VERY HIGH - over 50 percent fat

* Butter*
* Copha (hardened coconut fat)*
* Desiccated coconut*
* Margarine, table and cooking*
* Nuts
* Olive oil, all types including light olive oil
* Oils, poly-unsaturated and mono-unsaturated
* Peanut butter, nut butters
* Reduced-fat margarines
* Seeds (sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, etc.)


*) Means that the fat in that food is predominantly saturated. Most commercial foods (such as cakes, biscuits, fried foods, etc.) contain largely saturated fats, but home-cooked versions could be made with mono or polyunsaturated oils or margarine.
