Wow, I don't feel as bad after reading this. I have been recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and have been gluten free for 5 weeks and so far are still eating any fruit or vegetable (including nightshade vegetables) corn, dairy, and rice. But have been advised that I may have to eliminate the latter as well. I am allergic to egg, wheat and crab. Recently tested and have gliadin IGA & transglutaminase IGG antibodies but negative for endomysial IGA.
This isn't low calorie but there are great nutrients in avocado's and coconut (I would try coconut milk and virgin coconut oil.) I even add MCT oil (form of coconut oil) to my morning tea and it gives me energy and focus.
My go to snacks right now is apple slices, reduced fat cheese sticks, lowfat cottage cheese, popcorn, carrots with hummus, celery sticks, greek yogurt, pistachio's, walnuts or almonds. I add flax seed, chia seeds and hemp seed to salads, yogurts or side dishes when I can.
Not sure what fruit & vegetables you have to avoid. Can you have wheat grass, spirulina or other fruit or veggie that could be mixed in a smoothie or shake?
You can make some protein bars on your own with cacao. Here is a good recipe - but you could substitute something or omit the almonds. http://www.robinskey.com/chocolate-bar-recipe/
