Most people understand that it is wise to limit the amount of fat grams in their daily diet. The dietary reference intake amount for an adult ranges from 20% to 35% of daily calories; or about 44 to 55 grams per day. Since a single slice of pecan pie carries with it 27 grams of fat, and a mere tablespoon of thousand island salad dressing contains 8 grams of fat it is not surprising to see more and more people checking food labels and “passing over” an order of onion rings as they try to lose, or maintain, inches and pounds.
