Following a gluten-free diet is easy and delicious with this 14-day, 2,000-calorie meal plan. We've done the hard work of planning for you and mapped out 14 full days of meals and snacks that are free of gluten and gluten-containing ingredients and are balanced for a healthy diet. Because gluten-free diets can be lacking in certain nutrients like fiber, niacin, folate and vitamin B12, we made sure to include plenty of healthy foods to help you meet your daily nutrient needs. To be safe, always double check the labels of packaged foods and watch out for hidden sources of gluten, especially if you have celiac disease (an allergy to gluten).

Not sure if this is the plan for you? We offer a variety of meal plans for different health conditions, needs and diets. Find the meal plan that works best for you.

Shopping Tips: Choose a gluten-free bread that is around 70 calories per slice. When shopping for gluten-free crackers, choose ones with a high fiber content that provide 10% or more of the daily value for fiber. People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use oats that are labeled "gluten-free," as oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat and barley.
