The strips measure the presence of Ketone Bodies. If you've eaten a fatty meal and you test you'll get a high reading but it could be from the ketones that were created when the dietary fat was broken down. The strips do not differentiate between the two - they are not a very good tool for gauging fat burning because of this.
