Hey everyone!

I'm restarting my fitness journey and I'm looking for some of your best snack and meal recommendations. Here are a few things to consider...

I eat a gluten free diet. No, I do NOT have Celiac, however, I find that I feel better, less sluggish and have better digestion when I don't eat gluten.
I also keep dairy to a minimum, though it is not completely eliminated. I just try to avoid obviously high dairy products like yogurt, etc. I've been using almond milk in cereal for quite some time and I really only use regular milk in recipes if it calls for milk.

Thanks everybody! I'll appreciate any input or ideas. <3

    Well, you've sort of knocked out one of my favorite dinners, which is a cup of greek yogurt with 0.25 c of dry oatmeal, and a diced piece of fruit if I have it.
    There is fake cheese based on soy which might substitute for some recipes.

    snacks:
    nuts, fruit, piece of string cheese, pretzels, hard boiled egg

    meals:
    fish, salad, baked sweet potato
    stroganoff
    soup
    tortilla made into a quesidilla with several oz of chicken, maybe some mushrooms, cheese, salsa, avocado if you have the calories
    Spanish rice: rice, chicken/shrimp, tomatos, bell pepper (or mild hot pepper, depending on your taste)
    curry
    stir fry

    Here's Taste of Home, a consistently great recipe site, and their list of gluten-free recipes:

    Thanks so much for the ideas!

    I had forgotten how much I adore hard boiled eggs until you mentioned that just now. :)
