Question

The average adolescent should consume no more than __ grams of fat per day

Answer 1

For a 2,000-calorie diet -- the recommended amount for moderately active teenage girls -- 25 to 35 percent of daily calories would equal approximately 55 to 75 grams of fat per day. Moderately active teenage boys need 2,600 calories per day, on average, making their daily fat requirement between 70 and 100 grams.
