Every vision is a unique lens that analyzes food ingredients according to a specific dietary approach. Choose the visions that match your needs, and OK4ME will evaluate every product through those lenses.
The Low Fat vision is designed for people who want to choose foods built around naturally lighter ingredients and avoid products that rely heavily on added fats, fatty animal ingredients, or processed fat-based components. Its purpose is not to label foods as universally "good" or "bad," but to help you identify which products are more closely aligned with a lower-fat eating style.
In this vision, foods made mostly from vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, starches, herbs, spices, and other naturally low-fat ingredients are viewed very positively. Lean options such as egg whites, skinless chicken breast, white fish, shrimp, and fat-free dairy also fit well within this approach. These ingredients tend to support a simpler and lighter nutritional profile, which is exactly what this vision is meant to favor.
At the same time, the Low Fat vision becomes more cautious when a product includes ingredients that contribute a more noticeable fat load. This includes items such as oils, nuts, seeds, egg yolks, full-fat dairy, and richer animal proteins like beef, pork, duck, salmon, or mackerel. These ingredients are not automatically rejected in every case, but they are considered less aligned with the goal of keeping fat intake lower.
Important note
This vision is not trying to measure whether an ingredient is fashionable, natural, or generally praised in nutrition discussions. It focuses on one specific question: does this ingredient move the product toward a lower-fat profile, or away from it? That is why certain ingredients that are often seen as wholesome, such as avocado, olives, nuts, seeds, olive oil, or avocado oil, are still treated cautiously here. They may have qualities valued in other dietary approaches, but they are not considered especially compatible with a low-fat goal.
The vision becomes stricter when it encounters ingredients that are especially concentrated in fat or are commonly used to make foods richer, heavier, or more processed. Butter, cream, cheese, ghee, milk fat, lard, tallow, duck fat, bacon, sausage, palm oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, margarine, shortening, powdered fats, and hydrogenated oils are all strong signals that a product may not fit well with a low-fat objective. Fried ingredients are also treated unfavorably, as are vague labels such as "vegetable oil" when the oil is not clearly identified.
The Low Fat vision also looks at the nutrition facts when they are available. A product with 3 grams of fat or less receives a meaningful boost, because this strongly supports the idea that it fits the intended profile. That additional signal helps distinguish between products that merely sound light and those that are genuinely low in fat overall.
≤ 3g fat per 100g
Products meeting this threshold receive additional positive weighting
This vision can be especially useful for anyone trying to reduce overall fat intake, limit saturated fats, avoid heavily processed fat-based ingredients, or simply choose lighter everyday products with more confidence. It is meant to make comparisons easier and to give you a clearer read on how a product is built.

As with every vision in the app, the goal is to give you a helpful lens, not a final verdict on your entire diet. A product may score well for fat while being less favorable for sugar, salt, or processing, so the Low Fat vision is best used as one guide among others, depending on your own priorities and needs.
