Lunch Ideas
I am 17 weeks pregnant and looking for some good lunch ideas. I have a mini-fridge at work, but no microwave oven. I cannot stomach mayo so any chicken salad/tuna salad options are out. Prior to pregnancy I would make a turkey/cheese sandwich on arnold's thins. Right now I am doing a lot of cheese/crackers, apples/berries, yogurt and veggies/ranch. Wishing I had something a little more substantial to eat as my main lunch. Any ideas?
I still ate deli meat during my pregnancy. I feel it's fine if you trust the source your getting it from (and I've had 4 healthy pregnancies and kids). What about cottage cheese, cheese sticks, peanuts or nuts, beef jerkey, protein bars, salads, hard boiled eggs, pb&j sandwhich or an occasional protein drink? You are out of your 1st trimester, so carbs are not as important as the beginning (my mid-wife even told me to eat the high protein things and less carbs), but I wouldn't be afraid to eat some carbs (especially the good ones and if they substain you longer). Hope that was somewhat of help to you!
