One thing that I'm a big fan of is stir-fried vegis and a bit of chicken or other meat thrown on top of it all!! I use a bit of dark sesame seed oil and a bit of olive oil to 'fry' things in - but only a bit. If allowed, you could season with soy sauce, or just with salt and pepper.

For breakfast, you should go to one of those recipe sites and look up all the different ways to cook eggs!!

Just a couple of thoughts!

Breakfast has always been the biggest challenge for me with avoiding things like dairy and gluten - I think it helps to try to get yourself out of the "this is a breakfast food" mentality and just eat anything you'd eat for any other meal during breakfast. Sometimes I'll just eat some organic veggie soup for breakfast and think nothing of it! Smoothies are also good - you can use almond milk or some other dairy substitute, along with some fresh fruit and whatever else you want to mix in - sometimes I'll throw some nuts into a breakfast smoothie to give me the protein I need. Otherwise eggs are always a safe bet.

Drastic diet changes can be tough - what's made it easier for me is to have fun with it, and just keep trying new foods, lots of new veggies I've never tried - I also do a lot of stirfrying, salads, and when in doubt I just eat raw veggies until I'm tired of eating!

Spaghetti squash is also a great pasta alternative that I've just rediscovered - helps a lot with staying away from grains.
