Just hoping someone might have some affordable, high calorie gluten free tips. I should also mention that I'm lactose intolerant as well(I know, right?).
Oh, all sorts of things. Get yourself a paleo cookbook as paleo also = gluten free. I make wicked good energy bars out of nuts, seeds, almond butter and coconut oil. Cook it up in a pan, stick in the fridge and cut into wonderful high calorie squares.
Almond meal makes really nice muffins and cookies, which are both healthy and very heavy on the calories.
Almond butter with a sliced apple is a great snack.
Trail mix - nuts, seeds, dried fruit etc.
If you mean real meals rather than snacks, check out cookbooks - there are probably good gluten-free specific ones, but I'm a fan of 'Everyday Paleo" which is full of great meals that take less than 30 minutes to prepare and are tasty. Add in a gluten-free type grain on the side if you'd like (Quinoa) and you've got a whole bunch of options.
