  1. How to Calculate % Daily Value
    Here is how to calculate the daily value for total fat in the sandwich.
    FDA recommends limiting calories from total fats to 35% or less of total calories
    35% of a 2,000 calorie diet = 700 calories
    225 calories from fat in one sandwich is 32% of the 700 calorie limit (225 / 700 = 32%)
    Daily value is generally based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet. Individual needs vary and your daily value may be higher or lower. To adjust, substitute total calories consumed per day in place of 2,000.
