with sHTG and FCS
If you have severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) or familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), you have to take care when snacking. Here are some triglyceride-friendly snack ideas that can help you satisfy your cravings. Ask your dietitian if these will work for you.
Quick Snacks on the go
Fresh Vegetables. Fresh vegetables such as baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers are ready-to-eat, tasty snacks packed with nutrients.
Fat-Free Cottage Cheese. Fat-free cottage cheese is good on its own, mixed with fruit, or as a dip for your fresh veggies.
Ranch Dip. Ranch powder mixed with fat-free Greek yogurt makes a delicious ranch dip.
Fresh Fruits. Berries and certain fruits in moderation, such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, oranges, kiwi.
Non-Fat Yogurt. Non-fat, sugar-free yogurts make a delicious base for many treats.
Non-Fat String Cheese. Non-fat string cheese can be stocked in the refrigerator for a “grab and go” snack.
Turkey Jerky. Turkey jerky can be very low in fat, tastes delicious, and is ready to eat.
Air-Popped Popcorn. Make the fat-free kind in a microwave. Toss in salt, dried oregano or basil, cinnamon, or a dash of cayenne pepper.
