7 Days Gluten-Free Meal Plan for Beginners

How MyFitnessCoach Makes Gluten-Free Cooking Work in Real Life

Sticking to a gluten-free diet takes planning, reading labels carefully, avoiding cross-contamination, and balancing nutrients. That’s where MyFitnessCoach becomes an ally, not just a tool:

• It offers custom diet plans tailored to your calorie needs, preferences, and gluten-free goals.
• Its food logging feature helps you record meals easily, even scan packaged foods, and tracks whether you might be missing fibre, iron, or B vitamins.
• It prevents accidental gluten, sending gentle alerts if a food seems suspicious or mislabeled.
• It keeps everything organised, grocery lists, meal reminders, and progress tracking live in one place.

What used to be a chore turns into a confident routine.

Benefits You’ll Experience

1. Relief from bloating and digestive discomfort

5. Stronger understanding of food labels and kitchen safety

Avoid These Gluten-Free Challenges

• Relying on processed gluten-free junk: things like packaged snack cakes or gluten-free chips can still be low in nutrients.
• Cross-contamination: at home or dining out, gluten can sneak into sauces, dressings, or shared utensils.
• Going gluten-free without medical need: for most people, there is no recommended benefit, and it may cause unnecessary limitations.
