The 2005 US Dietary Guidelines do not give specific limits for trans fat, but advise people to keep the intake of trans fat as low as possible. The American Heart Association recommends limiting trans fat to less than 1% of total calories, or about 2 grams or less per day for someone eating 2,000 calories a day.
