AHA Recommendation. The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a dietary pattern that achieves 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fat. For example, if you need about 2,000 calories a day, no more than 120 of them should come from saturated fats. Thatâs about 13 grams of saturated fats a day.
Generally speaking, you should be able to eat 50-100 grams per day of carbohydrates and lose weight. Maybe 100 on workout days and 50 on non workout days. Keep your carbs around your workout and have protein/fat meals the rest of the day.Hey.

âIn general, youâll want to eat a meal high in carbs and protein and low in fat roughly three to four hours before you exercise,â Cohen says, whether youâre trying to shed pounds or build muscle.

If youâre trying to lose weight, it may seem weird and counterproductive to eat a carb-heavy meal before you hit the gym.
