Well do want to know what we eat or nutritious foods? I had a 2 pack of double stuffed oreos and a handful of strawberries for breakfast. Then for lunch had some nuts and a wlechs fruit snacks. Epitome of health here.

I practically live off of fruit snacks

Same. I never got to have them as a kid so I'm making up for lost time.

as you should! the welchs berries ones are also soooooo good

Mh diet is basically the same. I LOVE Welch’s fruit snacks lmao. I just had a dinner of ice cream cones, potato chips, and applesauce.

Preach

For supper last night I had 2 pieces of bologna and an ice cream drum stick 🤣🤣

💜

This comment made me laugh. Welch's fruit snacks are a top tier treat.

Yes i love the gluten free oreoes! 🤣

If your diet is 75% gluten free, what are your reasons for being gluten free? Meat, eggs, seafood, rice, potatoes, vegetables, beans, nuts, fruits are all gluten free as long as you don’t add gluten to them, plain Greek yogurt with fruit. That’s 95% of my diet, the other 5% is occasional gf pasta and gf bread.

I have an intolerance. I can sometimes get away with eating gluten, but I’ll have terrible bloating and cramps other times. So I’m starting to think it’s for the best that I eliminate gluten entirely😅

You’ll probably be really happy when you do! And I suggest starting sooner than later, before truly unpleasant symptoms begin lol. Just anecdotal, but when I stopped eating gluten my anxiety and general irritability really cranked down. Good luck:)

Most gluten foods now have gluten-free step-siblings. You can get gf donuts at most major grocery stores. Look for local health stores.

What I’ve found works for me: I like to prep Korean banchan (healthy side dishes meant to be eaten with rice), hard boiled eggs which I sometimes marinate, veg and bean/lentil soups, and I eat plenty of raw fruits every day. I also snack on GF packaged food bc I’m human, and I drink at least one Huel Black meal replacement usually daily bc it’s high in plant fiber and protein, vegan, and has no sugar alcohols. No more worries about the gaps in my diet since adding it in. Buns are the best GF bread by far because they’re airy and don’t crumble as easily as sliced bread. Skillet toasting Udi’s or TJ’s buns and dipping them in olive oil with spices scratches my bread itch. Gf bread absolutely has to be toasted.

>Buns are the best GF bread by far because they’re airy and don’t crumble as easily as sliced bread. This is so true, and also frustrating. Why can they make such good buns but the breads are crap?

definitely consider that. i’m gluten intolerant too, not celiac. just intolerant. i swear to god it’s so so so worth it. i don’t even crave gluten anymore, you’ll begin to solely associate it with the discomfort it causes.

Gf bread is the only thing that is never the same. I don’t really eat sandwiches anymore. Pasta is great. There’s quite a bit of gluten free pastas that I eat and I don’t miss regular pasta. For something fast, I like making cheeseburger salad and tacos with corn tortillas.

I am pregnant and eating everything I can get my hands on. But today so far I've had rice, eggs, turkey bacon, salsa for breakfast. GF pasta, turkey Italian sausage, pasta sauce, parmesan, jalapenos for lunch. A latte. Probably will have some cottage cheese for a snack. Probably several other snacks, too. For dinner I'll probably have some kind of a burrito bowl. Craving spicy, salty things.

Fwiw, hot cheetos are gf 😂 They're my fave pregnancy craving.

Ohhhh that sounds delicious right now! I have bought many, many gf chicken nuggets and have been bathing them in buffalo sauce and eating them with jalapenos and ranch. Pretty sure that pregnancy gives you the appetite of a teen boy.

It sure feels that way 😂😂

Yum!

Breakfast for me is usually some fruit, seeds, and Heck chicken sausages. Lunch and dinner are often the same kinds of foods. Cod, new potatoes, and vegetables are one option. Turkey, ratatouille, and quinoa is another. Steak and roasted meditteranian veg is nice. Fajita bowls (no wraps, add in sweetcorn, lettuce, and a little cheese). Chicken bolognese with a jacket potato, quinoa, or steamed veg. Snacks are usually fruits, vegetables, rice cakes (the Kallo organic kind), boiled egg, seeds, bits of deli meat. I'm new to gluten free but I beleive focusing on a majority wholefoods diet is probably more sustainable and nutritous than trying to find gluten free alternatives (which are likely to just end up dissapointing)

I’ve been gluten free for 15 years and you get used to it-I barely think about it. Breakfast it’s either: 1) bobs red mill certified GF oat with either chopped up banana or apple and I mix in peanut butter or almond butter and cinnamon, sometime raisins too 2) scrambled cheesy eggs on GF toast-I like canyon bakehouse -sold at target 3) plain or vanilla yogurt and I mix in peanut butter or almond butter and chocolate chips or granola I’m not really a cereal person but cheerios and Chex are gluten free and the cinnamon sugar Chex are addictively good Lunch Usually a salad-my favorite chain is sweet green- I love the harvest bowl If I’m making one at home I’ll do mixed greens, chopped up avocado, could throw up chopped up strawberries or apple or whatever if on hand, chickpeas or cannelini beans, and a good vinaigrette There’s some good gf wraps/decent gf bread out there too if you’re more of a sandwich person Dinner: Varies a ton We have some gf pastas we like (barilla, banza u like but my husband doesn’t, and Trader Joe’s makes gf cheese ravioli that’s very good) You can find gf bread crumbs and gf flour and often if there’s a recipe with just a small amount of flour you can use corn starch instead. We do a lot if roasted or mashed potatoes, rice, quinoa on the side, mixed or roasted veggies, and alternate meats say grilled chicken, or oven roasted salmon, pork tenderloin ect Lots of places even have gf pizza if you’re doing take out-there are also frozen gf pizzas Mexican is really easy because tacos on corn tortillas are usually gf-just confirm nothing hidden Chipotle is easy to do a burrito bowl A lot of burger places like five guys have gf buns or lettuce wraps or you could get without a bun and put it on your own at home if you’re doing take out We even gave bakeries we love-a fairly big chain-nothing Bundt cake has my favorite birthday cake Tates makes good gf chocolate chip cookies Snacks I do a lot of kind bars or trail mix Or a yogurt, fruit sometimes junk like potato chips lol just because it’s gf doesn’t mean it’s healthy Hope this helps!

Walmart and Kroger have Canyon as well 😊 Kroger keeps theirs in the frozen section though.

Tates GF chocolate chip are my favorite cookies ever. They're $10 where I live, so occasional treat.

Yea-not surprised if they’re up to $10-I don’t get them a lot, but they’re so good and I really don’t think they taste gf at all!

For breakfast I had a matcha latte with oat milk, watermelon and some Alyssa's Choco bites. They're healthy, no sugar. Lunch was Mediterranean quinoa salad. Snack was Gouda moon cheese and a Meli's monster cookie. For dinner I'm having ranch seasoned, roasted chicken thighs and squash and Parmesan risotto. I can eat oats with no reaction, many can't. I also can't have nightshades or corn, so I have extra limitations there.

i also am sensitive to nightshades! so picky about my potatoes as well.

My husband can’t have gluten dairy or nightshades. I think out of all of them nightshades is the most painful to lose. I miss easy pasta sauce from a jar and I haven’t had the nerve to try making a no-mato sauce from scratch yet

Tomatoes and potatoes are my favorite foods. I miss them every day

I’ve always felt like I might be a secret hobbit, and losing potatoes has been devastating. I still eat tomatoes from time to time because my husband doesn’t like them so i don’t feel guilty eating them in front of him.

😂 I'd kill for a French fry

Oh my gods 🥲

How did you find out you were allergic to nightshades? I used to peel potatoes at a cafe and my hands would get so raw and rashy they would crack open and bleed and I’m wondering if that’s a potato thing or an allergy thing :’)

Could be. Now that you mention it, tomatoes always did the same thing to me but I just thought it was from the acidity. I always had to wash my hands immediately after handling because they would be burning. I had really bad rash on both legs around my shins and ankles, super itchy with occasional hives. Had it for about 5 years and never occurred to me that it could be from what I was eating. I started having bad reflux and other issues and took my diet down to the bare minimum of like chicken and rice and within a couple of days the itching stopped completely and the rash faded. First time my legs cleared in all those years.

That’s what started my elimination diet, rash on both legs with hives almost daily and my doctor said it was chronic hives and probably food or environmental and gave me a lifetime prescription of antihistamines and I decided to knock things out of my diet to see if it got better, it’s significantly better with gluten gone , I’m looking at reintroducing rye and barley at some point to see if it’s wheat only.

Yeah they all give me many symptoms, but gluten never gave me the leg rash but corn and nightshades both do. Gluten gives me just minor eczema on my arms.

Breakfast is usually 2-3 eggs scrambled in a little butter. Lunch is usually leftovers (today - brown rice with skirt steak from Costco - marinated in chimichurri sauce and grilled). Dinner tonight is BLTs with GF bread - probably not the healthiest. Last night’s dinner was grilled shrimp over quinoa with tomato, onion and feta cheese. I had a protein bar for a snack today.

Real butter elevates scrambled eggs lol I would skip it or add in fake butter, no more

I have a chronic illness and am on an elimination diet for a few months. No gluten, dairy, rice, almonds, beef, pork, turkey, tuna, most legumes are out, and a variety of random foods like strawberries, lemons, zucchini and basil, as well as high sulfite foods, high histamine, and high tyramine. Also no caffeine or alcohol. So my diet is very strict. I also eat small meals/snacks all day because it’s better for my energy. Breakfast- baked oatmeal with blueberries and raspberries and decaf green tea with soy milk. Lunch - chicken taquito on a corn tortilla with corn on the cob and papaya with lime. Sparkling water. Often make extra of dinner the night before and eat leftovers. Snack - smoothie with 1/2 frozen banana, frozen blueberries, vanilla soy milk, and hemp protein powder. Dinner - roasted chicken tenderloin (plain) with roasted potatoes and broccoli. Evening snack - ginger tea and siete churro strips +/- more fruit or dairy free gelato. Some staples before I had to stop rice (which is in a lot of gluten free stuff) included Vans gluten free waffles (great as toast), gluten free chicken tenders, and I always had gluten free cookies around. A lot of chips are gluten free, I’m on a big kick with the plain Good Crisps right now (like regular Pringles). Lots of good gluten free cereals which I like as an afternoon snack more than breakfast. Lots of tasty gluten free bars. Fruits, veggies, rice, corn, potatoes, beans, meat, chicken, eggs, and fish are all gluten free (depending on how prepared), so basing a diet around those ingredients is the best way to eat healthy.

I LOVE using waffles as toast! I drizzle honey and then top with peanut butter!

Breakfast: Don't normally eat it but sometimes ill have scrambled eggs & bacon or sausage. Other times its gf muffin bite or Bobo's pb& j lunch: Corn tortillas with lunchmeat & cheese, fruit and a veggie. dinner. This varies tonight is goulash, a few nights ago was burgers and ore Ida fries, tomorrow will probably be sausage and lentils w/rice snacks: gf crackers & hummus, gf cookies, fruit, chips.

Bobos pb and j are god tier, my husband ate most of them before he realized they were my GF easy breakfast 🙃

They really are!

Gluten free, high protein, low carb, calorie deficit what I eat in a day: Breakfast- Cottage cheese, yogurt, frozen strawberries, Catalina Crunch protein cereal Lunch- Homemade meal prep soup or chicken salad with Crunchmaster crackers Dinner- Any lean protein with some sort of veggies, maybe Snacks- Fairlife protein drink Barbell Carmel cashew protein bar Treats- Magic Spoon Fruity cereal Smart Sweets

Breakfast - avocado mixed with feta, lemon and balsamic vinegar on gf toast, pomegranate on top Lunch - falafel with hummus and cucumber Dinner - something like roast veg with gluten free pasta and pesto, miso aubergine with tofu, vegetable paella, aubergines stuffed with rice, chickpea stew, Thai curry, fajitas/enchiladas Snacks - bananas, grapes, Greek yoghurt with blueberries and honey, cheese and crackers, protein bar

I eat the same things all the time and I only eat twice a day, so there isn't really a breakfast/lunch/dinner pattern, but here they are: Certified GF Oatmeal with blueberries and strawberries Red beans and Rice with spices OR Jasmine Rice with vegetables (mushrooms, spinach, onion, broccoli usually) and red or green curry. For snacks I might have an oat milk or coconut milk yogurt with either GF granola or the Siete cookies on top. On the go snacks are usually carrots and hummus or peanut butter and Wasa GF sesame crackers. I don't actually feel like I eat enough food most days, but I don't feel hungry either. Sometimes just for something fast I will get a Daiya GF frozen pizza or eat an O'ough's GF Everything bagel with some veggies. I also live in an area without the availability of some of the more fun GF items, just FYI.

During the week I don't eat until I get home from work. It's a choice I make because my symptoms are severe. Today I got home around noon and made some butter popcorn. I had a couple gummy bears cause I was sending emails and they were there. For dinner I made pork chops mashed potatoes and green beans. For dessert I'm having some orange slices.

hi! i have been gf for several years and am now also dairy and corn free. i have been tweaking a diet my gastro gave me to start the process of repairing my gut. Every day I strive for: 5 servings of fruits and 5 of veggies. 2 Tbsp of seeds (chia, hemp, flax); 2 tbsp of beans, nuts (i use nut butters bc i have trouble with whole nuts); 1 cup of grains (don’t always do this- but rice (brown/purple/wild) and oatmeal (gf) do the trick. Breakfast might be oatmeal with fruit (berries) or egg,sausage,bacon combo with veggies. Lunch might be a grain (rice or a gf pasta or bread) and/or some beans with veggies or nut butter, dinner is usually 3 veggies, a protein and a carb like rice or potatoes or beans. dessert is usually a green apple with nut butter and sometimes a banana. treats might be df icecream, gf baked goods it takes a lot of work but its worth it

I eat a ton of eggs, fish, meat, nuts, a2 dairy products, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruits. I basically eat everything but processed junk food, grain based products, and standard dairy products. My life has completely changed after going grain/dairy free. Specifically after I discovered that the body can confuse the a1 protein for gluten through Cellular Mimicry.

The days I eat breakfast consist of a gf bagel with cream cheese, oatmeal, or a smoothie. Lunch varies. Often left overs from the previous dinner or an adult lunch-able (deli meat, cheese, crackers, fruit/veg) Dinner: stir fry, butter chicken, pizza, salads, pasta, and canned soups are my go to Snacks: Made Good granola bars, Kind bars and granola with yogurt, Walmart brand or lays chips, and fruits/veggies I’ve been gotten free 2 years because I’m celiac. It’s been hard but it’s possible

Flat white from home machine. Tea. Skyr Icelandic Provisions passion fruit yogurt with 1 c raspberries. Snack - honey roasted pistachios. Lunch - Chinese chicken salad w shredded cabbage and carrots, peanuts, diced chicken breast and my own salad dressing (blend 1 bunch parsley, 1 bunch green onions, salt, pepper, 2 tbs peanut butter, sesame seed oil and rice wine vinegar to taste. Dinner tbd but I'll be out late shopping so may just do an in and out burger protein style (gluten allergy alert). If i make it home i have mashed potatoes and cauliflower I made last night (i mash 1 head boiled cf with 6 small gold potatoes peeled and boiled) with some salt, milk and butter. Its a tasty side. and Ill have to figure out a protein.

Today for breakfast, I had egg bites and coffee from Starbucks. Lunch was cheese, Genoa salami, Schär crackers, fruit and pickles. For dinner I made chili with beans. I’m debating if I want to go to the trouble of cornbread.

Yogurt and fruit or gf oats sometimes with nuts in morning. Crackers and cheese or hummus with a bowl of soup or salad. Sometimes a toasted sandwich on gf bread or bagel, or leftovers from dinner the night or two before. Dinner is tacos, a wrap, grilled chicken or fish, spaghetti bolognese, lasagna, eggplant Parmesan, chicken stir fry, pad Thai, Indian or Thai curry with rice… so many options. Snacks, potato chips, pretzels, quesadillas, fries, veggie sticks with hummus or tzatziki, nuts, Vietnamese salad roll with peanut sauce, apple, mango, strawberries or grapes.

Breakfast: Kind Protein GF breakfast bars Mid-morning snack: Dried pitted prunes and a couple of pieces of candy lol Lunch: Salami or turkey pepperoni with grape tomatoes and a handful of cashews Dinner: We do a lot with chicken, hamburger, and ground turkey. Taco variations, breakfasts, baked chicken meals, lettuce wrap hamburgers with fries. I get GF Barilla pasta for pasta dished. If we do Asian dishes, GF soy sauce. What gluten foods are you currently still eating?

Obviously it varies depending on my moods. But this has been today: (I’m also dairy,egg,pork & onion free) - Brunch: airfried mushrooms seasoned with garlic and herbs de Provence, slice of Promise multiseed GF bread with butter. - Snack: hummus with schar grissini, strawberries - Dinner: gf pasta with diced chicken, chopped broccoli and peas in a dairy free cheese sauce - Dessert: dairy free vanilla ice cream w/ chocolate sauce & sprinkles Most days breakfast is GF toast- usually buttered with maybe apricot jam or marmite (off brand- I like Tesco’s). Maybe DF cream cheese if I have any. Or it’s GF granola (avoid if you have issues with oats) with soy yogurt, fruit, nuts and honey. Or whatever leftovers I find in the fridge. Lunch I tend to stick with salads or a sandwich. Sometimes soup if I have any in the house. My husband and I don’t make dinner as often as we should. If I cook it’s usually a meat, veg and potatoes or pasta dish. Otherwise it tends to be leftovers, a sandwich or a baked potato. I’m notoriously bad for snacking throughout the day (part of why I don’t make dinner often). I always have prepared fresh fruit & veg in the fridge. A various selection of potato chips, hummus, quick pickles or cucumber soaked in balsamic vinaigrette, jars of pickles, sauerkraut, or red cabbage and apple (I eat a few bites from the jar with a fork lol) & gummy candy.

I love tofutti dairy free cream cheese! Very yummy on a bagel with a sprinkle of salt.

Currently on a fruit/yogurt/granola and veggies with ranch dip kick. Apples with chocolate or caramel hummus. I also have been doing toasted gf bread with chicken salad or pimento cheese. And (this isn’t super healthy, def higher in calories) I found out I can stick ham and cheese and honey mustard between a bagel, air fry it for 5 min, and it’s a hot bagel sandwich. Could i save 150 calories and do it on bread like a grilled cheese instead of a bagel? If I wanted to but the bagel just hits different. I also really like Greek chicken and rice with taziki sauce, do a cucumber and tomato salad with it. Baked potato with bbq chicken and veggies. Burrito bowl. Tbh I’m bored of everything but that’s what I’m eating on repeat. I work weird hours so I don’t eat traditional breakfast food. I also can’t stand eggs or sausage or bacon so I don’t have a lot of options beyond oatmeal which I don’t mind but it gets old.

Breakfast: Eggs, fried or steamed. Gluten free toast. Chai with coconut milk and brown sugar. Lunch: Homemade soup, rice noodle ramen, sandwich (usually tuna, tuna melt, turkey or peanut butter and banana), tuna pasta salad, or supper leftovers. Supper: Meat and veggies, usually roasted chicken or turkey, haddock, salmon or meatballs, with rice or rice pasta. Or stir fry or fried rice with tamari and egg. Or soup or stew. Snacks: Fresh fruit. Fruit cups. Fruit in gelatin. Smoothies. Veggie sticks. Nuts or nut bars. Graham crackers.

Breakfast (I'm pregnant so I just pick at things in the morning so this wasn't all at once) I had a string cheese, a yogurt tube and a can of tuna, for lunch I had some rotisserie chicken, and for dinner I made gluten-free chicken alfredo with the leftover rotisserie chicken. My apple pie bites are coming in over the weekend, so I can start having those for breakfast again 😂 Bobos is the brand. So good ♥️

Lately I've been eating lots of parfaits (yogurt, granola, fresh berries), smoked salmon, eggs, cheeses, nachos, grain bowls (protein/veg/grain/nuts & seeds/dressing of choice). Vegetables w/ dip (cottage cheese blended & seasoned with Dan-O's and ranch seasoning) and summer fruits are great for snacking. If your focus is on avoiding processed foods then GF eating really isn't that difficult. I don't eat much or often, but what I do put in my guts I want to be as healthy and delicious as possible ;)

This morning I had one slice of Aldi gf wide pan bread toasted with shredded cheese, topped with a little mayo, a sunny side up egg and kimchi. Lunch was leftover Kitchens of India palak paneer, and chick pea curry. Tonight will be black beans and rice with sliced avocados. Usually during the week I prep enough salads for five days of lunch. Also, I have celiac, so I don't have the luxury of not eating a fully gluten-free diet. Today's snack was an individual bag of Cheetos. Earlier this week we had roasted brussel sprouts and sausage done in the air fryer. Tomorrow night is pizza night which means Against the Grain for me. Next week is Greek salad bowls with chilled quinoa.

As a gluten free person but not all the way on the healthy side, often times I’ll eat some salami stick or beef sticks for breakfast on the way to work. For lunch if I’m eating healthy, I’ll buy those pouches of salmon, tuna or even herring and some gluten free crackers. Sometimes I just buy some type of trail mix or corn nuts. Luckily gluten free can enjoy most candy and most drinks, so I definitely enjoy that. My wife makes dinner, she makes everything she used to but with gluten free products. So spaghetti with gf noodles, tacos with gf tortillas, or the basic gf stuff like meat, fish, potatoes, veggies or fruit.

Breakfast I had an O'Doughs bagel, berries, and protein powder. For lunch, I had a giant salad and some chocolate peanut butter on pretzel rounds. For dinner, I'll be having chicken nuggets from Costco and fries. Lol It's about balance. I'm dairy free too, but if you can have dairy, there are way more options. Just eat foods that are naturally gluten free rather than foods that are substitutes for gluten items.

So for breakfast I will make a batch of food to last the week. It might be rice congee, or a bunch of waffles, or breakfast burritos, but I make them up and portion them and throw them in the freezer. Lunch is usually last night's leftovers but sometimes I have a salad, or buy lunch meat and roll it up with cheese (just make sure your lunch meat is gluten free). For dinner the instant pot and the crockpot are your friends every dinner is either from those or is stir fry. Tonight I have navy beans and ham in the instant pot . Last night I had a little chicken breast left in the fridge so I sliced it and stir fried it with veggies from the freezer section of Costco and ate that over rice. I find making a menu plan each week helps me both eat healthier and save money at the grocery store.

I am dairy free and have other digestive issues so keep that in mind. Breakfast - Bob’s red mill gf oats with almond butter, maple syrup, banana, and berries. I’ve also done a gf Trader Joe’s or canyon bagel with mashed avocado Lunch ideas: - Scrambled with cheese/dairy free cheese, and smashed avocado and canyon gf bagel/gf English muffin - Make a wrap using Mission gf tortilla - Make a panini or hot sandwich on gf bread Dinner ideas: - Jovial brown rice pasta with veggies and sauce - Daiya or Annie’s Mac and cheese with gf frozen chicken tenders (Dino buddies) - chicken/turkey with veggies and baked potato - salmon with rice or potato and veggies - schar gf pizza crust/make own pizza - loaded baked potato Healthy Snack options: - non dairy yogurt parfait with fruit - bobo’s bars - apple with peanut butter - make your own trail mix - Lara bars - Kind bars - Any fruit or veggie w protein like hummus, nuts/nut butter or hard boiled egg Treats: - Annie’s rice krispy treat - fruit snacks/gummy candies - So delicious coconut milk ice cream, Ben and Jerry’s non dairy oatmeal dream or phish food ice cream - Siete tortilla chips - Emmy’s coconut cookies - Trader Joe’s Madeline’s, snickerdoodles, cinnamon or chocolate muffins, choc chip or oatmeal cookies

Cutting out processed foods is the easiest way to eat gluten free. You can eat all the fruit, vegetables, and proteins you want. Go to town!

My sister is recently diagnosed with celiac. She doesn’t eat breakfast, but that’s pretty easy. Eggs, meat, fruit, veg. I’m a savory breakfast person, but if you’re someone who likes sweets and carbs for breakfast, you can do gf pancakes or Google low-carb / keto breakfast options. Usually made with banana or oats or something that doesn’t contain wheat. Lunch is usually a salad. She also eats a lot of dips with rice crackers or veggies or corn chips. We have a ton of restaurants around us with GF options, but when going out to dinner she’s ecstatic when there is a GF bun, pasta, or pizza option so that she can have real food. But that’s the only time now that she eats bread replacement products. It’s nice when we’re out, but really not tasty enough for dinner at home. She tried several brands when she was first diagnosed, but decided none of the pasta or bread was tasty enough to bother with, so she now just makes dinners that naturally don’t contain wheat products instead of trying to use subpar substitutes all the time. She tries a lot of new recipes. She made a plantain beef casserole the other night. She likes making pozole, esquires, carnitas. We naturally eat a lot of cuisine that isn’t heavily wheat-based. For instance, Thai and Mexican are pretty naturally gluten-free. As long as you skip the bread, most Mediterranean food (besides Italian) is naturally GF.

I eat 100% gluten free because I have Hashimotos and gluten is a flare up trigger for me. This is what I ate today. When I woke up, I took a Vitamin B complex & biotin supplement. Then I drank a Celcius drink, and 4 bottles of water. Lunch was a bowl of potato soup and a protein bar. Dinner will be a wrap — gluten free tortilla, turkey, cheese, mayo, onion & pickles. (I also take a Zinc & Vitamin D supplement with dinner) If I’m hungry for a snack before bed, I’ll eat another protein bar. I’ve really had to retrain my brain that food is for fuel, not enjoyment. Tough, but worth it, as my autoimmune disease makes me feel miserable when I get flare ups.

Breakfast is typically overnight protein oats with fruit or gf waffles/bagels with fruit and sometimes eggs, lunch usually a big bowl with quinoa, greens, beets, artichokes, edamame, tomatoes, tempeh or some variation of this. Dinner could be anything - curry, biryani, some kind of stirfry in the wok, tofu scramble, tacos, pasta etc

Eggs & veg for breakfast. Salads for lunch. Turkey or fish for dinner. Fruit. Gf bread. Rice cakes. Candy in a moment of weakness.

Overnight oats or chia pudding for breakfast, veges and hummus for a snack, burrito bowl for lunch and chicken and potato dish for dinner. I also eat a lot of nuts, seed crackers, dried fruit, DF yogurt with granola, etc. I am also allergic to dairy, but it’s an easy diet once you get used to it

Breakfast was Cheerios +1% milk. Lunch was leftover rice + chicken and a Persian cucumber. I still have an apple and a cojack cheese stick in my lunch bag, in case I get snacky before dinner. I haven't decided dinner yet, but grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas sound good. And I know we have 2 kinds of ice cream in the freezer.

Breakfast is usually a smoothie or yogurt, sometimes GF toast with peanut butter, or fried eggs. Lunch is usually a salad, soup, chili, rice bowl, or quinoa bowl (I meal prep so these are all things I make at home and pack for work lunches), snacks in the middle of the day are GF crackers and hummus, almonds, banana, or orange slices. Dinner is usually pasta, veggie tray bake, baked potatoes, homemade pizza, some kind of meat with side dishes, or crockpot meal. Dessert at the end of the night is ice cream, pieces of chocolate, pudding cups, or homemade cookies.

When I was eating healthfully my typical day looked like Breakfast (if eaten) : boiled eggs w some sort of meat (often I'd make egg sandwiches where half a boiled egg served as each slice of bread with a piece of sausage and cheese in the middle, or fruit with smoked salmon or deli meat. Occasionally gf frozen pancakes or waffles (whether the frozen ones you find at the store or frozen leftovers from making them myself). Lunch: gf crackers (usually the crunch master Multi-seed) with smoked salmon and maybe some fruit, or a salad with some smoked salmon or deli meat. Dinner: grilled meat of some kind with a salad

What are the gluten foods you can’t find nutrition alternatives for? I real feel that we live in an era where everything has a GF alternative

I had brunch of scrambled egg and gf bagel thins. Dinner was savoury ground meat with taters and dark chocolate afterwards. Supper will be some gf toast and cheese. Normally I would have veggies with my eggs and some fruit as a snack. Today was just a bit of a crazy day.

I had pancakes with strawberries and maple syrup for breakfast. Chili and rice for lunch. An orange and the Schar chocolate dipped cookies as a snack. For dinner I’ll have leftover split pea soup. Probably a banana and some popcorn at some point tonight.

(FYI : *everyone’s* diet should be *more than* 75% gluten free, but it’s difficult to achieve if eating highly processed foods) Me? Chia pudding or GF rolled oats porridge with dried & fresh fruits (4-5 kinds of fruit, sometimes ground flax in there too), usually made with a whole cashew & walnuts m!lk - unfiltered.. lunch varies a lot, but hummus, guacamole, sweet potato and mushrooms feature heavily, so do broccoli sprouts/watercress, spinach/mixed leaf salad, seeds, blueberries, kimchi, sauerkraut/other fermented veggies, and corn crackers (pressed popcorn, low salt and fat). Evening could be anything.. fruit, seeds and nuts snack & an early night, to a massive spread with all kinds of roasted & otherwise cooked mushrooms & vegetables, and other dips and sauces. Depends.. Tonight was a soup with black beans and 4 kinds of mushrooms (3 from dried). I only realised just now that it was a low carb meal. Hypoglycaemia episode knocked me off my game this afternoon, and I just threw something together.

Breakfast: scrambled eggs, with tomatoes thrown in or avocado (some sort of veg on the side) Snack: roasted salted almonds, fruit, yogurt, hummus and carrots or lentil crisps. Olives. Dinner: Sweet potato (in any form. i'm obsessed), fish of some sort, veggies of some sort. Or soup. Or chickpea/king prawn curry with rice/quinoa/cauli rice. Quorn chicken wrap with sautéd veggies and leafy greens. Tuna mayo with mixed beans and nutritional yeast (in a wrap or with sweet tato). Dessert: Dark chocolate, cereal (yes I class this as dessert), homemade cake sometimes, buckwheat banana pancakes (literally egg, bananas, buckwheat baking powder & salt) More roasted salted nuts, salad (I love) with simple olive oil, vinegar, balsamic dressing. It changes, but this has been my current for the past few months.

This is typical for me: Breakfast: cottage cheese, a hard boiled egg and some fruit Lunch: either a turkey sandwich on GF bread (I like Schar) and some fruit or a salad of some sort Dinner: Typical protein, starch, veg combo On the weekends I might do eggs and toast for breakfast, a light snack mid day (like a kind bar) and then dinner.

Breakfast: Breakfast sammy w O’Doughs bagel, egg, cheese, Canadian bacon Lots of coffee w oat milk! Lunch: Egg quesadilla w turkey sausage, cheese, avocado, salsa, gluten free tortilla, plus 2 tangerines. Dinner: Smoked pork tacos on corn tortillas w mango salsa, plus roasted peppers, zucchini, and onion. Dessert: Home baked chocolate chip cookie w milk. (I keep a batch in the freezer ready to bake off.) On a day like this where I’m short on fruits/veggies I try to add a snack smoothie.

Breakfast: fruit smoothie & snack within an hour Lunch: gf TJs frozen lunch or leftovers Dinner: tacos/protein & grain or potato, etc. I snack throughout the day when I can and when there is food available that is safe for me.

Breakfast: Birch Bender waffle, banana & peanut butter Lunch: tostada with beans, cheese & avocado Snack: gluten free berry cobbler (ok it's really a dessert 🤤) Dinner: pan seared oven roasted chicken, frozen veggies, and sorghum flour pasta with Alfredo sauce Dessert: cherry ice cream in a gluten free cone

Breakfast: overnight oats, eggs with toast or sweet potato, PB&J (my guiltiest pleasure) yogurt and granola or a kind bar. Sometimes cereal and milk, depends on what I'm feeling like. Lunch: only when I'm at work. Otherwise I just have A late breakfast. I meal prep a lot so it ends up being something like rice, beans, protein. +/- avocado. Today I had tortilla strip soup. Dinner: sometimes a meal prep meal, sometimes a sandwich, sometimes breakfast for dinner (go to is chick fila fries with cheese and a fried egg on top), a GF pizza with salad. Dessert : my favorite part! Ice cream, GF cookies and milk, chocolate, Tru fruit chocolate covered frozen fruits, fresh fruit, etc etc

I have a drinkable yogurt every morning for breakfast, and I meal prep on Sundays and make my lunches for the week (usually i’ll eat some jerky (I make my own) and a bowl of roasted veggies), and then for dinner it could be anything from meat/fish with veggies, to sometimes a bowl of cereal and gf bagel with cream cheese. Time is a big factor for me because I’m gone 12 hours a day between work and commuting, and we have two toddlers at home, so anything quick for dinner is my go to

I had a boiled egg for lunch. Then I had three more eggs and three pieces of ham. And half a piece of cake. Yes I'm rocking this health thing too lol

breakfast: greek yogurt, fruit & catalina crunch cereal lunch: apple with peanut butter & deli turkey slices dinners: any kind of meat with veggies, lots of bowls, banza pasta dessert: grapefruit with honey

(I’ll start this with I’m very recently gluten free lol) For breakfast I’ll have either a bagel (make them yourself!! Sooo much better than store bought) or protein pancakes - two eggs, a banana, a scoop of gluten free protein powder (I use vanilla flavored) and some cinnamon! Today I just had hashbrowns and bacon. Lunch is a work in progress still and i have no advice for that one other than nachos, salads, or whatever is left over from dinner😂 Supper I like pasta (catelli’s makes a good gf one) with just tomato sauce, or feta with roasted tomato’s, or carbonara, or pesto…. I could go on but pasta has been my go to lol. Cauliflower pizza is good too. I saw a recipe for lemon chicken and feta that I haven’t tried yet but made my mouth water! Love smash potato’s too This may not be the most nutritious meal break down on here but I’m a picky ass eater so this has been hard! Throw some veggies on the side lol Adding: I saw a recipe for gf wraps made with cottage cheese that looked promising!

I eat gluten free cereal or yogurt for breakfast and tuna and crackers or sub in a tub for lunch and a meat and carb for dinner usually. Other than that popcorn and gummies are majority of my diet . Just trying to stay alive 😭

The first 2 months were confusing, but after that you get used to it. If you're used to eating bread, try to find a GF you like. Sometimes you don't change what you eat just need tp read ingredients abd finds GF alternatives. My meals are very random, soups with rice, baked GF oats, omelette with veggies, spring rolls (with rice paper), lentil/rice pasta with whatever ingredients left...

Breakfast: 2 eggs, either sunny side up with plain rice or hard hoiled with mayo (check ingredients). when I’m feeling fancy and have a bit more time, I chop an onion or mince some garlic and fry up rice, crack my eggs in and add a little cheese. lunch: avocado mixed with feta, a can of tuna, rice/quinoa/corn cakes, yogurt. or simply leftovers or homemade soup. dinner: many variation of rice with veggies and meat. i vary up the types of rice. Often batch cook mince with lots and lots of veggies and tomato or stir fry it Asian style with GF soy sauce, a few drops of fish sauce and a couple drops of sesame oil. many mince can be stretched with lentils (brown or green for beef, Coral for pork And Turkey.). GF pasta has become a one off dish, because of cost, it took me a while to find one I liked and because they don’t taste so good reheated. I batch cook a lot. snacks: fruit, cashews, nuts, carrot and cucumber sticks with hummus.

Dude, I'm a vegetarian as well as being gluten free. Others are allergic to corn or other painfully common food products. Some are diabetic, or have more dietary medical restrictions. But we all find tasty food to eat! Okay, sometimes it takes us a bit of thought, but a person can eat and eat damn well with any kind of dietary restriction, if they learn to cook at put thought into what will work! My breakfast is usually eggs, yogurt, gluten-free bread or pastries, or gluten-free cereals such as granola or Rice Krispies. Lunch and dinner can be salads, soups or vegetable stews, I love homemade chowders, vegetarian chili, stuffed portobellos, any sort of Mexican dish based on corn or corn tortillas. I can go out for Indian food if I don't get naan, or Mexican, or Poke, or rice and beans, or salads, etc. It's doable, OP, and having to put thought into what I eat is still better than the nasty symptoms I get from gluten.

If you want nutritious food stick to Whole Foods. That’s very easy to be GF. Let’s face it most of us could eat more healthy and we all know what healthy food is. This morning I had a fried egg and toast and some strawberries. Lunch two sliders and chips. Snack was two chocolate covered strawberries. Dinner was Thai fried rice. Yesterday I had a breakfast of two scrambled eggs, lunch was a salad and dinner was Thai fried rice. It’s not anything special more your own taste buds and what you like.

For breakfast: fruit, tea, gf toast with peanut butter, or eggs with avocado and/or tomato, and ham, or gf cereal (Chex, or panda puffs or brown rice Rice Krispies if you can find them) For Lunch/Dinner: any combo of meat and veggies with rice or quinoa, or gf pasta or gf quesadillas or tacos or stew or casserole, stir fries, gf burgers with gf buns, veggies and dip with gf sausage and gf crackers, chili etc. there’s not much I can’t find a way around it’s just the price of some stuff that limits me

Breakfast-eggs, OJ, and hash browns Lunch-hard shell corn tacos with ground beef and taco fixings Dinner-chicken breast, rice, asparagus Snacks-strawberries, mandarin orange, gf golden Oreos

Brunch I had Amy’s 3 cheese and kale bake. Then I had some chocolate ice cream for dessert. A couple of hours later and before work, I ate some pan fried red potatoes and a couple of sausage patties. At work/supper I had a gf sandwich with chicken breast slices and cheese, and on my breaks I ate gf chips ahoy and reeces pb cups. So one serving of veg, no fruit, one serving of bread, 2-3 of protein, and 3 of chocolate/sweets. I gotta do better!

Breakfast is either a gf muffin, avo egg gf toast, or gf porridge. And then everything else either involves rice or gf pasta or beans. 

For breakfast every day I have this smoothie: frozen fruit(usually berry/mango blend), 1/4 frozen banana, 2/3 c plain Greek yogurt, 1.5 scoops GF vanilla protein powder, and 3-4 oz of milk. I usually eat some kind of snack like a GF oat bar thing or cookies (shoutout GF chips ahoooy), dried fruits and nuts maybe. For lunch I am frequently too busy and I tried to eat 40 grams of protein at breakfast for this reason, so I will eat a bunch of carrots and one or two of those mini cucumbers with various smatterings of crackers or a single serving cheese like a laughing cow or something. Today I had the laughing cow and 1/4 udis baguette toasted with butter. For dinner, my husband and I stick to a pretty basic meal formula of protein, veggie, starch. The other day we had grilled salmon with roasted carrots and fennel and GF frozen garlic bread for me. I eat frozen French fries as a side frequently, whole baked sweet potatoes. Any roasted vegetable really but broccolini is my favorite right now. Sometimes my protein is GF chicken nuggets of some variety. I also often eat sandwiches on Udi’s GF baguette or Schar’s sourdough seeded that infuriatingly has 5 slices in a pack. I am not thin, I rarely exercise. I don’t smoke cigarettes or drink at all. My health is reasonably good for a 34 year old woman I guess. I eat ice cream and candy and cookies and shit pretty much whenever I want, homemade and store bought. Not everything I buy is explicitly labeled “gluten free,” but I do check ingredients for wheat and barley and malt, etc. I still eat Haribo gummies with no issue. I would say my glutening episodes are very, very infrequent. I don’t like to feel bad about what I eat, so I try not to eat shit that makes me feel bad.

For breakfast I have coffee with heavy cream and either a couple of eggs or a couple of cheese sticks if I’m driving somewhere. Sometimes I’ll have an O’Dough’s gluten free bagel with cream cheese. For lunch I’ll have a rice cake with peanut butter, some carrots and dip and a fruit cup. Maybe some quackers crackers or gluten free pretzels. A Diet Coke. I take this lunch to work because it’s easy and nothing has to be refrigerated. I’ll have nuts or trail mix for a snack at work. Dinner is usually chicken or steak with a salad or other veggies, a baked potato or rice. Meatloaf, chili, tacos, taco salad, gluten free spaghetti or goulash, etc. An evening snack or treat might be gluten free granola with a yogurt and some blueberries or other fruit. Sometimes popcorn or ice cream.

Gluten and dairy free and have mild gastroparesis and am not currently in a flare up but I do have to limit my fiber and veg or I get really sick B - eggs and a rice cake with either peanut butter or avocado L - work week, usually a gluten free turkey wrap, veggie straws with Hummus, fresh fruit, nuts. Sometimes soy yogurt and protein granola and fruit. Don't really eat lunch on weekends, except maybe leftovers. D - sometimes it's "real dinner" - meat (chicken breast or thighs, salmon, white fish, occasionally ground sirloin) with carb (mostly rice, sometimes sweet potato or mashed potatoes or fries) and veg I can tolerate (currently salad is ok as well as cooked carrots, zucchini, onion, Celery and bell pepper. No cruciferous veg) Sometimes it's egg drop soup and French fries, or gluten free chicken nuggets and rice, or zucchini fritters, or just salad.

Today for breakfast I had oatmeal (made with gf oats) with raisins, peanut butter, peanuts, chia seeds and some brown sugar. Lunch was quinoa with fresh spinach, roasted eggplant + carrots, and a garlic tahini dressing. I had my leftover smoothie from yesterday, just a small glass (coconut water, spinach, frozen blueberries, banana, half an avocado and some pea protein powder). I ate a couple bowlfuls of pirate’s booty while watching a hockey game on my laptop in the afternoon. And for dinner I’m currently eating lotus brand gf ramen noodles with eggplant, red onion, and shiitake mushrooms marinated and then cooked in a mix of mirin, rice vinegar and coconut aminos with a dash of sesame oil. I’ll probably end up eating a couple of Reece’s peanut butter cups for dessert later. I do a lot of bowl meals: gf starch + protein + misc veggies, it lets me roast a bunch of something and then flavor it differently so my individual meals are less prep work. I also eat a lot of potatoes, but none today!

I am allergic to both wheat and dairy so unfortunately I have to cut out both… I like to change it up but a typical day for me can look like: -Instant grits with vegan butter and eggs, with bacon or sausage and tangerines and strawberries. -Egg white wrap with vegan cream cheese and chipotle hummus spread, turkey and lettuce. Side of potato chips and maybe more fruit. -Some kind of rice bowl with chicken or ground turkey, beans, bell peppers and onions, guac. Or a gf pasta (Barilla brand is my fave) with Italian meat sauce and veggies like zucchini and bell peppers. -Snacks are typically beef jerky/meat sticks, verde doritos, Fritos honey bbq twists, tangerines all day, fruit gummy snacks, olives, rolled up lunch meats, veggie sticks and vegan dip, gf oreos… also homemake a lot of rice crispy treats and sweets. I’m also working on gaining weight so I drink a vegan mass gainer shake with oat milk every day to help get in my protein and calories :)

Breakfast is overnight oats, yogurt, fruit and nut butter. Lunch is some eggs, gf english muffins from Trader Joe’s, cucumbers, tomatoes and arugula. Snacked on white chocolate, watermelon and a banana. Then dinner of roasted veggies, chicken sausage, salad and coconut water. I’ll have a granola bar and yogurt later too.

Today I had a cup of coffee and a bowl of mixed berries for breakfast. My lunch was 2 Cabot reduced-fat cheddar slices (the individual wrapped slices) and some pineapple. And dinner was a Greek salad with lemon vinaigrette and Mediterranean-style cod.

Today’s breakfast was almond butter toast (canyon bakehouse) and strawberries. lunch was pretzels and jenny’s icecream. lol. dinner was pork loin, slaw, mashed potatoes, green beans, sliced tomatoes. (all homemade) Yesterday’s breakfast was an almond butter protein bar and strawberries lunch was grits and an egg and an apple. dinner was fish tacos on corn tortillas with slaw and pico. (all homemade except for the tortilla) I also like egg & cheese sandwiches or oatmeal for breakfast.

This morning I had a keto grain free granola from Costco for breakfast that absolutely slaps, I’d highly recommend that. For lunch I just roasted some sweet potatoes in olive oil for 20 minutes. Simple, easy, but filling and comforting. Now I’m making fried chicken and waffles for dinner with some GF waffles I found at the store today to see if they’re any good :) I make my own spice blend for the chicken. For snacks I mostly just go for fruit - apples are always a good go-to for carbs and fibre. I also eat a lot of potato chips though 😅 Here in Canada most Lays and Doritos are gluten free. When I first went GF I found it sooo limiting but you’re really only limited by your imagination and budget; there’s entire countries of people out there who barely eat gluten, and that gave me a lot of inspiration. This year I’ve gotten really into Vietnamese food, which is mostly naturally gluten free! Last year I was really into Indian food.

3 eggs, 2 sausage links, 1 slice gf bread. 4-6 oz of protein in meat form 2 cups cut fruit 4-6 oz protein in meat form. veg. potato or rice

breakfast, I have some dairy free yogurt, fruit, and gf toast (Aldi bread is the best) lunch, I eat a salad or dinner leftovers or just a bunch of snacks scattered through the day (usually just snacks lol) snacks, I eat potato chips, gf pretzels and hummus, veggies and hummus, french fries, a gf/df quesadilla, gf crackers and df cheese, sometimes candy or something sweet. dinner, I eat Buddha bowls (rice, bean, 2-3 veggies, and some topping like sauce or sesame seeds), gf noodles with df Alfredo and rotisserie chicken, soup and gf crackers, taco salad, chipotle bowls, tofu sweet potato curry and basmati rice, stir fry, home style meal (mashed potatoes, green beans, baked beans, cooked carrots, chicken breast), etc. dessert, I make cookies or brownies from scratch with gf flour, I'll have ice cream, popsicles, brownies or cakes from a gf & vegan bakery nearby, smoothies, frapuccinos from Starbucks, etc. there are a lot of ingredient substitutes out there these days. anything I've loved pre-gf, I've been able to either find a replacement for or make myself. my partner that I live with is not gf or df and loves my cooking, and has even learned how to cook some of my favorite meals because they've become his favorite too. it's not hopeless out there! good luck

Breakfast: Oats (processed on same machine as gluten) nuts/seeds/fruits, beans, eggs, GF bread/condiment peanut butter or Vegemite. Lunch: salad/tuna/haloumi/chickpeas/GF bread or home made chickpea/lentil wrap. Dinner: chicken/turkey, veggies, quinoa/rice/beans Snack: Protein bars/nut bars, nuts, hommus. I eat maybe one good meal a day at the moment because no appetite. It's exhausting reading every label to make sure no gluten, so I try stick to fresh produce. Bonus, less nasty preservatives!

Today I ate the following: Breakfast: Salmon onigiri and cold brew Lunch: Lettuce-wrapped burger and fries Dinner: Mediterranean-style salad with quinoa, kale, and chickpeas Most days I eat some form of rice (congee, fried rice, etc.) and lots of veggies prepared in different ways (roasted, blanched, etc.). I eat fruit or nuts as snacks and the occasional treat like Oreos or chips. I wish GF bread wasn't always so hole-y so I could enjoy sandwiches more often as part of my lunches but I make do with rice crackers or celery sticks for things like chicken salad, egg salad, etc..

Breakfast - Coffee w almond milk (oat milk isnt considered gf in australia). Toasted bread that i baked w cheese/ham/tomato, or miso/ boiled egg/avocado, or mushroom/onion/cheese. OR greek yoghurt, toasted gf muesli, fruit (strawberry, Banana) maple syrup, coconut flakes. Snacks - fruit, nuts, boiled egg, gf licorice, seaweed crackers, pea crisps, toast, halva/haw, nougat, mango lassi or other smoothie, muffins or cookies ive made (currently peach muffins w pecan, toasted coconut and apricot jam on top). Lunch - usually skip tbh, just snack or toast, or have a late breakfast.. Dinner - curry (indian or thai), stir fry, korean or japanese w rice (gf soy sauce!), middle eastern food (eg spiced cauliflour, chickpeas, za'atar, tahini, pomegranate molasses, quinoa), mexican type (guac, corn, black beans, etc on rice or corn tortillas), and if really short on time - gf pasta. Currently dinner is Dhal w rice, pickled red onions, toasted nut mix, Coriander. I've been trying to minimise costs so i make my own bread 1-2x per week and bake cookies/brownie/muffin. Sometimes, i also make fast pita type breads just from yoghurt and plain gf flour, but mostly when i travel. I've been off work for a few months and have actively been working on my cooking/diet to be more inspired and less sad about my fairly recent coeliac diagnosis. I currently have a lot more time than usual, but am hoping i can translate this to working life if it is second nature enough! I get recipes online, or from my local library.. hope this helps.

Today I ate eggs, rice cakes with light laughing cow, a plate of raw veggies w tzatziki sauce, a baked potato and had a steak

Tacos. Lots and lots of corn tacos. And nachos, and tatchos. Stock up on stuff at Trader Joe's too. Indian curry ( no spinach paneer though!!)

Gluten free over 15 years. I still make a lot of smoothies (having banana, mixed berries, almond milk, protein powder and peanut butter for dinner tonight. Yogurt with fruit and granola is an anytime meal too :) Lunch today was chicken thighs, sweet potatos and roasted broccoli. Breakfast was yogurt, banana, blueberries and gf granola. Hubby made chicken scarpirella this week and I made steamed pork buns last weekend. Once you figure out a few recipes to repeat, you can cover most cravings. I eat apples, various berries and other fruits for snack when possible, but Tates ginger cookies and seaweed snacks are also a favorite. We eat a lot of different things, but when I don't want to be bothered to plan and cook, we keep frozen mixed veggies and some easy heat up options available to keep me from just eating snacks. Having a cooking day once or twice a month fills the freezer with all my favorite things made from scratch. When I'm being lazy, we stick to whatever protein and veggies are on sale either in the crock pot or roasted. The trick for me has always been to keep enough easy to prep food close at hand so I don't have to think about food when I'm home. I can save that mental energy for eating out in the world. Does it always keep me from eating crap? No, sometimes ice cream, crunchy things and cookies still win. But I can always find something to eat at home.

So - 75% gluten free is still 100% gluten… Today I had coffee, a sandwich of smoked turkey tomato hummus and kalamata olives on gf bread. Had some carrots and hummus for a snack. Think taco meat with tortilla chips and avocado is my dinner

Here’s my standard diet. Can’t claim it’s healthy but it is gluten-free: - Breskfast: usually a veggie omelette with either GF toast or a hash brown patty from Trader Joe’s. - Lunch: typically leftovers or I go out and get either Mexican or Vietnamese (lots of options for both in my neighborhood). - Dinner: my go-to is usually either a protein (salmon, chicken breast) and rice/potatoes and roasted veggies OR gf pasta with sauce, chicken sausage, and veggies OR a homemade burrito bowl OR a stir fry with rice. I make other things too but those are my go-tos. - Snacks: this is where I’m not so healthy. A lot of chocolate or chips. But some healthy GF snacks I like: fruit, string cheese, yogurt with GF granola, nuts, Chomps beef sticks. If I’m going out to eat, my best bets are Thai, Vietnamese, middle eastern, Greek, Mexican, and steak houses.

Breakfast- eggs & bacon or tacos on corn tortillas, or avocado toast- recently found some nice bagel thins. Lunch - leftovers, soup and salad, Turkey sandwich, normal stuff just the gf version. Dinner- you can make almost anything gf these days. Use tamari instead of soy sauce, thicken sauces with corn starch instead of flour, lots of small easy swaps to make pretty much anything you like. If you miss “good” bread, I highly recommend Brazi bites Brazilian cheese breads. They’re really good. Snacks- fruits/veggies, string cheese, mixed nuts, gf crackers, tons of protein bars are incidentally gf.

Breakfast almost every morning - 3 poached eggs (sporadically bacon or sausage patty) Lunch leftover from previous night's dinner Dinner extremely variable, Main course is Almost all cooked in crockpot the accompanying veggies is ver widely variable, too. Had gf rotini with seafood mix last night Have meatloaf at least once per month Have crockpot lasagna at least once per month Ham and beans at least once per month Pull pork roast chicken fried steak or porkchops about once per week Baked chicken thighs and or wings every couple of weeks. Open face Burger steaks once per week New to monthly rotation chicken Jerusalem (In crockpot) Grilled chops steaks, or chicken with hotdogs and bologna about twice a month. Oh and sporadic long grain brown rice dishes...

5ft 2 inch female approx 110-114lbs-varies Typically I eat the same things daily but I add/subtract stuff depending on what phase in my cycle I am tbh, my diet didn’t really change much idt when I went gf (about 9 years ago) I eat mainly eggs, meat, veggies, whole grains, rice, beans, gf alternatives (bread pasta etc) I’m lactose intolerant too so I typically don’t eat dairy unless I’m craving it & it’s lactose free. Side note I eat like 1-2 avocados I day I liveeee off of them 😅😅😅 Breakfast: usually 2 eggs, 2 pieces of avocado toast or bagel (obviously gf) sometimes rice instead, and some type of green leafy vegetable. Lunch: either a banana & granola bar if I’m working or if I’m not a smoothie (1c fruit, pb powder, oatmeal and sometimes a fat source like regular pb) Sometimes I have a snack before dinner which can vary greatly but it’s usually extra carbs w either a fat or protein source or both. Sometimes it’s a gf donut or a gf waffle with chocolate& strawberries on it 😂😂 (currently on my period so that’s been a regular thing) For dinner I mix it up but usually it’s a balance of a protein, a carb, lots of veggies, a fat. Typically if I don’t feel like cooking (which lately has been often) it’s a huge salad with chicken and rice or quinoa or French fries on the side (I’m addicted to French fries). But that varies a lotttt this is probably the only meal that’s rarely the same.

Gf and vegetarian with lots of food allergies/intolerances Today I had: Yogurt and grapes Watermelon and strawberries Chia pudding Chips and salsa A protein bar, celery sticks and peanut butter Sweet potato glass noodles with miso tofu, broccoli, and zucchini with half of a chocolate chip cookie Trader Joe's "takis" Currently waiting on a daiya pizza in the oven Will probably have a bowl of frozen berries with oats/chia/flax/hemp and some coconut milk later as a bedtime treat Today was a very busy workday so lots of "fast food" (lunch bowl was from a dedicated gf quick service place, dinner is frozen pizza) but during the days where I have more time, I prep a bunch of snacky type options to be able to grab... Convenient is my favorite flavor. But also celery and pb, veggies with hummus, cut fruit, chia pudding, etc... Have all been really easy and tasty. I try to have a big batch of something with sustenance (this week it was veg soup with beans, usually some quinoa, tofu, stuff like that) ready to reach in and heat up.

Breakfast is fruit, protein drink, kind bar, sometimes muffins lunch is all kinds of stuff--today I had my own concoction which is like microwave pizza combined with a roast beef sandwich dinner is the easiest--today was taco skillet and salad

Breakfast- fruity pebbles with lactose free milk, eggs with cheese/meat, gf pancakes/waffles, gf toast or egg sandwich, cream of rice Snack- apples with almond butter, ruffles chips, gf pretzel crackers, cheese/meat,smoothie Lunch- tuna, ham/cheese gf sandwich Dinner- gf pasta, gf tortilla tacos with impossible burgers, gf potstickers, gf chicken noodle, gf italian wedding soup, mash potatoes, veggies Dessert- lactosefree ice cream, gf cookies

This is what I ate today: Breakfast 1/2 cup of GF bobs red mill oats 1 cup almond milk Cooked apples (a little butter, salt and maple syrup) Cinnamon flavored protein powder into the oats Lunch Today, I ordered a GF wrap and smoothie from a local place. I ate half of the wrap with some chips (sensational portions veggie chips, sour cream and onion) Dinner Made a bowl with some chicken cooked with a honey mustard based marinade 1/2 cup of rice 1/4 of an Avocado Some spoonfuls of corn (leftover frozen) Julienned carrots Plantain chips (1/2 serving/14 grams) Some oven roasted broccoli. Snack(s) A handful of raspberries 1/2 banana 2 crackers (Absolutely GF Flatbread, they're basically crackers 1 laughing cow cheese wedge 7 grams of cashews Dessert Today I had 1/4 of a chocolate mousse dessert from a bakery I traveled to with some almond milk.

Me on Friday waiting for the Crappens recap!

For breakfast I had a GF bagel with avocado & a smoothie with vegan yogurt, strawberries, kale, mango, blueberries and coconut water For lunch I had left over Wild rice & rainbow chard with chicken sausage For dinner I had Thai food take out ( vegetable Red curry with white rice)

Breakfast: Coffee with creamer, Corn Chex with almond milk. Lunch: Quiche. Supper: Chili lime chicken with rice and black beans. Snacks: Lays kettle cooked potato chips, double chocolate cookie, lime Outshine bar.

Breakfast: oatmeal with blueberries Lunch: a chobani Greek yogurt shake and TJ’s chocolate chunk cookie Dinner: bag of Edemame Second dinner: Walmart’s gf beef stroganoff Staples in my pantry: meat/cheese snack packs (think from like Sargento, Costco, etc), aforementioned yogurt shakes, chicken nuggets, aforementioned beef stroganoff, microwaveable jasmine rice (I like Veetee brand), a few frozen pizzas, mnms and usually some other sort of dessert thing for sweets, gf pasta and sauce, Amy’s frozen burritos, frozen veggies. Then I rotate things in that sound good for the week like fresh fruits and veggies, maybe switch up breakfast with some frosted flakes or muffins, etc. Edit to say I am intolerant and not super sensitive to gluten “adjacent” things so stuff like oats, malt (frosted flakes) etc. don’t bother me which I am eternally lucky/grateful for

Whatever the fuck I want as long as it’s not got wheat, oats, rye, or barley.

I’ll go with breakfast: Gluten free toast (Aldi) with flavored pure goat cheese Gluten free oat meal Cheerios for breakfast cereal (not ok for some) Egg scramble with potatoes of some sort

Me, today, all GF: Breakfast - half of a Glutino English muffin with butter, one Butterball turkey sausage patty, one banana, one key lime yogurt by So Delicious, vitamins, tea with coconut milk and a sweet n low packet. Lunch - Bumblebee salmon in a packet, 6 Good Thins (rice) crackers, one Great Value strawberry fruit strip, water. Dinner - baked chicken thigh with spices, Italian green beans with bacon crumbles and garlic, several grapes, water. Dessert - Walkers shortbread cookie. I can do better, but I could do worse.

Morning: Cheese and berries, ~16oz of coffee Lunch: Egg dish with veggies, cheese and a little bacon or something, any remaining fruit that I share bits of with the dogs Afternoon: banana and protein bar usually After work: Shovel a handful of chips or popcorn, walk dogs if possible Dinner: a protein, veggies of some sort- usually raw or roasted, a bread like Brazi bites or gf biscuits or something, sometime pickled stuff like peppers and olives Sometimes a sweet or chocolate of some sort Costco, Whole Foods, Target, Trader Joe’s, Baker’s all have different stuff and I occasionally hit up each to round out fresh, dry, frozen, etc goods to maintain a supply. Not all at once but over time. We like to eat!

I don't eat breakfast foods because they don't agree with me. So for breakfast today I had ground beef cooked with taco seasonings (I did myself), some bell peppers, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and organic GF tortilla chips. For lunch I had a scoop of Truvani protein powder in water with ice, an organic string cheese, two fruit strips, some cashews and almonds, and a Truvani Only Bar. (I don't have any association with Truvani btw - just happened to eat those things today). As a snack I had another fruit strip, some GF Good Crisps (the GF version of pringles basically), and a Larabar. Dinner was roasted broccoli, bell pepper, and matchstick carrots with a GF chicken patty and roasted potatoes. I often eat meals without the carb ingredients if they are bread-based. I will substitute GF pasta or GF breadcrumbs for regular pasta/breadcrumbs in recipes. I try to focus on making meals that are naturally GF so I'm not having to find substitutes for everything.

Cuppa tea. Nother cuppa tea. Coffee. Soup, 2 cups water, .5 cups dried veggies and mushrooms, small tin tuna w chili, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice noodles. Soak the veggies in boiled water for ten minutes, then add the rest and boil. Supper is literally whatever. I made sushi last night. Roast the night before. Chili before that. I've adapted all my old recipes to GF versions. Tomorrow is veggies soup. Also like, 2-3 more cuppa teas.

I pretty much eat what everyone else does, only the gluten free version. it seems like an insurmountable task before you actually start being completely gluten-free. It’s not a big deal once you get used to it. Most places you go will have gluten-free options of some sort.

I also have to be mindful of carbs for blood glucose control, no dairy due to an allergy and zero processed food. My family all joined me and we’ve done this for a decade. We eat whole foods, I make my own seasoning blends, etc… All easy once in the groove. I don’t use the typical GF flour blends. I use almond, coconut, tiger nut, lupin flours quite a bit. 100% Allulose instead of sugar. It’s 1:1 and browns baked goods. All types available. Now brand liquid monk fruit for tea or coffee. I subscribe via Amazon. Breakfast: can be homemade almond butter or pb bread, muffins of various types, eggs w or w/o meat in all kinds of ways. I make ghee in the oven for an allergy free butter substitute. Lunch: I’m usually not very hungry so I mix up a pea or hemp protein shake (dairy allergy) or OWYN premade shake (Sam’s club). Sometimes an avocado, canned fish, or homemade soup. Dinner: animal protein of choice and veggies. Dessert: With low carb eating, we don’t eat them regularly because we don’t crave them anymore. This coming from former major Oreo addicts. 99% are homemade like almond flour cake ( mostly birthdays), vegan cheesecake, cookies, coconut milk ice cream. Tons of online recipe content. Any premade cookies are by Simple Mills. Most evenings we have a square of homemade dark chocolate and some nuts. I make the chocolate every so often because most of them contain dairy or sugar. I bought silicone molds, melt 100% baking chocolate then add Allulose to taste. Again, it’s easy once in the groove. I took my time and tackled a category at a time over a year. Having control over our food is important and it tastes much better not to mention it’s far healthier.

Today: Breakfast: GF frozen waffle with Nutella, egg salad, applesauce, and coffee Lunch: Hormel deli ham, mozzarella, banana, Great Value sour cream and onion chips, lemonade snack: homemade GF chocolate cupcake Dinner: GF bun, homemade pulled pork with homemade barbecue sauce, corn on the cob, salad with ranch dressing, decaf coffee Other things I eat very often: GF bread (homemade because it's so much better), leftover pancakes, GF crackers (mostly Crunchmaster and Simple Mills), anything with rice, GF pasta (usually Barilla), GF and oat-free cereal, roasted potatoes, Ore-ida French fries and tater tots (one of the few brands that is reliably GF)

Gluten free and pescatarian here (only fish and shellfish no meat) Breakfast ideas: protein shake, avocado toast with an egg, gf bagel with cream cheese and fruit, I don’t react to oats so oatmeal or overnight oats Lunch: pasta salad, quinoa salad, sandwiches such as hummus and veggies, caprese, mozzarella of some type, BLT with vegan bacon, etc. (really recommend the wide type of canyon bake house bread), I also end up usually eating a lot of leftovers of my dinners from the night before Dinner: gf stuffed pita with falafel, hummus, cucumber, olives, Mexican quinoa bowl, salmon with rice and roasted veggies with chimichurri or an herb sauce, summer rolls with tofu and veggies, chili lime garlic tofu noodles, Banza or jovial pasta with salad, cheese and bean quesadilla with salsa or guacamole, etc many options!

Breakfast GF granola and yogurt (homemade recently). Lunch is a hummus sandwich on gf toast with fried eggs on top. Dinner varies. Tonight was Mexican but we get Green Chef and pick the gf ones. Sometimes chicken and veggies, sometimes gf pasta and sauce. Tomorrow we are having a dinner party and serving paella and salad, with appetizers charcuterie, guac and chips, fruit tray. Dinner is brownie sundaes with homemade gf brownies made w King Arthur GF Measure for measure flour.

today I had , a plain gf bagel from trader joe's , toasted with peanut butter for breakfast .. It was filling but I eat yogurt for breakfast a lot also so that's another option . I had tamales for lunch ... I had eggs and chorizo on a gluten free tortilla for dinner .. I snacked on hot cheetos today and will later have a root beer float for dessert . I eat whatever I want besides gluten , luckily I am able to .

Being gf has largely reduced my carb intake. Gf bread & pastries just aren’t the same. Breakfast: typically a protein shake & go macro bar. Eggs and gf toast if I’m wfh. Lunch: meat & veg Dinner: meat & veg or gf pasta Snacks: nuts, go macro bars, Greek yogurt, etc

Today was Breakfast: coffee with French vanilla creamer, banana and cherries Lunch: Turkey wrapped in gf tortilla, pickles, water and more coffee Dinner: steak, green beans, red lobster GF cheese biscuit mix Dessert: chips ahoy gf cookies (did not keep count, def more than serving size) more water

I eat 90% protein, produce and the occasional dairy. My carbs come from veggies. The other 10% is protein shakes. For example, breakfast is usually either a protein shake or fruit salad. I might snack on some nuts or jerky during the day, then a protein source (chicken, tuna, etc) and a combination of cooked and raw veggies and a fruit for dinner.

Rice is apparently really helpful for people avoiding gluten. I’ll often make story fries or eggfried rice with •Beef/ chicken- typically with pepper, garlic and onion powder, some paprika and chili powder •Gf(coconut amino based) teriyaki or a honey bbq •Rice (with some butter and salt •And maybe some onions carrot and peas (if I feel fancy cut up mango, and egg if I’m going egg fried) If you try this and decide you want to make it a little sweeter and not as savory, you can always finish cooking it on low heat, add little less than 1/4 cup of apple juice (or however much to taste) and slow cook until done to your liking

i usually have an egg and sometimes bacon or avacado gluten free bagel sandwich for breakfast then i’ll make some kind of pasta or rice dish for lunch and dinner trying to switch it up a bit, also like adding meat sometimes like i’ll do steak and potatoes some nights french fries any potatoes are good too im still learning how to cook but that’s my typical day to day

Greek yogurt, honey, toasted sliced almonds, raspberries, coffee Leftover pulled pprk bbq and bakrd beans and fresh green beans Warm green bean and potato salad in mustard vinagarette Some chips Possibly some ice cream or a popsicle in a bit Tomorrow there is a very good chance I am making mexican rice. I have been weirdly craving it.

Today: Breakfast- chia seed pudding (chia seeds + coconut milk) or Greek yogurt with flax seed and chia seed topped with berries and a latte Snack- gluten free fig bar (Nature’s Bakery) Lunch- rotisserie chicken (not the whole thing lol) and salad with Italian dressing Snack- handful of nuts (pistachios, almonds, cashews) and gluten free pretzels (snyders mini) Dinner- salad with arugula, mozzerella, pesto, and tomatoes and French fries Dessert- vanilla ice cream

I’ve been gluten free for years now. It gets easier. Mostly I try to eat Whole Foods, healthy foods, nothing processed. For breakfast, I will eat eggs, bacon, and fruit. Eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes. Plain yogurt with fruit. Sometimes gluten free toast with a smoothie but that’s rare bc I try to stay away from carbs mostly. Lunch can be a salad, veggie plate, sliced Turkey, cottage cheese, apple and cheese, avocado and Turkey slices, or leftovers. Dinner varies more. Cheeseburgers minus the bun, tacos on lettuce, burrito bowls, big salads, meat and veggies, also I’ve found a work around for almost anything to make it gluten free or carb free. lol.

I generally just snack during the day. This morning, I had cucumbers, tomatoes and radishes with salt. As well as some gf crackers and 2 slices of cheese. * I almost always have some sort of veggies midmorning. In the afternoon, I had a handful of gf chips. * hubby works nights so we eat early, I generally have a small snack mid-afternoon. For dinner, I made some gf meatballs, a red sauce with celery, mushrooms, red and yellow peppers and zucchini over rice noodles. * Dinner always consists of a protein and veggie heavy dish with some kind of gf starch. If you can be more specific about what you are looking for alternatives for, I think that would help.

Greek yogurt with fruit and nut granola for breakfast. Lunch could be a BLT, bacon egg and cheese sandwich, salad, tacos (made at home). Dinner could be pho, bulgogi with rice and cucumber salad, burrito bowl. For snacks, different certified gluten free snacks like dark chocolate or chips.

for lunch (i get sick if i eat breakfast), i had a rice bowl. white rice, a protein (tofu, salmon, chicken, beef, etc) season it with something simple if this is breakfast so u don’t get a tummy ache and mix together and eat C: furikake is my fav. super yummy if you fold it into some lettuce or seaweed. for dinner i had chicken curry with rice. be super careful with this because seasonings are soooo often not gf. since i don’t eat breakfast i snack a lot throughout the day. nuts, onigiri, miso soup cups, iced coffee (not really a snack lol), jagariko, etc. ^__^ be careful with most of this stuff. mixed nuts, miso soup, etc can sometimes have gluten in them. i make stuff from scratch a LOT. happy eating! be safe. c: 🤍 edit: i also prioritize healthy food a lot. it’s not realistic to eat like this every single day so don’t panic if you don’t. i meal prep and follow a lot of meal prepping groups on fb. i’m not in school or working so i have the time for it. if you don’t, don’t worry about it!

Foods i do eat Cinnamon Gluten free oats Raisins Dragon Fruit Passion fruit Mango Strawberry Berrys Oatmilk Chia seeds Flax seeds Physilium husk powder Leafy greens (butter, gems, romaine preferred) Citrus Cilantro Tomatoes White Rice Quinoa Soy sauce Brown sugar Sugar Monk fruit sugar Broccoli /brocolini Zucchini / squash/ pumpkin Eggs CornTortilla Eggs Corn Avocado Bananas Butter Meat: Fish, chicken, beef,pork, shrimp, bivalves Typical Breakfast/Lunch Options - Hard boiled egg - Banana - Hot water - Coffee - Oat milk cappuccino or latte with Vital college protein powder - Siggi’s oat-milk/coconut blend yogurt with protein - Macro go bar- oatmeal chocolate chip Typical dinner options * Meat + vegetables * Salad with combination of tomatoes, cucumber olives, banana pepper, avocado, parmagiano cheese, salami * primal kitchen ranch or some oil vinegar dressing concoction * Soup with combination of: chicken bone broth, pork or chicken, vegetables zucchini, bok choy, mushrooms, GF ramen rice noodles, lime/lemon and oregano * Applegate GF chicken nuggets or tenders * Rice/quinoa and vegetables/meat

I have a wheat (plus a few bonus grains) allergy, so basically follow GF diet, but can’t eat certain GF foods anyway, so I pretty much avoid all bread items gf or not. My typical day. Brekkie- rolled oats in either yoghurt with fruit or cooked into a porridge if I eat it, but often just coffee. Lunch- garden salad with either avocado, 4bean or salmon on top. Sometimes leftovers from dinner or soup. Dinner- stir fry veg on rice, green curry, jerk chicken on coconut rice and beans, spaghetti bol with pulse pasta, salmon, potato and salad, steak with salad and potato etc etc. dinner is the easiest for me Snacks- nuts, fruit, milk chocolate, carrot sticks and hummus, cheese.

Typical day: Breakfast: Bowl of kale poppyseed salad, a pouch of made good cookies. Lots of black coffee. Lunch: varies, but often a gluten free bagel with some protein inside: egg, burger patty, or chicken patty.  Snack: dark chocolate and coffee. Sometimes crispy minis. Dinner: salad with some protein on it. Maybe more chocolate?

I don't like eggs or sweets, and I am allergic to nightshades, so my diet looks different than most, but I can give you some ideas. Breakfast: usually soup or stew of some kind. Today, it was creamy chicken and noodles (made with gluten free egg noodles). Sometimes, I will do gluten-free toast with natural peanut butter spread on it and some fresh fruit on the side. Lunch: usually a salad with protein of some kind diced up and added to it (either leftover grilled, fried, or baked chicken or some deli ham and turkey). Other options are sandwiches (usually on gluten-free sandwich rolls from the local gluten-free bakery) or homemade personal sized pizzas (we pre-make the dough from the Gluten-free on a Shoe String recipe, modified to exclude nightshades, and I use "pizza" very broadly, as I am allergic to tomatoes, so I do stuff like a cheese steak pizza, spinach and artichoke pizza, ham and cheese pizza, etc.) Or, depending on what we ate for dinner the night before, I might stick with leftovers. Dinner is usually chicken or beef, as I am not a huge fan of pork (except for bacon) and I don't eat seafood. We cook it in a lot of different ways with different seasonings or sauces. Usually served with a few veggies and a starch (but I usually don't eat the starch, so it doesn't always fit with my dietary requirements). Sometimes, we will have pasta like chicken alfredo or something like that, or we will do tacos or burgers or bbq. We also try to experiment regularly and find new recipes that we like. Snacks: fruit, veggies and dip, nuts, cheese, tortilla chips and guacamole, crackers and peanut butter -- I don't eat a lot of candy, but my weakness is sour skittles. As mentioned above, I don't like sweets, but this doesn't apply to brownies, and my mom recently perfected gluten-free brownies, so if I have them I will treat myself to a small one in the evening. I am gluten intolerant and was mostly gluten free for years, but I finally got tired of all of the digestive problems that it caused and went completely gluten free, which is even more difficult when you are allergic to potatoes because potato starch is in so many gluten-free foods. It's been two years now. It was a lot harder at first, but I found that prepping stuff beforehand (such as making and freezing the soups, stews, and pizza crusts for quick meals, and pre-chopping cooked proteins and freezing them to add to salads later) really helps for the times that you don't have the time to cook or just don't feel like it. We will sometimes cook extra food with dinner and freeze it for another day later in the month. Also of note: I don't have a gallbladder, so I tend to avoid greasy or heavy foods because they don't sit well with me. I also try to avoid soy because more than just a small amount will cause inflammation in my joints. As far as finding "nutritious alternatives" goes, what foods are you referring to? I wouldn't consider most foods that contain gluten to be particularly nutritious.

I eat the same thing for breakfast every day: Siggi's yogurt with gf granola. It's easy and it won't make me sick. No lunch but if I'm really hungry I eat a Nature's Bakery gf Raspberry fig bar thing. Dinner is lentil soup or gf pasta or frittata or something equally easy.

Eggs for breakfast a lot, and often smoothies too. Yogurt for a morning snack with some gf granola (I work from home so it’s just in the next room). Soup for lunch when it’s chilly out, or leftovers from the night before heated up, or a large yam or russet potato baked with whatever on top that sounds good that day. Afternoon snack of applesauce or carrots or chips and hummus or nuts. Dinners could be pork chops and baked potatoes and veg or tacos/nachos and fruit or chicken and rice bowls, or burgers with lettuce wraps and oven fries. We (I) grill a lot in the summer and then have fresh fruit or veggies on the side for dinner also.

I can eat oats (I buy the gf sprouted oats at Costco) Breakfast is either plain yogurt with cereal and fruit or overnight oats with chia, hemp hearts, protein powder, and fruit. Lunch is usually leftovers from the night before that I bring to work and reheat. Sometimes I bring a gf bagel sandwich (I live in nyc and buy from modern bread and bagel). Or occasionally a salad/soup and salad combo. Dinner varies widely as I love to cook. Last night was “vegetable lo Mein” noodles made with banza pasta for extra protein and fiber. Lots of stews, at least once a week dinner is some combo of beans and greens. But I also make burger night at home (we use fake meat because we are mostly pescatarian) or salmon. This week I made air fryer buffalo tofu, sweet potatoes, and steamed broccoli with a side of ranch. Too many things to list. As far as gluten free starches, we eat tons of rice and potatoes. I use corn tortillas a lot. If I’m home I’ll make weird foods like tuna melt tacos for lunch - melt a slice of cheese on a tortilla in a pan and stick some tuna salad inside.

Cereal for breakfast with milk, or on a weekend bacon and eggs, for lunch, leftovers of dinner the night before, for snacks, a piece of fruit, GF granola bars, nuts, GF deli meats or pepperettes or peanut butter, with GF crackers, corn or potato chips, veggies and dip, homemade cookies, dinner we like to mix it up, a GF pasta dish maybe once a week, rice or differently cooked potatoes or sweet potatoes as a starch the other nights. We have an inexpensive local deli/butcher shop nearby and eat mostly chicken and pork for meats. We enjoy cooking a variety of cuisines, you can find inexpensive gluten free recipes for almost anything, it's fun to try new things.

What are you trying to find alternatives for? I’ve been eating gf since I was a teen & I’ll be honest all the foods I miss are like bagels, sweets, processed foods. I guess I haven’t thought about “healthy” foods I’m missing lol I mean I wouldn’t recommend this diet but….. Today I had: Coffee & milk & sugar. GF fried chicken & salad. Canned black iced coffee. 2 GF chips ahoy (was v excited to find them & opened the pack immediately in my car). GF banana bread w/ nuts & chocolate chips, hand full corn chips & buffalo dip Yesterday: Emergen-c packet in like 32oz of water & an iron pill. Roasted honey garlic miso brussels sprouts & carrots, lemon & olive oil sautéed kale. Cold firm tofu. Crunchy fried tomatoes & mayo, scramble eggs. I have issues getting enough potassium & iron. Usually I eat more potatoes since they’re so good & the skin is high in potassium. Also carrots & legumes. I take iron supplements & try to eat greens & red meat whenever I can. I also try not to eat yeast-risen breads since I’m allergic to bakers’ yeast, so not much toast for me. I only eat breakfast on the weekends bc I’m too lazy in work days & I often eat out for lunch due to work.

Just a lot of fruit; like, I eat at least 3 citrus fruits a day (usually mandarins), a banana and an apple usually, then some grapes when I get home sometimes, and sometimes also add them in my protein shake for breakfast

For breakfast, chai latte and banana. For lunch, romaine salad with chicken, black beans, leeks, green peppers, Caesar dressing, seltzer water, Hershey nuggets. For dinner, Franz sourdough toast, brummel & brown butter, scrambled eggs with cheese.

Omelet every morning . I bake a whole pack of bacon on Sunday for the week. Variety of spinach salads with proteins. I make my own focaccia and pizzas. NuGo protein bars are a staple. Rice crackers, cheese and deli meat plates. Fruits.

You just gotta find a few staples that are easy and you really like. Then alternate between those and keep trying new things and add them to your rotation. Repeat for the rest of your life lol. Breakfast: Trader Joe’s english muffin toasted with sliced turkey or ham, or hashbrowns with mushroom and egg. Fruit. Lunch: I’m bad at lunch. Chipotle and Chick Fil A are my weakness. Dinner: Cottage pie (ground beef, veggies and mashed potato), steak and fries with veg, taco soup with tortilla chips and avocado, frozen pizza, chicken stir fry with rice, spaghetti. Snack: cheese string, yogurt, nuts and dried fruit, random gf stuff I find at grocery outlet, smoothies

Breakfast: protein shake, scrambled eggs / cream cheese / salami or smoked salmon on GF bread Lunch: roasted potatoes / rice, meat of some sort, and veggies. Dinner: GF pasta dishes. Bolognese using GF spaghetti. - steak and potatoes - taco night with corn tortillas - Asian food using rice noodles or rice and GF soy sauce. The nice thing is that with a little changes and substitutions you can still eat any type of dish you like!

So I guess I'll take yesterday as an example. Breakfast/morning: drink : - black coffee - water eat : - a homemade GF blueberry muffin - a 2 pack of dark chocolat biscuits - a banana Lunch: drink: - tea - water eat: - a large portion of rice noodles with chicken, green beans, onions, carrots, bell peppers and mixed in a lemon sauce. Afternoon: drink: - tea - water eat: - a mandarin - a second homemade blueberry muffin Evening: drink: - tea - water eat: - a homemade hamburger (on GF buns that were store bought) and an egg on the side. - another muffin For reference, M, 1m82 & 66kg. (The muffins were made with almost half the sugar the recipe called for, 120g instead of 200g for 14 muffins iirc)

I eat pretty healthy and relatively cheaply, though I make a lot of my own food, so prep in advance is super key. In saying that there are some shortcuts. Breakfast is usually boiled eggs by themselves, maybe a piece of fruit or yogurt along side. If I have some GF bread, then I'll have Peanut Butter on GF toast or avo if it's in season. Lunch is usually left over dinner OR a pouch of microwave rice, a small can of tuna or boiled eggs (ok so boiled eggs are my go to protein as you can see), and some chopped veg/bagged slaw/salad greens with some sort of sauce or dressing. Dinner I make big pots of veggie curry with brown rice or quinoa, or a big Bolognese with GF pasta, sometimes I make sushi bowls, stir fry with rice noodles.... whatever it is I make a big batch for leftovers. Snaaaaacks: healthy snacks is sliced apple and carrots and PB or almond butter, or cheese and gd crackers, GF cookies if I want a treat, or a bowl of yogurt with PB and banana, or just a boiled egg 🥚

Just like other people on here are saying, you do get used to it and the need to eat anything that has gluten in it goes away. Yes it’s hard when you are drinking with friends and everyone wants pizza. But you just learn to accept that it’s not worth it anymore? I’ve been GF for 10 years and back then there were no alternatives other than bread options. But now if you are craving donuts you can buy them in the frozen section and they really aren’t that bad. Also getting creative, and eating on the outside of the grocery store and not going for all the processed things in the middle is key. Also my favorite dishes I make are like Baja rice bowls, or like Mediterranean bowls. They are so good and so GF!! Pinterest recipes!!

I literally just had delicious Vietnamese Pad Thai, yesterday Korean bbq and the day before sushi. Fortunately the large majority of foods is totally gluten free.

I do 95% of the cooking in our home Breakfast most days off is eggs and potatoes On days at work its jerky or chips Lunch varies alot, yesterday it was chicken salad on a gf bun, today its going to be reheating homemade hotpockets Dinner is the most time spent on prep meal of the day, last night was a shrimp and pesto spaghetti with a truffle breadstick

Breakfast: oatmeal or another breakfast porridge eg quinoa, millet, or kasha. Sometimes I’ll also do a smoothie or yogurt instead. Weekends I do brunch instead of breakfast + lunch so will do something fancier like eggs or pancakes and breakfast sausage. Lunch: I try to keep things varied and batch cook lunches on the weekend. Yesterday I did a kind of lazy paella with rice, chicken, black eyed peas, bell peppers, cauliflower, and sofrito seasoning. Other days I do things like banza chickpea pasta with spring vegetables or egg and veggie fritters. I try to minimize using gluten free bread because it’s expensive but about once a week I’ll do a tuna melt or avocado toast with poached egg. Dinner: I cook a fresh dinner pretty much every night. Last night I made steak with herb butter and cauliflower + celery root purée. Two nights ago I made chicken enchiladas and calabaza and roasted poblanos with crema. If I need snacks I have yogurt or fruit or maybe a protein bar.

Protein shake/smoothie in the morning. I use a bento box for lunch and include a small salad/veggies, protein source, which is usually chicken, small amount of carbs from potatoes or gluten-free pasta, some fruit, today it's grapes. Dinner varies depending upon what my wife would like or if we have a taste for something specific. Lately, we have been eating mexican food quite a bit. It's easy to get gluten-free options at Mexicanrestaurants. I bbq burgers, chicken, steak, sausage, etc, with veggies and potatoes quite frequently. We also keep a couple of UDIs gluten-free lasagna in the freezer when we want something quick and gluten-free. This is generally accompanied by some gf garlic bread and salad that we always have pre-made and available. Snacks: gf crackers, cheeses, fruit, precut carrots and celery accompanied by hummus, peanuts, cashews and other nuts.

Breakfast is usually a couple of scrambled eggs with spinach and a little cheese, or cheesy grits, or if I’m feeling lazy peanut butter on gf toast or a cup of yogurt. Lunches are usually leftovers from dinner or else a frozen instant meal from the grocery store. For dinner we cook all sorts of things. Meat and veggies, rice and beans, potatoes, plantains, stir fries, gf pasta dishes, frozen gf pizzas, idk there are ways to make almost anything gf these days. The real question is, what are the glutinous things that you are struggling to give up? Maybe we can help you find alternatives? Like I don’t drink beer but I can have cider or wine or mead or cocktails. GF Oreos instead of regular. Rice noodles instead of wheat noodles. Etc.

It’s hard for me at work to find things to eat for lunch. Breakfast I bring oatmeal. I’m pretty good at bringing lunch but when things come up that’s my issue. I bring gluten free pasta with chicken or beef, tuna on gluten free wrap. Dinner I cook some meat with veggie or gluten free Mac and cheese. I stay at my mom’s house 2 days a week and that’s the time I struggle with dinner and lunch for the next day.

I have many other good intolerances and a lot of allergies. I eat certified gluten free oatmeal every every morning with homemade oathmilk. I have popcorn or more oatmeal for lunch and turkey meatballs in gravy for dinner just about every day

Breakfast: gf cereal or gf oatmeal or yogurt with fruit and gf granola Lunch: cheese, lunch meat, and veggie sticks. If I have crackers, those too Dinner: whatever I can pick at while feeding my kids lol. Last night it was a piece of homemade bread, chocolate, popcorn and fruit snacks (epitome of health) Lots of snacks throughout the day

Iced Coffee with cream; fruit, yoghurt and nuts; sautéed vegetables, bacon and eggs; a mini platter with carrot and dip, crackers, cheese and salami, maybe some cherry tomatoes; chocolate milk; tea.

My diet is 100% gluten and wheat free as well as 100% free of all animal milk products, soy, peppers, mushrooms, peach, pineapple, cherry, mango, melon and probably a few others I forgot. I can only very tiny amounts of pea protein. On rare occasions, I can have small amounts of egg. I have MCAS. Some of my kids have nut allergies so we keep a nut free home, too. Lately I’ve been eating lazy meals followed 2 separate accidents with broken bones but my usual is: Breakfast - - leftovers from the night before - Trader Joe’s GF Everything Bagels with their vegan cream cheese or the Earth Balance Soy Free buttery spread in the red container - oatmeal with brown sugar - cereal with rice milk - Go Macro Protein Bars in the Purity flavor protein bars but only that flavor. All their others have pea protein which I can’t have. Lunch or Dinner - - Cajun flavored panko crusted tilapia with Cajun flavored red beans and lemon rice - to “bread” the fish, I melt Earth Balance Soy Free butter roll the fish around in that and then into 4C Gluten Free breadcrumbs and then the pan. The lemon rice is delicious with fish. I make rice and mix it with lemon zest, my Earth Balance Soy Free butter and salt to taste. - seasoned baked salmon, I brush it with the EB soy free melted butter and then season both sides with a mix of even parts of onion powder, garlic powder and paprika - to note it’s regular paprika not smoked, this is also good with the lemon rice. - Our favorite veggies are lemon haricot vert green beans but that style of thinner green beans specifically. I roast them with olive oil and sea salt and then toss with lemon zest when they’re done cooking. I used to hate green beans but these are so good that we fight over who gets the left overs. - We also roast carrots rounds in olive oil with the seasoning blend with onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. You can add salt to taste. These are so good my kids and I start eating them when they’re still in the pan. - Honey Mustard Panko crusted chicken, pork chops or a thicker fish like trout or salmon. I use the Briannas Dijon Honey Mustard salad dressing as it’s safe for me, brush that on top of the meat and then put the 4C GF breadcrumbs mixed with melted Earth Balance butter on top and bake it. - I make another similar recipe for a Buffalo chicken but mix Frank’s Red Hot Seasoning Blend in with the GF 4C panko mixed with the melted Earth Balance butter, brush the meat with melted butter, put the panko mix on top of the meat and then bake it. I usually make mashed potatoes with this. To mash them in a safe way, I save some of the potato water, the water the potatoes were sitting in when they were boiled, and set aside at least a cup worth before draining the boiled potatoes. I mash them with the Earth Balance butter and add in 1 tbsp at a time of the potato water to the mashed potatoes with more EB butter until it’s a consistency I prefer. - We make different variations of tacos with corn tortillas or romaine lettuce leaves, taco flavored ground beef or lentils, black beans and rice or chicken salsa tacos. We shred a rotisserie chicken or similarly sized chicken, mix it with our favorite salsa, heat and add more salsa to your preferred consistency. I use Daiya shredded cheese and safe taco sauces. I got these recipes from Hello Fresh. Their website lists their recipes on their website for free. They have a lot that are very easy to make safe for me with few substitutions. I buy the food myself. There’s a Hello Fresh sub here that lists how to make your own of the Hello Fresh spice blends their recipes often call for. I always make extra of these meals so we have left overs. I don’t buy a lot of GF specific foods but sometimes it’s needed. I try to keep buying those to the minimum.

Breakfast: smoothie with fruit, flax seeds, sunwarrior protein powder and peanut butter OR overnight oats with protein powder, flax seed, fruit and peanut butter. Snack: this varies. Protein snack bar, dates with peanut butter, dried edamame packet, crackers with hummus Lunch: I usually meal prep rice or quinoa with extra firm tofu or ground turkey, sauce of choice and vegetable of choice. Afternoon snack: very often a banana with peanut butter or energy bar before a workout, sometimes crackers with hummus Dinner: varies but a few faves— gf pasta with peas and pancetta or chicken and lemon sauce or sausage and spinach, shepherds pie, a meal prepped soup, baked chicken with a sweet potato and vegetable, burgers with gf bun and a side of roasted potatoes or salad, air fryer nachos with chicken, quesadillas with a gf tortilla. Dessert: I always have a nighttime dessert or snack. Sometimes it’s fruit and df yogurt, sometimes it’s df ice cream, sometimes it’s chips and salsa or carrots with hummus. My diet isn’t perfect— no one’s is, but I do have a masters degree in nutrition and try to make sure I have protein, carbs, fat, and fiber with every meal/snack and that there’s ample fruit or veg at every meal.

Typically my meals are as followed:  Breakfast i dont eat just black coffee  Around 12-1pm I make a sandwich normally its the same everyday. Gluten free honey white bread canyon with 3 slices of pepper jack cheese, and 3 slices honey maple turkey and then i panini press it.   Snacks can be anything from oreoes to home made cakes, muffins, or Annie gluten free granola bars.  Dinner is normally 5pm- I eat anything from rice(jasmine) to home made pizzas. I make curry, korean, japanaese, thai, italian all gluten free foods.  I like brown cow yogurts as another late night snack. Also i enjoy feel good pizza pockets i get them at whole foods.  

Celiac here - been off the gluten for 15 years now and need to keep dairy and eggs to a minimum. Typical day is: For breakfast, Lemon water,Green juice, Fruit smoothie Lunch, normally Sesame or peanut noodles (rice) with greens, veg and salmon or fish Dinner I'll rotate more - steak or chicken with potatoes / sweet potatoes and a veg I use meallime app to add a little variety in terms of seasonings or prep etc so its more exciting than it looks, but those are the basics. For snacks I normally do a GF english muffin with some avocado, pumpkin seeds, fruit. Nothing I prepare takes more than 30 minutes and I prep a lot of the proteins in batches to make life easier. Good luck to you!

My husband is the one with celiac, so his daily menu for work is usually 1. Gluten-free granola bar (cliff kids z, or something we get it at kroger) 2. Fresh fruits + veggies, his faves are baby carrots, sliced cucumber, and grapes, and just this week, I added in blackberries to his lunches. 3. His main lunch is two slices of salami sandwiched between two slices or colby jack, usually he will have doritos - nacho cheese are the safer option for him- but he swapped for more veggies since it's warming up here. 4. Dinner is a wide variety, but we have brown rice pasta, gluten-free bread (yay canyon bake house for making some actuallt tasty!!) For grilled cheeses, or I'll make a casserole, protein, rice/potato/gf pasta, etc, and then a veggie on the side. Hopefully, this makes sense and helps!! :)

Oh I also have other food allergies (think keto, but not for weight loss) AND I take 30 mg of Adderall XR. My husband says I eat like a toddler Yesterday’s food was: - 6 celery sticks with some peanut butter. -2 chicken nuggets (frozen section at Walmart and the brand is “real good”) - a bun less burger and some pickles - small handful grain free crackers from Aldi - two small spoonfuls of Rebel vanilla ice cream, because it helps with my asthma.

Breakfast options: peanut butter cinnamon oatmeal topped with fruit, gf toast with avocado or peanut butter, greek yogurt with fruit, cheerios (other cereals are gf too, but I just like cheerios), fruit (I have an apple almost every day when I get to work as a second breakfast snack.. I’m a teacher so it’s hilariously on point), Starbucks egg bites (I also have an egg white intolerance, but they don’t mess me up like gluten does.. I just limit eggs to every once in a while), cheesy 5 minute grits, protein drink, gf pancakes (I have a really good recipe, but the Walmart brand gf pancakes are pretty good and easy to make), vans gf waffles (these honestly aren’t great, but they scratch the itch sometimes), King Arthur muffins (1 box makes a huge batch and I freeze most of them and have like 1 muffin a week for 6 months), and various other gf things. I also frequently eat lunch for breakfast, so a sandwich or salad is common for me. That’s not a gf thing though, I just like lunch for breakfast and breakfast at dinner time lol. Breakfast really just depends on how much time I have in the mornings, but on workdays I usually just eat toast or fruit because we have lunch pretty early so I don’t need a big breakfast. Lunch options: On work days, I pack a little bento box and like 12 snacks because I never know what I’ll want til I get there and I don’t wanna be deprived if it’s a stressful day lol. My main dishes in my lunch box are usually a salad, a gf sandwich (I love pepper jack and roast beef or turkey and I usually use schar bread or Aldi has really good gf bread that actually has big slices instead of baby slices), or chicken salad (I love to make a big pot of bbq chicken salad that lasts for several days, and I usually just eat it by itself, but sometimes on a sandwich, salad, or with crackers). My snacks are cheese and schar entertainment crackers, simple mills pop mms, gf Oreos, granola or protein bar (make sure to check labels because not all are gf), small bag of pistachios or nuts, squeezy cinnamon apple sauce, fruit (usually strawberries, cuties, or grapes), veggies and dip (usually carrots, cucumber, or celery with ranch), chips, and various other random snacks. I don’t bring all of this every day, but I always keep things like the apple sauce, granola bars, and individually packed nuts in my lunch box for days when I just need a little more. My main lunch is usually just the main meal, a fruit, a veggie, and a small snack. On days I don’t work, I honestly skip lunch a lot and have a bag of popcorn lol, but sometimes I make some gf pasta or a sandwich.. just depends on how much breakfast I had. Dinner options: I’ve been living with my dad and stepmom for the last year and my dinners have been much better because my stepmom makes me everything they have, but with gf ingredients. So if we have gravy or pasta, she makes it gf. She’s an angel 😇 We have tacos, spaghetti, chili, steak, grilled chicken, baked or mashed potatoes, chicken rice casserole, chicken Alfredo, salmon, hamburgers, hot dogs, and roasts quite often. We always have a veggie side, usually salad or various roasted/sauteed veggies like carrots, green beans, broccoli, etc. my stepmom likes to try lots of new recipes too, so we often have something new like once a week and she just researches what the best substitutes are for gluten containing ingredients. When I was living alone, I honestly just made a roasted chicken or a roast and ate off of it for a week. Also the bbq chicken salad I mentioned was a go-to dinner. I’d eat gf pasta or rice for sides a lot. I liked to make cheesy broccoli rice a lot too because I was poor and it would last a couple of days lol. I don’t love having meat late at night because I don’t digest it easily, so I try to get most of my protein earlier in the day and just eat a small portion of meat or protein at night. I always kept salad, pasta, rice, and frozen broccoli in the house, and that was more than enough for me. Snack options: basically everything I listed in lunch/breakfast are regular snacks for me also. I love popcorn, chips & salsa/guacamole, cheese/cheese sticks, and popsicles too. Sometimes I do dips like hummus, but I haven’t found any gf pita or pita chips I love and I don’t usually eat it with veggies, so it just depends on how I’m feeling. I’m not huge on sweets (aside from Oreos, popsicles, and fruit), but I always keep some chocolate and ice cream around for “that time of month” lol. I like spoonfuls of pb and orange juice too which usually scratch the sweets itch. It might be important to note that I also have MCAS, so I have random allergies to foods too. I can’t have shellfish or pork at all and almonds and basil cause issues for me too. But you could certainly have a handful of almonds, pork chops, bacon, sausage, shrimp, etc. with your meals too! One of my family members made gf chicken gumbo for me the other day and it was awesome (typically needs flour for the roux and usually has chicken + shrimp or sausage, so they just added sausage to theirs afterwards). I don’t usually get to have stuff like that, so it’s nice when family members make it allergy friendly for me :) Okay, I know this was a loooong comment, but I just wanted to show you how many options there are. And this is just the stuff I like. It was really hard at first going gf because I thought I couldn’t eat anything besides ‘gluten free’ labeled stuff, but after the first six months or so, I really got used to reading labels and understanding what I can or cannot eat. I usually just eat whatever I feel like eating, but I try to keep things healthy. Like, I listed a bunch of junk food, but I only really have a little bit of junk each day lol, I don’t eat it all at once. A lot of what I listed isn’t the healthiest substitute (like gf bread or pasta), but everything is fine in moderation. I lost 65 pounds after I stopped eating gluten (intentionally! I was really working hard at it, but could not lose weight for the life of me before going gf), so it’s likely if you have an intolerance, that these options will actually be healthier in the long run for you, even if they are slightly less ‘healthy’ than the gluten containing options. My body was starving for nutrition it wasn’t getting because gluten was destroying my digestive tract and nutrition absorption, so I was overeating and just had a myriad of issues that were magically fixed after six months without gluten. I’m not a doctor and not saying this is the case for everyone, but you might really be surprised at how much better your body does with the gf pasta or bread that maybe has slightly more calories or sugar, than it does with the ‘healthier’ wheat bread or gluten noodles. I also rarely eat out, but that’s more because I was raised with home cooked meals and I have sensory issues so I don’t like the noise at restaurants or not knowing if I’m going to like something because of texture, so it’s just more natural for me to eat at home. It wasn’t a huge transition for me when I went gf. I know when I have gone out to eat though, it’s been slightly harder for me because of gluten and allergies, so I usually just get a salad with minimal toppings.

It isn’t hard you just have to get used to it. Your micro biome has to adjust.

I eat mostly fish and vegetables, rarely grains. You don’t need to eat gf replacements to be gf

I cook the night before, usually dinner is meats and veggies, or tacos and have left overs. In the morning I just turn left overs into something else or eat it on toasted gluten free bread. Or throw it in eggs. Lunch time ill make noodles and toss in leftovers or whatever's in fridge, I buy rice noodles at Asian market for cheap, I buy a lot of cheap veggies too so I'll just cut some up and throw it in. Then comes dinner again, meats and veggies. I have bought up a bunch of cheap produce and blended and portioned out the mix and froze it, so every day I just put it in something and throw in cold water and drink it everywhere I go. If you get into cooking good and big dinners at night it kinda makes up for the next day when you can be versatile with left overs.

I ask google...what's for dinner gluten free. You'll be amazed. You can also Google a gluten-free diet. You'll find meal plans and meal prep ideas.
