A member asked:
Do you think i should be concerned with calories or calories from fat, when reading nutrition fact labels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: Fat calories are important as it is 9 calories per gram of fat and only some types of fat are healthy. Total calories are important because - if you take in more calories than you burn you can gain weight.
