Reply from sarah, Age 15 - 07/25/07 - IP#: 66.25.159.xxx if you are going to eat calories...you want them to be useful. most fat isn't useful. its just a wasted calorie. so the "calories from fat" means ... say something is 200 calories and 100 of those are from fat.. then taht means more than half of the calories you are eating are useless... so when the number ishigh.. it's bad.. most foodsl ike chips, cookies, candy... are going to have lots of calories from fat. bad. but if you eat a lot of calories form veggies and fruit..the calories from fat will bel ow... basically.. if you are going to eat 200 calories... it's better to get nutritional value from them by eating 200 calories of fruit .. rather than 200 of candy.. you see?
