    I'm a vegan and found out that I was gluten intolerant last week...
    So far, I'm finding bean and lentil salads to be a staple of my diet, lots of fruit and veggies etc
    Recipe wise, I've made gluten free cupcakes with gluten free flour, making them healthier and lower calorie by replacing sugar with agave syrup and using a little oil instead of egg (oil may be higher in calories, but as a vegan it's my only option :))
    Replacing sugar has been pretty good in keeping calories down
    Also, I find a lot of gluten free pastas etc seem to be pretty high on calories and there are fewer low calorie versions available, so I've been reducing my portion of pasta and bulking up my plate with more veggies :)

    I'm gluten and dairy free. Feel free to friend me and see my food diary for some recipes or meal ideas.

    Tonight for dinner I'm making stuffed peppers... using brown jasmine rice, ground turkey breast, tomatos, zucchini, onion, celery, and some herbs.... serving it with fresh green beans and the calorie count is only 260.

    I also love using the crockpot to make soups with loads of veggies and I also make a lot of asian stir frys with cabbage as a "filler" to lower the calories; I use Tamari (gfree soy sauce) & oyster sauce for the stir frys and cornstarch is my go to thickener :)

    Some low calorie snacks I love are jicama and hummus, nuts, and fruit.

    ok
    Baked Chocolate Mousse Cake
    (really its like a torte and it needs something with it as its very rich. cream or natural yohgurt or something.)
    250g unsalted butter
    350g really good dark chocolate (i use lindt 85%)
    250g light soft brown sugar
    5 large eggs

    Heat the oven to 180C -
    Melt butter and chocolate together over water
    Allow to cool very slightly then add the sugar followed by the egg yokes one at a time

    beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt (i dont' know why but that's what my mum thought me to do)
    till they form soft peaks then slowly fold in the chocolate goo then stick it in the tin.

    Bake for 35ish minutes (my oven runs hot) maybe less maybe more. it should have a crust over the top but still wobble in the middle.

    per 1/12th of cake Calories 443, carbs 32, protein 7, sugar 25.

    it causes very little wash up and is very easy even if you're not a baker. There we go.

    this sounds delicious. I am only recently gluten and dairy free, so this is perfect! Am going to have to try this.
    Thanks for the great idea. :happy:

    My husband has Celiac's.

    maybe chicken fajitas with corn tortillas??

    Your best bet is any dish that has no bread or starch to begin with.
    When you get into the Gluten free pastas and breads items the carbs and calories really start to pile on..

    Ive been diagnosed with Celiac for almost a decade now. I love doing protein and veggies. chicken and rice with side salad. Steak and sweet potatoes. there are SO many great recipes out there.
    I love Jamie Eason's turkey meatloaf muffins- tasty and GF and high protein!
    Also, i love doing breakfast skillets for any time of day- in cast iron skillet, saute a meat base (I use chicken sausage), a diced starch on top of that, sauteed onions and peppers on top of that, and then a fried egg to top it off.
    I also eat lots of eggs, hardboiled and otherwise.
