I would probably eat whatever was made for me, as I am not good with confrontations or temptation. However, if I was worried about going too far over my calories for the day, I might just tell the person that I ate already and would like to save it for later. Just because it is given it to you doesn't mean you have to eat it in front of the person, right? I would definitely make sure I told her/him later how good it was so that they would know I appreciated the food gift.

I had a lunch meeting this week and the gluten free option was a bottle of water so I'd definitely be up for seeing companies make a bit of effort! Like you I would have probably just had one of the morning tea things (you can always say you don't have a sweet tooth) as they probably didn't expect you to eat both they just didn't want to see mean in their offerings (after all - when you have guests round don't you always end up cooking enough for another person just so you don't run the risk of them still being hungry?)

I'm going to a BBQ this weekend and a friend has told my partner she'll be making lots of gluten free delights for me. Now I'm still new to gluten free and had said that I wanted to bring my own food (so I'd know there would be no risk of accidental contamination and of course could be in control of how much I eat) but this was declared ungrateful and untrusting (of course they're not the ones who have to suffer the consequences and I don't want to have to lecture people on why I really would rather they didn't make my meal where there might be bread crumbs) so I fully intend on trying a little bit of everything and then doing my best to make sure everyone else is encouraged to try it too!! Just because its gluten free doesn't mean other people can't eat it and sharing is caring!
