- Start with the healthy plate model.
1/4 of the plate- whole grain or starchy vegetable, such as quinoa, brown rice, or sweet potatoes. next 1/4 - lean protein, like black beans, chicken, or fish. And 1/2 of the plate-vegetables. eg: small baked sweet potato with grilled salmon and a large cucumber and tomato salad. - Once you have your main meal picked out, make sure you have a serving of heart healthy fats, such as avocado or walnuts.In our example above, you could add some creamy avocado dressing to complement your salad.
- Make sure you include an item in your meal that contains calcium. Calcium-rich foods include: dairy (yogurt, milk, cheese), dark leafy greens like kale, sardines or other canned fish with bones, soybeans, and certain fortified foods.
- Finally, add a fruit for a naturally sweet dessert. Fresh blueberries with plain yogurt make a delicious treat and provides antioxidants, calcium, and probiotics, something which you may benefit from supplementing with as well.
- Don't skimp! Make a lunch that you're sure will satisfy you. When you bring your lunch from home, you can be sure you have healthy gluten-free options. If you pack too little, you may find yourself hungry and end up picking up trying to find a healthy option on the go. And since there aren't many healthy gluten-free meals available, your options will be limited.
- Get creative with your vegetables. Scour cookbooks and the internet for new ways to eat your vegetables and avoid boredom. Don’t be afraid to try something new. You have nothing to lose and your continued health to gain!
- Chicken enchiladas made with corn or brown rice tortillas over a large bed of spinach, topped with fresh salsa and guacamole. Finish with a juicy orange.
- Homemade sushi with brown rice, smoked salmon, avocado, and a seaweed salad. Fresh mango and blueberries for dessert.
- Quinoa Salad with Walnuts, Raisins and Mushrooms, kale chips, and grilled shrimp.
- Turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato. Savory waffles make an easy gluten-free sandwich bread alternative, as does flatbread. Serve with side salad of spinach, slivered red onions, mandarin oranges, and walnuts with a balsamic vinaigrette.
- Sauteed vegetables and tofu in a teriyaki sauce. Instead of serving with rice, finish with a dessert of rice pudding made with brown rice and raisins.
- Brown rice and sauteed veggies sprinkled with sesame seeds. Serve with hard-boiled egg, split pea soup, and an apple.
