You definitely shouldn't take a Xen with a meal that contains 5 grams of fat. Look at it this way:
Each gram of fat contains 9 calories. Xen blocks 30% of the fat in a meal. So a meal with 5 grams of fat contains 45 caloies from fat. Xen would block 1/3 of that or 15 calories. Considering what the drug costs that doesn't make sense. Save it for meals containing around 15 to 20 grams of fat. Obviously that's just my opinion. Good Luck!!
