There is a bewildering array of terms out there to tell us why we should choose one brand of product over another. Many of these have to do with either the caloric content, the fiber content, or the fat content, of the product. Fortunately, there are some real definitions mandated by the government, so we don't have to just guess what those claims mean.
Fat-free means that there has been no fat or oil added to the product, and it contains less than 1/2 gram of fat per serving.
Low fat means that the product contains 3 grams or less fat per serving
Less fat means that the product has 25 % or less fat than the product it's being compared to.
Light means that the product contains 50 % or less fat than the product it's being compared to.
Reduced fat means that the product contains 25 % less than the normal product.
High Fiber means that the product contains 5 grams or more per serving.
For Meat and Fish
Extra Lean means the meat or fish contains less than: 5 grams of total fat, 2 grams of saturated fat and 95 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams (about 3 oz) of meat or fish.
Lean means the meat or fish contains less than: 10grams of total fat, 4.5grams of saturated fat and 95 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams (about 3 oz) of meat or fish.
