Kids older than two years of age should eat no more than 30% total fat of their daily total calorie intake. For example, the Mayo Clinic recommends that girls between 4-8 take in between 1200-1800 calories a day depending upon their age, weight, and activity level. This means that if my active 6 year old daughter eats about 1500 calories a day, a little less than 500 of those calories should be from fat. Labels will show total calories and fat from calories per serving, which helps make this tricky equation easier.
