This is equivalent to eating 56 to 78 grams of fat for a 2,000-calorie diet, 72 to 101 grams for a 2,600-calorie intake and 89 to 124 grams of fat per day when consuming a 3,200-calorie diet. Healthy fats for teens include olive, canola, walnut and flaxseed oils, purified fish oils, avocados, olives, peanut butter, nuts and seeds.
