So what are you eating? - Page 2

We haven't be able to go grocery shopping so I'm very limited in what's in my pantry.

Today I've had:
BFAST: Cheerios with a banana sliced in it
SNACK: All natural fruit popsicle
LUNCH: 2.5 egg salad sandwiches
SNACK: Apple
DINNER: 1 egg salad sandwich

I haven't been really in the mood to eat although I feel a bit hungry. I stand at my pantry door, staring at everything and keep shaking my head as I look at each item. Just everything seems so unappetizing. BLECH!

The only thing that I have been craving so far: Blue Frost Gatorade. And it is the only (best) thing that has kept any m/s at bay!

I read that pregnant women should avoid lunch meats, so what do you eat on your sandwich for lunch then? I have no imagination and I don't feel inspired at all. Just hungry.

Really? I had a cheese & luncheon meat (turkey) sandwich on a wheat bagel yesterday and the day before for lunch.

Some women completely avoid nitrates during pregnancy. If you are doing that, then don't eat lunch meat. The major health concern with lunch meat is the possible contamination with listeria (which can cause m/c). However, if you heat your meat to steaming before using it, it kills any listeria contaminants.

Thanks for the ideas. I can't say any of them are exactly appealing to me - and what is blue gatorade anyhow?- but it's good to know I'm not alone on the "give me McDonalds now!" thing. I had a KFC mini fillet burger for lunch yesterday, and that worked too. Maybe I just need to eat cardboard meat constantly for three months?
Anyone remember what the old wives tales on diet is? With Skye I was demanding Subway veggie delites with extra pickles and jalapenos. I haven't tried one, but the idea doesn't sound good.

i'm having aversions more than cravings -- i can't deal with lunch meat (same as my pg with dd) or chicken. i'm craving salmon and avacados. my menu has been a variation on
breakfast: coffee : and yoghurt
lunch: a sandwich with hummus and avacado, macaroni cheese, or a bacon/spinach/avacado sandwich
dinner: lentils and salmon, or salmon burgers and fries : or (cooked) sushi, indian (same craving as with dd but not nearly as bad), or (another : )b/s/a sandwich

i'm also off chocolate (same as with last pg, though its happening earlier this time) and most sweets in general. i'm also craving mc donalds : but breakfast -- a sausage mc muffin with egg and some hash browns with that horrible fake syrup! i haven't given in yet (mostly because its too cold to drag dd out merely for that)
