Calorie counting

Calorie counting is something that is very common that people do when they diet. Honestly i Calorie count. It works for me. Something that works for me is setting my daily calorie goal to a low number like 800. People may say thats way to low to go. But in fact most people tend to eat more calories than they planned. So if you plan to eat 800 your most likely to go over by 100 or 200. Also you shouldnt just count calories, you should count calories and fat.


Convert the fat as follows:




20% of 1800 = 360 fat calories.


There are 9 calories in one gram of fat.


360 divided by 9 = 40 grams of fat.


40 is the maximum number of fat grams that you can eat per day. Only 20 grams or less should be in saturated or hydrogenated fats.






You choose a diet of 20% fat and 2200 calories per day.


20% of 2200 = 440 fat calories divided by 9 = 49 grams of fat maximum per day. Still only 24.5 grams or less should be in saturated or hydrogenated fats.
