5 grams of fat is 1 diabetic fat exchange. 1 diabetic fat exchange is about 45 Kcals. A fat exchange is about 1 tsp of oil.
100 grams of fat would be 20 fat exchanges I believe unless my memory is malfunctioning. That is a lot of fat.
Jeanette are you sure about the 100 grams of fat to eaten in a day for this test, maybe it was 100 Kcals instead? What exactly did they have you eat? How many Ts or ts of fat? Or what was the menu?
When my gall bladder stopped working I couldn't even eat 1/4 a tsp of oil without symptoms.
100gs of fat would likely give me pancreatitis; as I still can tolerate very little fat. My liver wouldn't appreciate it either.
I'd avoid such a test if they did ask me to eat that much fat in a week let alone 24 hrs, as I know fat is what really gets my guts in major pain. Yikes!
