no fat

Zero lipid content

No fat on food labels means the product contains less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving—essentially trace amounts.

In casual use, no fat describes any food perceived as fat-free: I'll have the no-fat yogurt.

The term emerged with late-twentieth-century diet culture, when dietary fat was considered the primary enemy of weight loss.
