I apply the 5% rule to my meal overall, so if I like some foods that are over that, I balance it out with really low fat food in the same meal. However I think alot of people go by each piece of food. Guess it's about finding wgat works for you. i've never had any 'side-effect' from doing this.

So do u mean aslong as my meal overall doesnt go over 15g fat then i should be ok ?

A meal can be up to 15g fat AND under 5g of fat per 100g.

Both rules apply.

I have foods that are over 5g fat per 100g, for example yogurt for breakfast. But I also have some fruit which has little or no fat. If I add the yogurt and fruit together, meal is under 15 fat, AND under 5g fat per 100g of food.

Some people would not have the yogurt that is over 5g fat per 100g of yogurt.They make sure every single thing they eat is under the 5g of fat per 100g rule. Even so, they have too make sure that overall they eat less that 15g fat in a meal.

Say you choose a ready meal that is 5% fat, so 5g fat per 100g of food. If the meal weighs 400g, it would have 20g of fat. So its 5g fat per 100g, but over 15g fat in the meal.

Once you get the two rules clear in your head, it becoms second nature, and you will avoid any mishaps on the tabs!
