dieting, how many fat gram should I have daily?
Hi Bootsie,
This depends on your daily calorie intake while trying to lose weight. I recommend fat intake be ~30% of your total daily calories.
If you are following 1500 calories per day your fat intake (30%) would be 450 calories or 50 grams.
All the best,
