Several scientific groups
suggest that Americans
moderate the amount of fat in their diets. Some recommend that fat be
limited to amounts that will provide no more than 30 percent of
calories.
For example, a woman wishing to moderate her fat intake to 30 percent
of her 2,000-calorie diet is advised to select foods that total no more
than 65
grams of fat per day.
Food energy is reported as calories. A calorie is the
unit of measure for the amount of energy that protein, fat, and
carbohydrate furnish the body.
The official unit of measurement for food energy is actually
kilocalories (kcal), but the term “calories” is commonly used in its
place. In fact, “calories” is
used on the food label.
Alcohol also contributes to the calorie content of alcoholic
beverages.
