Document Summary

5 ounces of baked potato = 145 kcal (3% fat) 5 ounces of potato chips = 795 kcal (60% fat: methods of quantification (need % energy content not % mass) Best way to show fat content is percentage of energy. E. g milk: 3%-4% mass = 3-4 grams per 100 ml but 55% by energy content. 4 grams x 9 kcal/g = 36 kcal. 100 ml whole milk = 65 kcal. % fat by energy = 55% (36/65 x 100) Dietary recommendation for fat intake: total fat intake should be <30% of energy intake (1gram/kg) Monounsaturated should be 10%-15: total fat intake for obese or heart patients should be 10%-20% of energy intake, for children under 2 years, this recommendation is too low. Some fats must be in the diet (indispensable); growth and development of the brain and cns. Fat should not be restricted for children. Has 18 c, 2 double bonds [18:2]
