I would agree there. I think the issues about types of fat in the diet are mainly to do with cardiovascular risk rather than total calorie intake. Foods that are very high in fat are likely to be high in calories. It depends on the proportions that are consumed. I think there really is an issue about portion sizing. If there's one message I could get through, it is that certainly in ready-prepared food there needs to be clearer labelling on actually how many calories are provided in a proportion in relation to your needs. Particularly, if it's one thing you want to get across, you need to get it across clearly. Numerical presentation of the data may not be the best way of presenting that.
