Going gluten free is a challenge. You need to plan your meals and try different products to meet your needs. As I have said before, breakfast and lunch are the biggest challenges.
Lunch strategies- For sandwiches try different gluten free breads, or use corn tortillas instead of bread.
Salads- To make a salad more filling add cold quinoa, chic peas, nuts, egg, canned tuna or salmon, cold cuts, tofu or apples.
Soups- If you make a big pot of soup, it can provide a number of lunches. You can always add potatoes, cooked rice or beans to make your soup more filling.
Roasted vegetables- Think cauliflower, broccoli, onions, carrots, and root vegetables. For carbohydrates add a potato or rice. For protein add some cheese.
Snack strategies- Quick grab snacks- Nuts, seeds, cheese, fruit, yogurt, hummus with vegetables.
Always pack a snack with you, a protein gluten free bar, sandwich, some gluten free muffin or cookies. You never know where you will be and if there will be food you can eat. Eating gluten free can be easy and second nature, it just takes some patience, planning and time.
