it doesn't matter how many just not in excess. use your judgement. eat when you're feeling a little hungry, but don't over engorge then you'll feel like crap. i personally like to eat a good breakfast (cereal, yogurt, piece of fruit and fresh juice), a piece of fruit before lunch, a personal size microwaveable veggie tray, another piece of fruit or veggie sticks about 2 hours after then eat dinner after. i like to try and space my snacks and meals about 2 hours apart. it keeps me energized for the day. hope this helps!

I like to take a few julienned vegetables like carrots, cucumber, bell pepper and a tiny bit of hummus or mustard and wrap it up in either a big piece of lettuce or a slice of low fat sandwich turkey meat.

If you watch the View, Elisabeth has to follow a Gluten free diet. She has written a cookbook for people with that problem. Hope that helps you.

Try Gala Apples. They have a crisp taste I think you will enjoy them.

meatless jerkey is made of tofu. You can find recipes if you google it. Interestingly, a meat jerkey company has a really good recipe for it.

Christine Smith – It's tough in the beginning but you adjust. I would like to suggest getting a couple GF cook books like Bette Hagman's bread books. There are lots on Amazon. You can also find some pretty good GF recipe sites like Karina's Kitchen (http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/) . Eating out is a bit more difficult but Outback Steakhouse, Cheeseburgers In Paradise and Carrabas Grill all have GF menus (ask for one). The menus are available at their websites as well. If you have a Whole Foods or natural food store near you you can usually find a good selection of GF products including mixes (look for Anne's, Bob's Redmill, Gluten Free Pantry etc). I'm on a GF diet as well as a calorie restricted diet and I sometimes post the recipes I use on my blog at BlessedBlogger.com. If you have questions you can contact me through my site. Hope this helps

I like to eat a snack consisting of meatless jerky (only about 75-100 calories per serving, and plenty of carbs with 10g protein and 2-3g fat) with either some cottage or low-fat string cheese and/or fruit. My other favorite snacks are, as mentioned above, hummus and veggies, nut butters and fruit/crackers, a small bowl of soup with a dollop of low-fat yogurt/sour cream, a granola bar (Kashi and Larabar are my favorites), or even some fruit with extremely dark chocolate and a small piece of cheese.

I like to make snacks that are made up of small amounts of food from different food groups to make it seem more satisfying (like a mini-meal) and supply any nutrients I need. I especially like to incorporate protein, because we vegetarians are sometimes lacking in that department.
