How much fat should you eat? On the nutrition panel they must declare the serving size and the nutritional content for that serving. On nutrition labels of food intended for consumption by adults, the fat is displayed as total fat -- the amount of fat in gram weight contained in that one serving and the percentage of your daily fat intake that should be. This is based on an average diet of 2000 calories.

 How much protein should you eat? If you will increase proteins adding more calories and exercise to your daily life, instead of building muscle mass you will put your other body systems under undue stress. And eating more protein while increasing calorie intake but keeping at the same exercise levels builds an equal amount of additional fat and muscle. While, a diet where protein is more than 30% of your calorie intake causes a buildup of toxic keton. A “ketogenic” diet, or one high in ketenes, pushes your kidneys to excessively flush themselves free of toxins.
