How many grams of saturated fat is ok to have per day? im 26, 5,6 about 145 everything including bp is normal except ldl is 111 so i wanna know how many grams of each fat is ok to have while trying to lower ldl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ideally zero saturated fats should be ingested but this is impossible as even some unsaturated fats contain some saturated fats. Eat no more than 20 gms per day and avoid cholesterol also.
