here's my day...not as good as it could be. i eat when i'm hungry, but i'm a little worried i don't get hungry enough.

breakfast: high-protein cereal with 1% milk
lunch: egg salad sandwich on whole wheat bread (about 3 eggs worth)
dinner: whole wheat pasta with homemade sweet and spicy tomato-spinach sauce and a salad with chick peas and assorted veg.
snack: smoothie w/1% milk, strawberries, banana, and 2scoops protein powder (24g protein in the powder -- not including milk)
i may try to force in an apple with peanut butter later, too.

about 60oz water so far, plus a mango iced tea. i'll try to get in about 40oz more water minimum, plus an iced RRL tea, before bed.

Ack, today was awful.

Breakfast - leftover beet cake, 1 c milk (lazy!)
Snack - chocolate cupcake + neopolitan ice cream! (we were at a birthday party!)
Lunch - McChicken sandwich (ick, I so totally know--it was a craving I couldn't knock, so I gave in!), fruit & yogurt parfait
Snack - more beet cake! too much! + 1 c milk
Dinner - corn chowder + zucchini cheese muffins
Snack - 1 bowl mango chunks

Need to drink more water. And try to forget all the millions of pieces of cake I ate today.

At least the beet cake had lots of beets in it, eh? To counteract the sugar?

robina - don't worry that you don't get hungry enough. It's normal for you to eat less in the last trimester. Your tummy is more smooshed than ever. Don't worry, once you're nursing, you'll be starving

For me today
B - bowl of cheerios, handful almonds
L - spinach and asparagus salad, dolmas, hummus and avocado wrap, nectarine
D - cup of pinto beans, nectarine, fritos, zucchini and potato pancakes
