The only thing I can think of would be to take a fruit juice and turn it into an icee. Some fruit juices have no fiber. Watermelon has very little fiber, maybe you can blend it and turn it into an icee/popsicle.
Side note, did you ask her what she does eat? I'm just curious because seems from your list it's just Tilapia and I can't imagine she eats Tilapia for breakfast lunch and dinner. Like, what is on her list of foods she is able to eat.

Popsicles are certainly better than nothing!
Good thought.
I asked her when she came last time and basically she said just tilapia. She is extremely underweight and I suspect, mostly just eats that. To the person who said tilapia is an odd choice (if tilapia why not other super lean white fish like sole or flounder that would be cleaner?) But she insists and I don't think its my place to argue.

Soy is a bean so probably not.

This is very strange - and I’m used to cooking for people on restricted diets. And I have family members on diets for mental health type stuff so I’m a believer in the connection and power of food.

I wouldn’t stress about it if she’s not telling you what she eats. Could be she’s anorexic and not going to eat anything anyways.

She may have an eating disorder.

I am almost certain she does. But for various reasons I can't get involved.

My husband is on a very limited diet, I say which 3 foods he does eat instead of listing the long list he can’t eat. Just ask them what they usually eat.

Seems like at this point you did all you can and more, this isn't on you anymore.

If you can solve this one you are way smarter than I am. I just found out that we have a guest coming for tonight who can't eat:
Gluten
Fiber (so no fruit,, no veg,no grains or beans)
Rice
Nuts
Chocolate
Oil
Any animal product except tilapia (so no other fish, no chicken, no eggs.....)

I made her a piece of tilapia for main course but any ideas for dessert that doesn't contain grains, nuts, fruit, chocolate, eggs or any type of Gf flour?

And for those of you who I am sure will rush to say this, there is a chance yes, some of this may (or may not) be in her head. But I have no way of knowing and this is a girl badly in need of chizuk.


Looks like you're left with nuts and seeds.

Nut butters -natural (almond butter, cashew butter) served on their own.

Roasted or raw nuts (check for flavorings or oils that might not comply).

Seed crackers (made only with seeds, no grains or additives).

Serve a steaming mug of boiling water at dessert along with herbal tea assortment and cinnamon in case she can have the natural options.

But mostly, just make enough (a lot) tilapia. She must be used to subsisting off fish and nuts.

So that’s all she’s going to eat no point in trying. And it does sound like an eating disorder so even more so she won’t be eating anything else.

Then she probably won't eat anything regardless. Just prep tilapia & tea for her.

Did she actually say no fruits or vegetables? Because that's different from no fiber. Can she have a blended vegetable soup? Or poached fruit?
