Why a 2000 Kcal gluten free meal plan?
On average, Americans eat about 2000 calories each day. For some people, especially those with celiac disease who are underweight, this might be more than enough.
However, others might use this 2000-calorie plan to gain or maintain their weight. It can also help restore lost nutrients during flare-ups of celiac disease when diarrhea and poor nutrient absorption can cause significant deficiencies.
