Simply - your recommended daily caloric intake consists of three types of so called macronutrients:
Carbohydrates, found in bread, rice, paste, ... - at 4 kcal/g
Protein, found in fish, beef, poultry, eggs - at 4 kcal/g
Fats, found in Oil, Meat, butter - at 9 kcal/g
so if your recommended intake ist 2000 kcal/day and 50g of fats you could eat like this:
50 g fats * 9 = 450 kcal
150 g protein * 4 = 600 kcal
250 g carbs *4 = 1000 kcal
------------------------------------
approx. 2000kcal
of course if you eat less protein and more fat (typical western diet) you could have this:
100 g fats * 9 = 900 kcal
50 g protein * 4 = 200 kcal
200 g carbs *4 = 800 kcal
------------------------------------
approx. 1900kcal
So you BELOW recommend kcal but ABOVE recommend fat intake. Hope this helps.
