Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the grams of fat in a 2000-kcalorie diet that provides 25% of its calories from fat, first determine the total calories from fat: 2000 kcal * 25% = 500 kcal. Since there are 9 calories in a gram of fat, divide the total calories from fat by 9: 500 kcal / 9 kcal/g = approximately 55 grams of fat.
