Hi all,

I am starting to eat more healthy and am so confused with all this calories intake, fat intake etc.

Now how am I supposed to know how many calories a day I am supposed to have and how many fat (g) a day I am supposed to have?

And when I look at the ingredients on items it says Fat (g) and then underneath Fat (Saturated) grams? Now am I supposed to note down the Fat (g) or the saturated fat (g)? I did read somewhere that a female is to have 60g of Fat a day and a male 90g but my question to you is of Fat or saturated as there seems to be a big difference?

Any feedback would be great!!!!

Thanks
