To calculate the number of grams of fat consumed, we need to multiply the total kcalories consumed by the percentage of calories that come from dietary fat (%35 = 0.35). This will give us the total number of kcalories that come from fat. Then, we can divide this number by the number of kcalories per gram of fat, which is 9. Therefore, the formula is: (Total kcalories consumed) x (% of calories from fat) / (kcals per gram of fat) = grams of fat consumed. In this case, it would be: 2000 x 0.35 / 9 = 77.78 grams of fat consumed daily.
