While the meal may not have much visible fat, it includes high calorie, sugar and carbohydrate-dense foods with invisible fats (such as the cheese biscuits and chocolate mousse). Additionally, the sweet potatoes with sugar glaze most likely add a considerable amount of fat and calories to the meal. Therefore, the fat contribution of the meal should be considered high.
