Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eat a variety of foods Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein foods, and fat-free or low-fat dairy or fortified soy alternatives are healthy choices. Include a variety of protein foods such as seafood, lean meats, poultry, beans, peas, lentils, nuts, and eggs.

Detailed explanation-3: -the grams of fat in a consumer’s diet will depend on calorie intake. For example, for a person consuming 2, 200 calories per day, the upper limit on total daily fat intake is 660 calories. Seventy-three grams of fat contribute about 660 calories (73 grams x 9 calories per gram of fat = 660 calories).
