Im 29, 5 ft, 4" tall and I weigh almost 60 kilo's.

Does anyone know what my daily intake of fat per day should be?

Thanks

3o grams or less. Better to go by calorie intake

Someone told me 21 grams a day, which seems a little, they also told me to go by fat is better than calories, as calories are easy to take on and off compared to fat.

Im confused

You body must burn all the calories it takes in before you can burn your fat in storage. Keep you fat count low an keep track of your calories.

Sounds good 1000-1200 a good range for women men can go 2000-2500.

I was under the impression that women needed about 2,000 calories per day.

2000 may be to maintain healthy weight. I'm not an expert, just my educated guess.
