fat-free

[rm]

So, I can't eat fat. Bad things happen. So what fat-free foods do you all recommend?

I'll take recipes and store-product ideas. And yes, tuna and turkey are my life. Woe.

ETA: You are all awesome. I'm actually getting excited about this, even if I would unprefer to be my own science experiment.

can't eat fat sounds like gall bladder issues to me. :(

lean meats, fat-free yogurt, pastas... hey, how are eggs and cheeses? can you tolerate any fat? *tilts* i will hunt for ideas for you if you tell me what you like.

Chicken and tuna seem fine, which have some small amount of fat. Small bits of peanut butter and avocado also seem fine. Snackwells fucking fat free cookies and angelfood cake also seem good. I haven't yet felt the nerve to try eggs and cheese and may just not until I know what's going on.

And yes, I'm wondering if I have stones without most symptoms, which can happen. If so, I just need to accomodate this until I have insurance and then have it taken care of in September. Which is a little nervewracking, but since I can eat, don't have a fever, am not in pain, figure I can.

I would try a little fat-free dairy, like a yogurt (which you can salt and make into a lovely soft cheese overnight). I wonder if sheep's milk might go well for you. I understand it's good for a delicate stomach.

As for the rest... I would center your meals on chicken, turkey, seafood, and fish and pastas. It's summer, so you'll have lots of veggies, too. Herbed vinegars can substitute for butters, a tiny bit of oil like olive or walnut goes a long way.
