1 Limiting the amount of saturated fats you eat to less than 7 percent of your total daily calories.

Daily Grams of Fat. Based on a 2,000 calorie diet, your recommended fat intake is around 400 to 700 calories per day, which is 20 to 35 percent. Since each gram of fat has 9 calories, your ideal amount ranges between 45 to 78 grams of fat per day. Your recommended saturated fat intake is 22 grams or less per day. If you are at risk or have heart disease, reduce your saturated fat intake even further to 7 percent of your calories, equivalent to 140 calories or 15 grams per day. Trans fats should be limited to no more than 20 calories or 2.2 grams per day.
