Daily fat intake target in grams, from your total calories and a target fat percentage.
Fat provides about 9 calories per gram — more than double protein or carbohydrate — so dividing the calories allotted to fat by 9 converts that amount into grams.
That's the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range for fat as a share of total daily calories — a general population guideline, not a target tailored to your specific goals.
The Macro Calculator splits your calories across protein, carbs and fat together (requiring all three percentages to add to 100%). This page focuses on fat alone against a single AMDR benchmark.
