Is it okay to eat 4g of saturated fat in one item?

A protein bar with approximately 250 calories, 4g saturated fat (2g unsaturated fats), 30g protein, and 5g net carbs.

Is this too much saturated fat, even if I don't eat any other saturated fat for the day?

Thanks.

    Of course that's ok! If you're not going to eat anything else with saturated fats in them, then that's perfectly alright. How many calories do you plan on eating? If say, you're going to eat 1500 calories, then you shouldn't eat more than 15 g of sat. fat, if 1300, then no more than 13 g.

    No, that is not a lot of saturated fat. Well, it is, but you can still have more during the day. You can have around 20 g saturated fat per day. Have a nice day!

    Saturated fat is allowed to be 10% of your diet.
