Question

Lipids, a chemical family that includes cholesterol and fat, make up a major part of the average human diet. At 9 kcal per gram -- compared to 4 of carbohydrates and proteins, fats serve as concentrated sources of energy to fuel your active lifestyle. However, beyond boosting your energy intake, fats and cholesterol have a number of other physiological roles and eating certain types of fat benefits your health. I want your postings to reflect: Total fat that you personally ate in a day (so look at the food labels, calculate the total calorie from fat, add them up and determine the percentage). Now sometimes its hard to get food label for home cooked meals. For that, check out this website: https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list (Links to an external site.)

Answer 1

The diet I ate in the morning 2 slice of wheat bread with peanut butter which contains 9 g of fat. For Lunch, 1 cup of brown rice contains 2g of fat with salad dressing with 1tsp olive oil contains 24.5g of fat. For dinner, plain rice with chicken contains 9.8g of fat. In addition snacks with one serving of french fries contain 11.1 g of fat, and plain yogurt two times contain 4.5 g of fat. Milk twice a day include 15 g of fat. Totally, in a day I consume 76.7 g of fat. My total caloric intake 1800 per day. In total 1800 calories, 690.3 (76.7 x 9) calorie is from fat. I consume almost 35 percent of calorie from fat as ADMR recommended.
