wat are ya eating

ok guys so need to know ....what are you guys eating and how often? i know to increase carbs... seems like no prob at all   i can eat sweets..i know am not suposto but i can , icecreamand candy ....go figure ....now am having issues with meat!!!! good lord so please let me kkonw need help there i live on chili, peanut butter and lunchebles!!!

When I was pregnant I very much did not want to eat protein -- which is odd for me.  I didn't want meat, chicken or even cheese.

I did crave crab legs for a few months.... and lots of cookies and crackers ! 

I also wanted to eat lunch meat, but since it's a "no-no" for pregnant women I (mostly) avoided it. 
I'm not sure there's an answer.... your body needs nourishment and when I was pregnant if that meant I ate potato chips with whipped cream because that's all that I could tolerate then that's what I ate !

Good Luck !

Sweets dont bother me either but I still cat like it does if I get more then 20g sugar... meat had been a turn off except ham and turkey... I got sick of ground beef quick.. I made lasania the other night had a small piece enough to satisfy me and not over do it 95 % meat and cheese and cottage cheese instead of rocattia cuz the thought of that right now makes me ill...lol  But it helped with my carbs... This is really challenging for me... I have been living on bananas and peanut butter... triscutes and cheese...chili sounds really good right now...lol  I dunno I just pick at my meals every hour and a half -2 hours but I am also having twins so I try and eat amy calories I am suppose to which is very hard... I dont know if I made sense to ya...I am multi tasking so... I hope I helped if not these other ladys are awsome... take care

probably better phrased as "what AREN'T you eating" for me.

I've been able to tolerate tons of stuff and am enjoying this pregnancy.

I'm eating a lot of chili, too.  It's one of the few things that sound good pretty much all of the time.  Other quick fixes that I seem to be eating regularly are Cream of Wheat and Weight Control Oatmeal - both prepared with milk for the extra protein, protein bars (The only ones I eat are Clif Mojo bars from Target.  They only have about 10g protein each, but they don't taste like a protein bar which is huge for me.), and Weigh****chers Smart Ones frozen meals.  I know that the frozen meals are not great due to sodium, etc, but they have a lot of protein and are fast, so if I feel like I can tolerate one, I can get it heated and in me before my stomach changes its mind.  I usually have the spaghetti or fettucine because I'm not loving meat right now, either.

I'm actually eating less often than I was pre-preg because food just doesn't sound good...I'm making certain to do three meals each day, and often a protein bar or low-sugar yogurt in between just to try to up the protein.  It sucks when the thought of food turns your stomach, but I'm more worried that later in the pregnancy the tide will turn and I will want to eat constantly.

Good luck!

Eating...I am eating whatever my little heart desires but I am usually repulsed by food. So if I want something, I am finding it or something very comparable and fast before the yearning disappears. Recently, I am all over ham and cheese calzones, bagels and cream cheese, fish sticks and french fries, and grapefruit. Oh, and I am horrible. Meat annoys me lately (besides those I mentioned I dont want it, not even to see it) but I've been weird lately. I will go to the salad bar at my school and get one made with chopped eggs, shreaded cheese, and ham cubes on top with dressing and all I will eat is the eggs and ham cubes lol. IDK why and I've tried just getting what I eat but didn't want it that way lol.

I can eat sweets...cakes, candy, ice cream galore. I have no threshold it seems on sugar or I guess its just higher than what I want. But lately I want NOTHING sweet. I have had a pack of fun sized kitkat bars and a pack of snickers and 2 small individual cups of ben and jerrys ice cream...for over a month now..gasp. Never had that happen before. So people are already saying boy lol. Even apple juice is too sweet for me these days and I have to dialute it.

I am just saying...eat what you can. I know my protein levels are tanking right now but I think its more important to eat in general than keeping forcing down protein only to see its return shortly after or making yourself sick to the point where you won't eat the rest of the day. Hopefully the appetite will return soon and it won't be biased.
