You are doing a regular checkup on a middle-aged woman. She is overweight and you've discovered she has far too much fat in her diet.
You've decided her fat intake should be no more than 20 percent of the 1,700 calories you're recommending for her per day.
If only 20 percent of her calories can come from fat per day, how many calories from fat will she be allowed to consume?
So she can plan her menu on a daily basis, you need to tell her how many grams of fat she's allowed.
If each gram of fat has 9 calories, how many grams of fat is she allowed per day?
