Celiac Disease /Calories

mariposa1964ec · July 2015

I have Celiac Disease I am having a hard time trying to reach my calories. Even with snacking throughout the day. Anyone have suggestions?

What are you eating throughout the day? I am the same and have no problem reaching my calories.

Breakfast: Protein shake
Lunch: Salad or big helping of veggies with at least 20g protein
Afternoon Snack: Pudding cup or edamame
Dinner: Lots of veggies or salad with 30g protein
Dessert: Healthy Choice 100 cal fudge pop

Snacks throughout the day may include popcorn or popchips or veggies or fruit.

Generally I go over the 1200 and into my daily exercise calories. Generally land between 1300-1400 cal/day. Without knowing more about what you're eating daily it's hard to give advise but with celiac you can and should be reaching your minimum.

I have a severe grain intollerance so I feel your pain. I have taken to eating six meals, three big ~300 calorie ones and thee ~100 calorie ones. If I do that, I make my goal ^_^
For ideas, go here.

Potatoes, beans, chicken thighs, coconut oil, butter and other oil, sour cream, cheese, dried fruit (raisins,dates, apricots), olives, full fat salad dressing.

I have celiac too. Are you new to eating gluten free? I found the first few months tricky but then I settled in and realized how much food was left. All veggies, fruit, meats and dairy (if you can tolerate it) are fine. It's just the prepackaged processed foods that are usually no longer available to us. There is still rice, GF noodles and breads, GF muffins and pancakes. Just make sure you stock up on foods you want so they are there when you need them.

Nuts, veggies and dip, deli meats and wraps are all good substantial snacks.

Best wishes.

I guess I don't understand the relationship between getting your calories and having celiac disease. I have celiac, love food, and never have a problem. Eat more meat... Gluten free Oreos?

I don't have celiacs but I don't eat gluten, I also have trouble getting my calories. I usually get to like 600-800 by the end of the day and end up making a plate of veggies with like two tablespoons of butter and a teaspoon or two of peanut butter just so I can get there.

I'd say just add more fat. It will add more calories so you'll definitely reach your goal

Get some Rice Chex -- they are fairly cheap and easily available in any grocery store.
Add to full fat yogurt.

Thanks, Everyone!
I sstarted to drink protein drinks in the morning which seemed to help. I went with nuts, vegetables and fruits. GF peanut butter, gf yogurt. I am leaving about 600-900
