The recommended intake of fat is anywhere from 15% up to 30% per day
which equates to 47 – 82 grams per day. The important thing is to get your
fats in as natural form as possible. Make sure you check food labels for
hidden fats and be careful of products which state ‘Fat-free’. These often
have high levels of salt, sugar and artificial substances which enhance their
shelf life.
