Q. How much cooking oil can you eat in a day?

Answer

Expert nutritionist and lifestyle coach Sandhya Gugnani recommend limiting fat and oil consumption to no more than 5 tablespoons per day, switching to a healthier fat, engaging in moderate exercise, and generally leading an active, healthy lifestyle. There is room for 5-6 tablespoons of oil in a 2,000-calorie diet for women. Six to seven teaspoons are fine for males. The amount of oil in foods may be estimated using a teaspoon as a measuring device. Refer to the table below for a general idea of how much oil is often included in certain meals. Furthermore, numerous recent studies have proven that not all saturated fats are dangerous, so rest easy.
