How many saturated fat grams should be consumed daily?
Foods high in saturated fats tend to raise blood cholesterol. These foods include high-fat dairy products (like cheese, whole milk, cream, butter, and regular ice cream), fatty fresh and processed meats, the skin and fat of poultry, lard, palm oil, and coconut oil. Keep your intake of these foods low. At 2,200 total calories per day, your suggested upper limit on saturated fat intake would be less than 24 grams.
