Q. This is Maria and on the Atkins diet. Can anybody tell me how many calories can I take for one meal?

A. I really appreciate you for your Atkins diet. I recommend you to eat until you are not hungry anymore, and then stop. You don't worry about calories until you're near your goal weight.

Q. Does anybody have good recipes for meals which don't contain gluten?? My 8 year old son has celiac disease. He is really suffering from not being able to eat so many things his brother and his friends can like pizza, pasta, birthday cakes, etc. I'd love him to have his own very tasty meals but I'm havin a hard time finding any recipes. If anyone knows some..

A. I have found some here- for chicken, pizza and brownies..
