Sweetbreads (100 G)

Choose plain, unbreaded sweetbreads and avoid flour-based coatings, sugary glazes, and sweet sauces.

Keep the serving moderate and pair it with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or salad greens.

Add a fiber-rich side such as lentils or chickpeas instead of bread, fries, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Use olive oil, herbs, lemon, vinegar, mustard, or unsweetened yogurt-based sauces for flavor rather than sweet condiments.

Eat slowly and start the meal with vegetables or a salad before the sweetbreads.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
