People have always gotten confused with calculating the 30 percent of calories from fat guideline.
Any simple approach is certainly easier for people to understand.
The American Heart Association has revised its influential dietary guidelines stressing common sense in choosing daily fare and downplaying complicated percentages of fat or nutrients. It's the first significant revision in four years of the association's guidelines, which are widely mimicked by other health organizations. The AHA urges a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, lowfat dairy products, fish, lean meats and poultry. Five servings of fruits and vegetables and six servings of grains are recommended daily. Now you won't have to be a smart enough mathematician to figure out all the complicated percentages on food labels.
