When counting the calories you ate, do you count based on fat calories or just calories?

i noticed that when i eat something, i look in the back of the container and see that it says calories and fat calories, i know that in one day a person should only eat up to 2000 calories, no more than that but i dont know to which one they refer to. Please only answer if you know, dont just guess...thanx

If you are a female 2000 is way too many calories maybe depending on how much you weight. In America we have lots of people overweight and the fact is that the average 200 pound person burns 2000 calories a day. If you weigh 150 then you burn 1500 if you weight 120 then you only need 1200 calories a day. Crazy I know it sucks.

YOu look at calories. Fat calories mean nothing just the percent of calories coming from fat. If you had high cholesterol then maybe you would look at this.

There are 3500 calories in one pound of fat.

Calorie is just a unit of energy just like when you walk into a home in the winter that is 70 degrees you cannot tell if it is electric or gas heat heating the home to 70. You body is the same way it cannot tell if it is a fat, protein or carbohydrate calorie just that you ate one.

Hope this helps I am not guessing don't worry.
