[quote=Anonymous]Do you eat meat?  I was a vegetarian when I got hit with the same news, and it was really hard, but if you eat meat, you are in luck!

A few ideas for simple and nutritious meals/snacks:

- Peanut butter or almond butter on toast (check, but most breads don't have milk or soy)
- Pasta (check the label, but most are okay) with marinara sauce (make sure there's no cheese in it, but most don't have any), and ground beef
- Salads
- Burritos or tacos without cheese but with meat, beans, and veggies (salsa should also be fine)
- Most cereals are okay, and so is oatmeal (you can add raisins, fresh fruit, nuts, brown sugar, milk substitutes, etc.)
- Rice or quinoa (great protein!) -- the mixes have a lot of sodium in them but are easy and delicious
- Bake potatoes with toppings inside
- Sweet potatoes with toppings inside
- Deli meats as snacks or on toast
- If you have a slow cooker, it's easy to throw some meat, veggies, and broth/water into it and cook all day for a delicious meal free of anything you can't eat

Try some of the milk substitutes (especially things like coconut milk, almond milk), and make you are getting enough calcium (you might need a supplement).  But be aware that most dairy substitutes or meat substitutes have soy in them, and so does a lot of processed food.  I personally hate things like "almond cheese" and coconut yogurt, but maybe you'll like them.  I'd rather have something completely different than a fake substitute that isn't any good.  :)[/quote]
