Well, I'm not generally a meat eater but it is loaded with protein so....
I got lots of chicken in many varieties. I got it all ready made and/or frozen. I got already cooked grilled strips to put on whole wheat tortillas with cheese for lunches or snacks. I got some balance protein bars which are actually pretty good. They have 20 grams of protein per bar so that is awesome! The peanut butter ones are really good. I got Kashi vanilla protein shake powder. It not only has tons of protein (29 grams) but lots of fiber as well. It tastes good too. I got shrimp for a snack, cheese, eggs ( I hardboiled a bunch though they don't really have that much protein in them). I'm having granola and vanilla yogurt for a bedtime snack. I keep nuts by my bed to munch on in the night when I wake up. Magnesium, b6 and b12, folic acid, and salt are all important interactions with the protein so I'm eating lots of those too. I cut out coffee and most sweets as sugar really agitates morning sickness. I'm not a huge fruit fan but have been snacking on blueberries or melon throughout the day. Lots of salads and carrots too. This is a pretty big change for me menu wise and I'm hoping I can stick to it. I was a grazer, at best, before, and drank a few cups of coffee/day. Anyway - I'm taking this really seriously and hope it will pay off but who knows? I just don't want to be sick!! No one does, I know.
Kids need me. BBL....

: The good news is though it was controlled with diet & excercise. I suppose I should count myself lucky that I've never been a "sweet" craver when pg, but bring on the savoury! I loves me some vinegar!
