It is difficult to remember the exact values of how much of each type of fat you are supposed to consume each day, because some of the values are very specific. For example: 11-14g of linoleic acid, 1.1-1.3g of α-linoleic acid, <10% of daily calories coming from saturated & avoiding trans fat. Therefore, it may be more helpful to try and remember some general riles when thing about fat intake. Which of the following answer options provides good practical advice on healthful fat consumption?

Understand that the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) provides recommended ranges for the percentage of total daily energy intake that should come from each macronutrient: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Recall that fats are a crucial source of energy and essential fatty acids, but consuming too much or too little can affect health negatively.
Identify the AMDR range specifically for fat intake in healthy adults, which is typically expressed as a percentage of total daily calories.
Recognize that the AMDR for fat intake is set to balance energy needs and support overall health, usually falling between 20% and 35% of total daily energy intake.
Compare the given options to the known AMDR range for fat and select the one that matches the 20%–35% range.
