What is the max calories from fat someone should have a day?
You want no more than 30 percent of your calories to come from fat. To calculate this you would need to figure out the amount of calories your body needs per day. 1. Multiply your weight by 10 2. Take that number and multiply it by your level of activity : sedentary, 20%, light, 30%; moderate, 40%; very active, 50% 3. Add the numbers you got from step one and two. Multiply this by 10% 4. Add all three numbers up Now, take this number and subtract about 200-300 calories. This is the amount of calories that should be taken in to promote healthy body fat loss. A healthy breakdown of macronutrients is 55% carbohydrates, 25% fat, 20% protein. There are 4 calories per gram of carbs, 4 calories per gram of protein, and 9 calories per gram of fat. So for instance, if your caloric intake for the day came out to be 2000, your calories from fat would be as follows: 2000 x .25 = 500 fat calories and you could break this down even further into grams per day: 500/9 = about 56 grams I hope this helps
