What To Eat When You Have Little Or No Appetite?

I am on a gluten-free diet, and all dairy except hard cheese & Greek yogurt drinks are not digesting well, no spicy food, have to watch the fat content too, and preferably no sweets or fatty red meat. Also can’t have chocolate or coffee.I made a meatball-rice pilaf last night, had made it before and liked it. I had to force myself to eat a tiny portion. Almost everything that I liked from the few times we got something from a restaurant didn’t taste right either. The best thing this week was an egg salad sandwich made from a new recipe with a bit of finely chopped green onion, finely chopped grape tomatoes and a little mayo & salt & pepper. Surprised myself and ate a whole sandwich instead of half.

I have lost 12 pounds since last month due to my lack of appetite.

@GoFish I don’t eat oatmeal or wheat due to them having gluten in them. Oats are supposed to be gluten free but they have something similar to gluten. A bowl of oatmeal would bloat me up badly. I could make a porridge from grits, I have some at home. Could flavor it up a bit for breakfast.

My nan suffered with bad ingestion problems and could only eat very plain food in small quantities. One day I bought her a few little jars of baby food and she ate them all and didn't have any problems.
