At this time there is not a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) (or Adequate Intake (AI)) for total fat. Meanwhile an Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) has been declared as 20 to 35 percent of energy, which would be practical for most people based on today’s food supply. It is important to realize that the AMDR is not a requirement level and many nutrition scientists believe that the absolute lowest requirement for fat in our diet could be as little as 5 percent of calories (for weight maintenance) as long as it is derived from healthier sources including seeds, plant oils, as well as fish and other marine life.
Some fat is needed in the diet to provide essential fatty acids, which are important regulatory factors.
