The high-fat meal consisted of hamburgers and hash browns from a fast-food joint. The Bloomberg/Business Week article reports that the high-fat meal consisted of about 1,000 calories and 60 grams of fat.

One gram of fat contains nine calories (statistics). So, the meal had 540 calories consisting of fat, just over 50% of the meal was fat.

According to the American Heart Association, as reported by the article, an average meal should contain no more than 25% to 35% of its calories from fat. So, this meal is classified as a high-fat meal.
