Overall, daily calories are the most important factor in weight control.

In other words, more than half of daily calories should come from carbohydrates.

But do you really know what your daily calorie burn is?

Just watch your daily calories to keep them in check.

On average, 18 per cent of our daily calories come from sugar.

But most people get about 40 percent of their daily calories from fat.

That means about 285 of your daily calories are coming from sugar, which health experts say is way too much.

No more than 35% of your daily calories should come from fat.

Less than 7% of your daily calories should come from saturated fat.

Fat should provide 30% or less of your total daily calories.
