So, to make sure I understand this correctly: There are 9 calories per 1 gram of fat. If I limit my fat to 20% of my total daily calories of 800, that means 160 calories can come from fat (800 x .2 = 160). 160 calories / 9 calories = 18 grams of fat.
So 18 grams of fat for an 800 calorie diet.
Thanks for the info! My nutritionist tells us not to worry about the carb-protein-fat ratio and instead, to just concentrate on getting all of our Protein in and to "limit carbs and fat," whatever that means. I can't work that way. I have to have numbers, not relative terms like "limit" or "reduce".
