How this calculator works
The result depends on the numbers you enter and the assumptions shown below.

Dietary fat provides 9 calories per gram. The AMDR recommends 20–35% of calories from fat. Saturated fat should stay under 10% of total calories. Healthy fats from nuts, fish, and olive oil support heart health.

Review the inputs carefully and treat the output as an estimate. For decisions involving money, taxes, health, law, or security, compare the result with trusted professional guidance when needed.

Frequently asked questions

What are healthy vs. unhealthy fats?

Unsaturated fats (olive oil, avocados, nuts, fish) are beneficial. Saturated fats (red meat, dairy) should be limited. Trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils) should be avoided entirely.
