a food is?
The simplest way is to find the number of calories per serving is to divide the number of calories from fat by the total calories. If the label shows how many calories from fat, then just divide. For example, a food with 150 calories per serving, 25 from fat = 17% calories from fat (25 รท 150 = 16.67) If only the grams of fat are shown, multiply the number of grams by 9 and then divide as above. A very simple method to find foods under 10% calories from fat is to only consume those that have one gram of fat, or less, per hundred calories.
