Polyunsaturated fat intake should be up to 10% of calories. Monounsaturated fat can make up to 15% of total calories. Total fat intake should be adjusted to caloric needs. Overweight individuals  should consume no more than 30% of total calories from fat. Cholesterol intake should be less than 300 milligrams per day. Sodium intake should be less than 2,400 milligrams per day, which is about  1 teaspoon of sodium chloride (salt).
