How to Calculate Fat Content
Formula
Fat (g) = Food Weight (g) x Fat Percentage / 100
Calories from Fat = Fat (g) x 9
Fat provides 9 calories per gram, more than double protein or carbs (4 cal/g each).
Daily Value
The daily value for total fat is 65 g based on a 2000 calorie diet (about 30% of calories from fat).
Example Calculation
Calculate fat in 100 g of 85% lean ground beef.
- 01Fat content: 15% (85% lean = 15% fat).
- 02Fat: 100 x 15/100 = 15 g.
- 03Calories from fat: 15 x 9 = 135 kcal.
