It can be a tricky term. Most thoughts lead to cheese or melted
chocolate which are naturally high fat.

There are other types though where a fondue pot is used with high temp
broths and simpler lower fat meats. The style of cooking then at the
table leads to lower eating overall of the meat (because each bite
takes time to cook so as you nibble your body has times to say 'I'm
full' so you stop sooner).


It's not low-fat, but it isnt really high fat automatically/ Depends
on what you put in there.
