Morning- bowl of Gorilla Munch and a hard boiled egg

Snack- some almonds while i drive and an apple

Lunch- 6oz chicken breast and half cup of mixed veggies

snack- Banana

Dinner- another piece of 6oz chicken, more veggies

After dinner 9:00pm i usualy have a bowl of cereal.

I always drink just water and occassionally a soda. Too much sugar kind of upsets my stomach.

This is not very many calories, and i work out and burn probably 400 cal at the gym.

What can i do to bump up my caloric intake??????????

Fruit on your cereal. More nuts during snack time. A little olive oil on you veggies. If you aren't dairy free, some full fat yogurt for a snack. Some black beans on your veggies.

I used Carnation Instant Breakfast Powder, check and make sure you know which ones are still gluten free as I haven't used it in a while. I know the chocolate malt at the ready to drink were not at the time I used it. I added a one double strength serving a couple times a day for an extra 1000 calories. If you are avoiding milk this would not work for you.

How about peanut butter on rice cakes? I was not a fan of rice cakes before going gluten-free, but I do eat them now with PB & strawberry preserves. I use the Lundberg Brand. If you don't like those, how about PB on your apple? Can you do dairy? I would add cheese to your chicken breast and maybe have a snack of cheese or cheese sticks (like string cheese). I second the Carnation Instant Breakfast..DS drinks the Rich Milk Chocolate powder in his milk every morning.

Good luck!

Definately increase your nut intake. Almonds and walnuts( unsalted) are the best.

Lara bars all have about 200 cals each and go good with fruit to complement a snack.

Mix some Enjoy Life Cranberry Crunch cereal in with yogurt.

Avacodos. If you know how to make guacamole, about a half cup with some gluten free crackers is about 300 easy calories.

Sherbert is a good low fat, high calorie substitute. You can also mix it with protein powder, fruit juice, and/or more fresh fruit for a high calorie, yet healthy shake.

And grapes are also a fairly high caloric fruit.

If you're already doing almonds, just doubling the amount will increase your caloric intake immensely...I have the opposite problem--I have to keep my weight from creeping up, and have such trouble limiting my nuts! They add up very quickly--especially almonds. Throw some raisins in with them. As was already said, grapes are a highish-calorie fruit. And they go great with nuts, as do sesame seeds, which are calorie-dense as well. Good luck!

Drink "Ensure" with your snacks (the chocolate is pretty good - chilled).

Add some carbs to your lunch and dinner. How about some rice or baked potato?

hi can you handle dairy and red meat? im a runner so i burn a lot of calories, i can handle dairy so i eat yogurt, cottage cheeze, full fat milk (my family is thrilled to have that in the house) im also using butter now instead of margerine. im a red meat eater not every day but a couple times a week, and i allways eat after i work out. go onto some of the websites that sell gluten-free food there is lots of snack stuff, as well as peanut butter can help. hope this helps, GOOD LUCK

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!
