Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A diet consisting of less than 10% of total energy as fat is classified as a very low fat diet, which typically limits intake of foods such as oils, nuts, and fatty meats. It is not necessarily a very low calorie diet, although it may be lower in calories than a higher fat diet. It is also not necessarily a high carbohydrate diet, as protein or fiber-rich foods may be emphasized.
