Help Understanding Fat Models

I see the oft-repeated phrase "Keep your controllers thin and models fat", but I'm having a problem wrapping my head around it. Most of the tutorials and examples I see have just about all of the code in the controllers, and the models have little more than associations.

So.. what exactly does a fat model look like? How do I know what to pull out of my controllers to move into models - everything seems to be working great the way it is. Do methods/actions/functions look and work the same in a model as they do in a controller?

Any advice, pointers, links are much appreciated!
