Are you restricting fats?
Fat is pretty much necessary if you're restricting carbs (which you are, in practice, if you cut out gluten.) It sounds like you're trying to eat too little, and then eating "bad" foods when you inevitably get hungry. Fat is calorie dense and makes you feel fuller. You can pack cheese. 1500 calories worth of cheese is two bricks, and will definitely fit in your pack. I used to prefer sugar to fat, but eventually my preferences switched over, because I really liked the full feeling.
I agree about the high satiety value of fat, but there are a number of grains that don't have gluten, so going gluten-free isn't equivalent to carb restriction.
Moderately lactose intolerant. I can handle yogurt (usually) but cheese, especially large blocks of it, is bound to have some cramping/diarrhea effect. I do eat eggs. Hard-boiled take 10 minutes to prepare and I can take them from anywhere, doesn't matter whose house I'm sleeping at.
If cheese isn't good for you, nuts are a good, portable fat source.
I was thinking things like butter and heavy cream, neither of which have a lot of lactose, or coconut oil.
Hardboiled eggs are great.
I agree with SarahC. Fat is very hunger satisfying. I didn't start to lose weight till I started eating fats, which caused my hunger to vanish.
I never eat a lot of fat. It's not something I get cravings for. I'm not per se restricting it, but I can't think of anything I've eaten today that would have a lot of fat in it.
