January "What are you eating?" thread

[ColoradoMama]

Yep. I told you all I was a foodie! I also know from experience that it is WAY too easy to fall into bad (or in my case lazy) eating habits while pg since we're tired and not always feeling super. Let's talk about what we're eating! It's a good way to keep track!

I had a gluten-free graham cracker with pb and jam and a "green" smoothie for breakfast.

For lunch I had vegan moussaka and a green salad (plus a few potato chips for crunch!)

[NotTheOnlyOne]

I had pancakes for breakfast, 3 with a glass of milk and some yogurt.

I had a few handful of animal crackers for a snack.

I had a collard and turnip green salad with red peppers, pecans and cheese and ranch dressing for lunch with and orange and a Skinny Cow for dessert.

I drink water or water/applejuice combo all day long. Trying to get 90 to 100 ounces in.

what kind of green smoothie do you drink? I used to get one ind, but I dont rememebr what it was and I would add some kale and strawberries. Maybe I should start that again.

Thank goodness this thread was started!!! Now I can be held accountable!!!

I had a protein shake for breakfast, and also had 1/2 an everything bagel w/margarine. For lunch, I had vegan stuffed shells and a roll with some margarine. I've been sipping this C-Boost tropical fruit smoothie (delicious) for a bit, and probably going to have my stuffed pepper in an hour or so.

Hmm wonder what we'll have for dinner? I'm fiending for asparagus....

Oh - and working on my water. I'm at about 1/2 a liter so far. Need to chug it down!

My basic green smoothie is this:
3 cups spinach
1 1/2 cups water
4 dates
probiotic powder
flax meal
banana
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup frozen raspberries (or other frozen fruit)
(right now I have Tahitian noni juice that I'm adding to it)

It's yummy and super healthy.

I normally drink a ton of water, but the past few days, I find I have to REMIND myself to drink water. Weird.

:yeah:

Same here. I used to only drink water. Now for some reason I want juice all the time and I have to conciously drink water!

[Lexi_029]

Oh popsicles, I can't get enough of you.

[DreamsInDigital]

So far today all I've had is 1/4 of a cup of coffee, it was nasty, a big glass of water, leftover barbecued pork on a hoagie roll with cheese (which was good until I was done eating and then I felt horrible) and half of a Pepsi.

[leurMaman]

I am about 80% GF (I don't have an alergy, but operate better when I don't over-do gluten and dairy in my day-to-day life). I had GF bread that I baked yesterday with honey for breakfast. I had another slice for snack. For lunch I had fried rice leftovers. I just ate a GF brownie :( Man it was good though. I also had a latte (decaf) this morning. I'm about to make a big smoothie with protein powder, hemp milk, lowfat yogurt, honey, banana, etc. I'm having a GF pizza for dinner tonight before teaching class.

[Changed]

I am LOVING the light garlic and her laughing cow cheese with crackers. I have no idea why but I want it at all hours. And coffee but that's just normal for me.

I had a sweet tooth today but nothing sweet so we got an ice cream after dinner. I actually skipped dinner and only had ice cream. :lol Moderation?

[ColoradoMama]

I had leftover moussaka, salad, and hummus with rice crackers and carrots stick for dinner. Yummy!

[ibusymomto5]

I'm eating 6 small meals a day as opposed to 3 big ones. Today I had ....

Eggs and Oatmeal
Chicken Quesadilla
Protein Bar
Sesame Beef Stir Fry w/ brown rice
1/2 Baked Chicken Breast & small baked potato
Orange & Skim milk

I'm a big water drinker and get in at least a gallon everyday

[two_sets_of_twins]

I'm definitely too embarrassed to post what I've been eating. :o I don't think it gets much more mainstream when it comes to my diet. I am trying to focus on the Bradley diet though. So I'm trying not to eat any junk (except peanut M&Ms - they have protein!) :lol

[mamaleche]

I'm so glad that this thread is here. I too want to be accountable and love the ideas I'm getting so far from all of you. My three y.o. was vomiting and very much needing to nurse all day. I really wanted and needed to eat but it was hard to get away from him long enough to get enough food in. But here's what it looked like today:
three hard boiled eggs with raisin/walnut toast with flax seed oil
1 banana for snack
two pieces of bread with mayo, avocado, cheddar cheese, pickles(a new favorite)
chix burrito w/o rice from Rubio's
not enough water
3 cups of decaf tea throughout the day
:eat:

Last night for dinner we ended up having vegan stuffed shells (leftovers), bread, and of course a ton of asparagus! I am in love with asparagus. I feel like I could eat it for every meal.

So far today, I'm having a strawberry/mango/banana protein shake. I didn't bring a snack with me (b/c I'm an idiot) so we'll see what kind of morning this is!

Lunch today will be either my stuffed pepper or something else if I feel like running out. We'll see.

Mamaleche - Hope your son is feeling better soon!

ColoradoMama - Is that the moussaka from Veganomicon? Is it good? I was thinking of making it soon...

[nhapmom]

im keeping my food log on my blog. ill come back and post at teh end of each day.

if anyone sees anything on my log that could be healthier (other than the girl scout cookies..hahah) pls. let me know. :)

[NotTheOnlyOne]

so far today I have had a peanut butter and honey sandwich (with wheat bread!!) for breakfast with a glassa of milk and half a banana. I just had a few handfuls of animal cookies for aq snack. I will post at the end of the day to be accountable. I cannot afford to gain to much weight. I am starting this pregnancy at 180!!!! I start the last one at 160!!! gAH!:shy

ColoradoMama - Is that the moussaka from Veganomicon? Is it good? I was thinking of making it soon...

Yes - it's from Veganomicon. It is very good. It is very time consuming though. Next time I will leave out the cinnamon. It was very strong, and I think I'd like it better without it.

This morning I had a Clif bar, some pineapple, and a boiled egg.
For lunch I had corn tortillas, salsa, romaine, and seasoned kidney beans.

Lunch ended up being a veggie sub with lettuce, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, and roasted red peppers - and lots of oil/vinegar. Deeeelicious! Of course, now my pepper is looking at me sadly wondering why I haven't had an appetite for it for 2 days. I just can't explain why I don't want to eat it one bit. I need the protein, damnit!

[DreamsInDigital]

I refuse to disclose what I've eaten in the last 24 hours. Let's just say the words "Pepsi" and "King size Snickers bar" should not be found on a pregnancy diet log.

[Changed]

I'm eating a beef stew lean cuisine, it doesn't get any better than this. :lol

[NotTheOnlyOne]

I just ate......

THREE, yes THREE Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches.

WTH is wrong with me???? :lol

I shouldn't eat for the rest of the day.

[veganmama719]

I just found out today. But so far I am just eating my usual fare:

oatmeal w/ground flax seeds, mixed berries and soy milk for breakfast

homeade carrot-ginger-lentil soup for lunch

red pepper for a snack

whole wheat pasta with tomato-lentil sauce and asparagus for dinner

later I will have some plain pop corn and some berrries with soymilk

[ibusymomto5]

Today is my 1yo's birthday, and I just ate like 4 or 5 spoonfuls of raw cake batter.:o It was YUMMY! I've been having an aversion to sweets for the most part, but man it was good. I know I'll be having a cupcake later too along with Little Ceasar's pizza for supper. I'll try to stick to one slice and have a salad or some veggie sticks with it. I knew I'd be doing bad today, and I have. I did have a healthy breakfast and lunch, though... I'll do better tomorrow.:D

[Changed]

Right now I'm eating three cheese tortillini with chopped chicken, pesto, pine nuts. Not low fat but yummy!

[ColoradoMama]

For dinner I'm making: steamed broccoli with peanut sauce, stir fried green beans, and summer rolls (with spinach, tofu, red pepper, cucumber, carrot, peanuts, avocado, and mango).

[Baby_Cakes]

Dinner last night was one measly smart dog and a a few fries. My appetite is/was totally gone. I think m/s is starting. Last night I woke up in a fit of nausea and this morning I'm feeling borderline pukey.

[weddell]

I want to join!

I had oatmeal with brown sugar and soy milk for breakfast. For lunch I had a big salad with endive, red leaf lettuce, edamame, carrots, red pepper, sun dried tomatoes, and olive oil and vinegar. I also had a half cup or so of left over homemade chili. I don't have dinner plans yet!

[celtic_angel]

Hmm.. taco salad sounds delish! It just happens to be on our menu for tonight, and I can't wait.:eat: So far today I've had oatmeal & eggs, and right now I'm eating stir fry(napa cabbage, carrots, broccoli, & onion) w/ brown rice for lunch. Not sure what snacks I'll have later....

[ibusymomto5]

Not sure how that double posted, lol.

[NotTheOnlyOne]

I have done good today. I had Cheerios for breakfast, chicken nuggests and peaches for lunch (did I mention I do home dayare :lol) and ONE Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich for a snack. I am making a greens (collard and turnip) and cheesy cornbread casserole for dinner. I'll throw in a raw veggie plate with some carrots, celery, peppers and cucumbers to count it a mostly healthy day.

[Baby_Cakes]

Today hasn't been a good day for me :(

I haven't puked but man, I have felt like doodie all day long. For breakfast I did manage to finish my protein shake, but for lunch all I could stomach was a tofutti pizza. I just couldn't bear the thought of any type of fruit or vegetable. So I had the pizza, a snapple, and 4 peanut chews.

I'm really hoping dinner is appealing b/c right now I feel like a total loser!
