% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

Fish, particularly fatty varieties, provides protein and omega-3 fatty acids. However, research from NutritionFacts.org indicates that omega-3s from fish may not offer protective benefits against heart disease and can be a source of pollutants. In contrast, observational evidence, as noted by Harvard Health and the American Heart Association, suggests that regular consumption of fatty fish is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
