    Are you trying to lose weight? Do you like sweet or savoury, creamy or crunchy? Can you eat pasta or crackers?

    I find it helps to make lists of all the things you CAN eat instead of the forbiddens. Try something new every week.

    You have ALL the vegetables and fruit.

    You have all the meats. Hard boiled eggs. Beef jerky.

    For sandwiches and wraps try wrapping in lettuce (they will do this for you even in fast food outlets).

    I’ve been testing a corn tortilla. I find if I warm it in a frying pan it gets more flexible.

    Try rice wraps.

    I often spread hummus on my snack instead of cheese or peanut butter. If you have a good blender you can make your own. I freeze my hummus in to individual packs so it never goes bad.

    Of course there are the milk analogues; soy, cashew, almond.

    For lactose: Avoid milk and dairy products that contain or are made with whey.

    "Can't eat bread" is a bit more complex. Is there something in bread you're allergic to? If so, you just have to avoid breads that contains that, but you should also avoid other foods that contains it.

    And avoid fish. That leaves all kinds of meat, seafood, eggs, beans, nuts, fruit, non-starchy vegetables, starchy vegetables, oils, and depending on particulars, leaves out grains, seeds, yeast, butter, cheese.

    Now you just need some cookbooks and Google and cooking skills. If snack ideas is especially difficult, maybe you should just cut out snacks entirely.

    I literally eat shrimp everyday. I don’t do gluten either or lactose (although I do eat cheese and it doesn’t bother me). You just have to get creative, with different spices. I started eating rice and potatoes and you can do a lot with those and shrimp. Trust me :o:D I don’t look at Pinterest because it makes me feel like a failure, but I do go to a website called https://minimalistbaker.com/ and have found some good recipes to try.

    Thanks. I am trying to loose weight actually. I can't have gluten. And I'm having a problem eating enough calories to reach my 1400 limit. I can't reach it.

    If it's gluten you have to stay away from, you have to stay away from wheat, rye and barley, and things like ordinary pasta, soy sauce, and many readymeals, that often contain wheat or gluten.

    You can't just cut out something and not replace it, you have to eat more of what you can eat. If you're overweight, you will have no trouble reaching 1400 calories, and if you aren't losing weight, or not losing at optimal speed, you aren't eating below 1400 calories. (You must have eaten way more to become overweight.) What you're experiencing, is more likely a logging issue - you have to use a food scale and genuine database entries to be sure you're not eating more than you think.
