- Total fat: 78 g a day is 100%.
- Saturated fat: 20 g a day is 100%.

Tips

- Add sauces, dressings and toppings one at a time, since they add up fast.
- Choose water, unsweetened tea or a diet drink to save calories.
- Pick the size shown in the calculator, since larger sizes add calories and sodium.
