Question Preparation for Bile Acid Test (BAT): Help!

Meg has her Bile Acid Test in the morning. It's currently 10:30pm and I'm now fasting her, and I just read that she cannot have any chews (ie: bully stick) tonight or in the morning. My question is: do I need to bring a specific type of food with me, or will the vet provide the fatty food? My vet gave me virtually no guidance on this. The only thing she said was "Don't give her breakfast". And how much will Meg need to eat tomorrow? Can too much/too little food cause the test results to not be accurate? What if she won't eat the food they give her? She's very picky. Can I bring human food (= guarantee she'll eat it)?

The BAT is a blood test, right? I was just reading online that a urine sample is collected, but I don't think that's right.
