If you don't have a problem with legumes (beans, peas) I find them a good filling substitute for former comfort foods. They also pack a good protein punch. What flavours do you like? I like chick pea, lentil or veggie curries, many of which are or can be made with coconut milk (dairy is also a no-no for me). If you're not into Indian spices, try using beans and rice and poultry in different Mexican dishes. I will suggest more later (nap time for me ), but that was my initial thought. When I first gave up wheat and dairy I found it very hard to feel full or satisfied without them. Legumes helped. I'm also curious whether you are supposed to avoid all grains or just those with gluten. Brown rice and some of the other gluten free grains are good for you but I don't know whether they are ok kidney wise.
