Its not as simple as that. If you are going to eat high fat foods you first need to work out how many calories they contain. You then need to work out your daily required calorie intake (this is different for individual people) and then work out how much exercise you would need to do to burn off the excess calorie intake. If you burn more calories than you take in, it should not be a problem. Also, high fat foods don't always contain high calories. Likewise, low fat food can be high in sugars which convert to calories!
