The American Heart Association stresses that a diet to effectively lower cholesterol, a main contributor to heart disease, should consist of no more than 30 percent of total daily calories from fat (less is better) or 10 percent of calories from saturated fat. Fats contain more calories (9 calories per gram) than either carbohydrates or protein (each have only 4 calories per gram). Given that our energy (calorie) needs fall with age, this caloric difference between fat, carbs and protein is significant for weight control.
