Contrave And High Fat Meals

Has it been specified in quantitative measures what constitutes "High Fat Foods" (e.g., 30 g/day)? Are we talking about two sticks of butter or two French Fries?

@Miss Brown,

When I hear the words "high fat" mentioned in a clinical context, as I have in college textbooks for nutrition, anything in excess of 30g/day seems to fit that bill.

However in my opinion, a high fat diet could also constitute a lower or greater number depending on whether someone is on a specialized diet.

Also, according to the FDA, "high fat" is defined as 50% of calories coming from fat. For this reason, I'd probably encourage you to get in touch with a registered dietician for more specific details.

I know in my own day to day life, trying to stay fit, I tend to keep my fat intake right around 30g or lower (when/if possible), but I don't fret if I go over it occasionally.

Hope this helps!
