I have used Almond flour for making a coating on chicken or fish but not until i was a year post op. I think you could use it much earlier than that.

I made my version of chicken parm using almond flour and parmesean cheese......

I never have used coconut flour but i have some in bought in my pantry. I was going to try baking something with it but honestly i just dont care much for sweets so I haven't. Its probably been in there over a year now.. LOL.

I would think that if you are approved for regular food, no reason to not cook with almond and coconut flour. They are just ground up nuts -- easier to digest that way and higher in Protein / lower in carbs. Win-win!

I use both flours often. I also recommend tigernut flour -- it's made from a starchy root vegetable and is a great gluten-free option.

I was just researching high-Protein, gluten-free flours and found this great list: http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/gluten-free-flours-that-are-high-in-protein/

Ooo, and I've been using this high-protein, gluten-free baking mix for years and I LOVE it! I can have pancakes and still meet my protein goals -- who knew?

I use almond flour to make salmon cakes. They are delicious.
