  4. Calories from Fat Calories No more than % of 35 Check here to be sure Getting to know the FACTS Elementary School calories should be from fat. the calories are within So how do we figure this the appropriate limits: out? The equation goes like food calories per ≤ 200 this: calories from fat/total Item. calories = 0.17 25 ÷ 150 Saturated Fat To form a percent, we 10 % of total calories Less than multiply this number by 100 should come from saturated fat, but the label lists saturated fat in grams. × 100 0.17 A simple trick for converting grams This means that 17% of the to calories is to remember that 1 calories are from fat. gram of fat contains 9 calories. Grams saturated fat × calories per Sodium gram = calories from saturated fat. 0.5 × 9 = 4.5 calories The sodium should be ≤ 200 mg. But now we need to know if that is : 10 % or less of the total calories ( Calories from saturated fat÷ total Sugars (calories) × 100 = % calories from Item should be no more than saturated fat. 35 % sugar by weight. (4.5/150) 1 × 00 = 3% calories from ( Grams of sugar ÷ grams per saturated fat. serving) × 100 = % sugar by weight. Trans Fat (1 ÷40) × 100 = 2.5% sugar by All food items should have no weight. grams of trans fat more than 0.5 per serving. What about Whole Grains?
