I remember those days. Can you make a gluten-free pastry to wrap
things in so you can eat them one-handed? Freeze and nuke. What
things to wrap? Burritos (soft corn tortilla), don't go wild with the
spices, pizza-ish stuff, broccoli with cheese-substitute, etc.

Fresh fruit, while not high in protein, is easy to eat. You can even
set it down and finish it later. Sliced lunchmeats (without wheat
fillers obviously) are good too. Keep a batch of GF crackers handy.
Cold chicken (grilled) on the bone. Any kind of sandwich with GF bread.

Don't worry too much about eating and drinking enough. You only
need about 500 calories more: the classic axmples of that are a
penaut butter sandwich (use GF bread) or a fruited yogurt (hmm,
is there soy yogurt?). Drink only to thirst, no more.
