February "What Are We Eating" Thread

[Baby_Cakes]

Hey guys, I realized we let this drop once February came, and I need to be held accountable. With my m/s already kicking in, food sucks right now so I'm going to try to post what I eat.

Boca chick'n patty on a bun
some Panera Black Bean Soup (blech, didn't settle right)
pregnancy tea

Cocoa pebbles w/soymilk (again...)

Blech. I had a terrible eating day. Boo.

Alright, guys, your turn! May you fare better than I...

At least you guys are giving me ideas of things to possibly eat.

[NotTheOnlyOne]

a skinny cow ice cream sandwich

a short bread cookie (just one!)

[DawnLasp]

My appetite sucked the last few days, plus i have slow digestion and I feel full faster and it lasts longer. I think maybe m/s is beginning to creep up on me. :( Anyways, here's what I had so far today:

:eat:


Oatmeal w/hemp seeds, ground flax, pecans, cinnamon, raisins, and rice milk
Green Tea
Raspberry Leaf tea
1 banana
Chicken Soup
1 graham cracker
8 oz yogurt


For the rest of the day I plan to eat:

1 orange
1 apple
Dinner (chicken and red swiss chard, maybe some wild saffron rice)

[DawnLasp]

Oh yeah,

Since my appetite been poor, I talked to my husband today about getting some of that hemp protein powder so I can boost my protein without having to eat too much more solid foods. :D

[Changed]

I've had-

granola bar
coffee
chicken wrap
fries
pregnancy tea





I'm actually shocked reading this thread. I guess I had no idea what vegan really meant!

[zoebugsmom]

It hasn't been a good food day. I didn't have morning sickness with my first 2 so I'm kind of in culture shock.

I had:
8 or so wheat thins w/cheddar cheese slices and 25. of an apple
a diet coke from the soda fountain
a medium fry from McDonalds :bag:
some homemade chicken pot pie
water with lemon

Oh, I forgot. I had an apple at lunch, too.

another cup of black tea (2nd press from earlier tea - so less caffeine)

No-pudge Brownies

Chkn cordon blue with creamed spinach and homemade noodles from scratch (that DS and I rolled and made in the afternoon).

chocolate

[Mrshawwk]

Today I had a sprouted wheat bagel for breakfast (sounds gross, but with gobs of butter is actually good). Cottege cheese and potato chips for lunch (I think organic potato chips shouldn't count as potato chips..:) ). For snack I had a cookie, cheese and a bottle of kombucha. I had a bit of roast beef for dinner, then a second dinner of scrambled eggs. Milk and water to drink in the day...not a bad day I guess. I did have another cookie a few minutes ago though. Not much in the way of calories... That's a big problem for me in pregnancy, I just don't want to eat! But at least I didn't feel sick, high ho for that!

[Baby_Cakes]

Ok, I'll post what I ate yesterday.

Peppermint tea
Almonds
6 morningstar chicken strips (barely choked them down)
luna bar
honeydew
water
sour candies
saltines

and...

one FABULOUS baked potato, with margarine, garlic salt, and tofutti sour cream. It was like GOURMET.

My m/s seems to stop around 3:30 or 4. If I take a nap when I get home, it starts back up, but nowhere near as bad as it is in the morning. Today for some reason, I'm feeling ...okay. No signs today. For that I am THANKFUL.

[DawnLasp]

This sucks, it's hard for me to eat. When I got home from work yesterday, I counted that I had only 30 grams of protein for the day. So, I made a protein shake, then had some pasta with kidney beans. I think that probably boosted me up to about 60 or so grams. Between the shake and the pasta with beans, I felt so gross afterwards like I had totally pigged out or something. I had indigestion for the rest of the night, and I had some acid reflux as I was going to bed. I need to find some better ways to get my protein intake to 80 grams/day without feeling like I ate too much. I want to incorporate a hard boiled egg each day, that would help a little. I just don't feel like eating, nothing appetites me, it sucks! I have some totally nutritious kale and red swiss chard in my fridge that I have not been in the mood to eat all week long. :bawl:gloomy::guilty:crap:crying

[Baby_Cakes]

Dawn, I'm struggling with the protein too! Right now I'm struggling with EVERYTHING, but I guess I'm the most concerned about the protein.

I didn't have nausea today! :bgbounce

I did have a total aversion to food, but at least I didn't have the terrible, head to the desk, sucking on sour candy, awful awful nausea I've had for the past 3 days. It was nice to have a little break. :-)

Managed to eat a Boca chicken patty about 20 min ago, but I had to cut it into tiny pieces (and didn't quite finish the whole thing...) and I'm eating a Luna bar now. Add that to the fries I choked down earlier, and we're talking success for me, people! I'm ready for another baked potato for dinner, and maybe some beans or something protein-y on the side. We shall see.

[ibusymomto5]

Today for me...

oatmeal & scrambled eggs, skim milk
brown rice & black beans w/ cheese, lettuce, tomato, 2 corn tortillas
handful of grapes
hot chocolate made with skim milk

That's it so far. I'm feeling hungry and need to go have a healthy snack, but what? Off to find something...


Ended up with a toasted whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and a glass of skim milk. I'm craving milk like crazy these days which is so unlike me.

[Baby_Cakes]

Guys, I'm still misery personified. Yesterday I had a nice nausea free day, but today it's back (not as bad, but it's still there).

And I am in SUCH a foul mood. :angry

Sesame bagel - dry, picked at about 1/3 of it.
Sour candy - 1
Rice - white with some soy sauce. I ate about a forkful, gagged. Threw it out.
Saltines - 3
2 small orange slices
Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein drink - trying to drink this. It's got 19g of protein. I think I need it.

[NotTheOnlyOne]

I decided to start the Best Odds Diet. I cannot, I refuse to gain 30 pounds, but of course I want my baby to get everything he/she needs. I started yesterday and did pretty good. Mainly the key is no refined sugars or grains. I had:

Steel cut oats w/ ground flax and raisins
Whole wheat bread and peanut butter
banana, apple, pineapple, strawberries
salad w/ yellow peppers, cucumber, carrots and tomatoes
black beans and wheat thins
2 eggs w/cheese on a sandwich

doesn't that seem like enough? I was pretty much eating like a junk food junkie. So maybe I'll actually lose a small amount of weight and then I can gain some back.

[momz3]

This list is making me hungry lol

I've been eating Kudos bars...I love the snickers one...

bottled water

and I love quesadilla burgers

and I have a guilty pleasure for cheese nips.

thats about it lol

[nhapmom]

so far....
Feb. 8

2 cups coffee

2 pkgs. oatmeal

raw milk (thats all i drink)

2 chix tortillas w/ black beans

raw milk

large orange

2 handfulls of peanuts

diet soda (bad!)

i boiled 6-8 eggs at once (i heard of a great easy way to boil eggs from Martha Stewart once...you put the eggs in a pot of water...boil. turn the water off..come back later and refrigerate...believe it or not this has never failed for me!).
i keep eggs in the fridge and down at least 2 a day (i try to anyway)

im doing the Brewers diet so really trying to keep the protein up but im still sooo sooo tired.

[ibusymomto5]

My ww bagel w/ peanut butter did NOT sit well yesterday afternoon. I now have a strong aversion to peanut butter which is just as well I guess. I've been pretty nauseous today and have no appetite. I could barely get down my oatmeal and eggs this morning and have only had 1 cup of milk so far today. I had more brown rice, beans, & cheese w/ lettuce & tomato and corn tortillas for lunch again today. That kind of hit the spot but then the nausea came right back a little while after I finished eating. I also had a protein bar this afternoon, and spaghetti, sauteed squash & spinach and ww garlic toast is planned for supper.

[AutumnMelody]

Well, I'm not yet 100% sure I belong here (waiting for a test to arrive in the mail, or maybe just waiting until eventually a baby is born, or not), but I figure I'll play along for now!

You have to keep in mind that we are doing SCD right now, and not tolerating a lot of foods. We are still early on so it's a lot of meat. I'm really, really missing variety in veggies too. I'm not sure what I'll end up doing about that.

Today:
2 small home-made sausage patties
1/2 avocado
home-made electrolyte drink (water, baking soda, sea salt, honey and a splash of organic grape juice)
steak
baked pears (just peeled pears cooked in a tiny bit of water)
Lots of spinach and some more sausage patties with different seasoning this time
lemon balm/rrl infusion
1/2 a banana
2 spoonfuls of coconut cream
lots of water

[Tiger Lily]

Fresh fruit (especially grapefruit)
Fruit smoothies
Yogurt and frozen berries (if I put them together and stick in the fridge for half an hour the yogurt thickens, so the consistency is like frozen yogurt :thumb)
Eggs and toast
Salad with added protein--chicken, cheese, nuts, etc.

[Baby_Cakes]

A little better today, but I still didn't get much food down. I did get up at around noon though.

Multigrain Cheerios w/soymilk & 1/2 a sliced banana
a few saltines
2 cups of chocolate soymilk
a handful of animal crackers
Optimum Slim organic cereal w/soymilk
a few bites of the BEST pickle I've ever eaten :Bow

Going to have grilled "cheese" and tomato soup for dinner.

[AutumnMelody]

More home-made sausages, this time with a little honey and different spices. I'm glad DH is shopping tomorrow, I'm really sick of these!

lots of green beans with a lemony sauce

1.5 bananas over the course of the day

2 cups of mint tea

grape "jello" (gelatin and organic grape juice)

A little bit of steak

A lot a bit of watercress :eat: tasted really, really good to me today!

carrots roasted in coconut oil with sea salt- also really yummy

just over a qt of lemon balm and RRL infusion

a couple spoonfuls of coconut cream

Cod liver oil

water

[ibusymomto5]

Today so far I've had:

eggs & whole wheat pancakes, 16oz skim milk
stuffed bell pepper - yum!
fresh organic spinach w/ lemon juice

For supper we're having:

baked chicken breast, broccoli, homemade whole wheat bread

Snacks:

yogurt
all bran crackers

orange
walnuts

Plus about a gallon of water & a cup of rrl tea

All that gets me close to 100gms protein for the day.:)

[TaraRae82]

Right now, since I haven't hit the m/s stage, I'm eating my normal diet. I have about 2000 cals a day since I burn about 3000 (1950 basal, 900 from working out). I eat every 2-3 hours and foods include Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal, yogurt fruit smoothies, Kashi protein bars, tortillas with melted cheese, lots of milk, Healthy Choice Panini's, and then a salad and a main dish for dinner. I normally have a bowl of ice cream too because I refuse to give up ice cream! It's my fave food.

I'm having a difficult time with the limitations of pregnancy eating though. When I eat steak, I eat it medium-rare to medium and I eat a lot of seafood so I can get my protein w/o having to eat a lot of other meat (not a huge fan of meat). I can't have either of these things!! I'm not a fan of chicken, pork, or turkey so this is really difficult for me. I get most of my protein from dairy products or Kashi products and I know it's not enough.

I figure if I have m/s, I'll just eat whatever I can keep down and not worry about what it is. I've been talking to my Doula about ways to keep m/s at bay too.

[Baby_Cakes]

These past two days have been okay. I find that when I do get hungry, I still have to eat slowly and see how I feel after and while I'm eating. No nausea doesn't mean I'm home free!

Yesterday was a good day. I had cereal for breakfast, some chocolate soymilk, soup for lunch, and I went to the gym. So that was good. I went out to dinner with my best friend and had a few bites of a portabello mushroom sandwich, so that was awesome. I was able to eat!

Today has been eh. I was okay this morning, but then got really repulsed by food so I had:

Saltines
banana
animal crackers - BAD IDEA. These are just too sweet.
Yves veggie turkey on rye with mustard - didn't settle right, but I ate it.
cantaloupe

I felt really sick after lunch. Like, I was pretty close to letting it come up, but I held it down.

All I wanted after that was frosting. You know, like Duncan Hines chocolate frosting from the can? So...I've had about 4 spoonfuls of the stuff. I give up!

[Baby_Cakes]

How come I'm the only one posting my crappy food intake? C'mon girls!

Peppermint tea
Saltines
Morningstar "chicken" strips (23 g protein! Woo Hoo!)
2 oranges
Mike & Ikes :(
bbq pringles (boo)
2 homemade cupcakes - delicious!

Not sure about dinner. Will have to be something nutritious after the disaster that was today! :lol

[DreamsInDigital]

So far I've eaten exactly nothing today. It's coming up on 4pm and I'm sooooo ill.

[DawnLasp]

My poor appetite and indigestion has turned into nausea! I haven't barfed yet, thank god! It's hard enough for me to eat anything at all now, and I would probably cry over the toilet bowl :bawl if I barfed up all my hard work. :inthet I can only eat easily digestible foods, and I have aversions to everything else.

Here's what I've eaten today so far:


cookies & cream protein shake for breakfast
carrots :carrot
2 celery stalks (really helped with my nausea!)
2 cinnamon graham crackers
apple
banana :banana
2 handfuls of raw organic non-salted almonds
yogurt
water
green tea
raspberry leaf tea


now, I'm actually craving a turkey burger! I was in a meeting at work, and the conference door was open, and I heard someone say "mmm, turkey burger", and I've wanted one ever since! That was like 2 hours ago, and guess what I'll be eating for dinner! :eat: Thank god I heard those words because I have aversions to all other meats and fishes right now, and I desperately need the protein...

[farmerjess]

I want to add here because I am so grateful that i can still eat pretty normally, though I felt so bad today that i don't know how long I'll be able to keep it up:

bf: eggs and toast
snack: tahini and honey sandwich
lunch: some salad, broccoli, baked sweet potato and a few bites of chicken
snack: lots of brown rice crackers
dinner: chicken thigh and a sweet potato.
snack: pear
snack: peanut butter and honey on toast

i am craving CARBS and more CARBS. and fruit. not so much protein or veggies :(

[Tiger Lily]

I've got to get rid of the huge slab of chocolate birthday cake we have sitting around here. I've only managed to eat one slice/day which is unusual for me (usually I'd be picking at it all day), but I don't want to even be eating that much!

So far today:

BF: a nectarine and an oz of almonds
Lunch: 1/2 Chipotle chicken burrito bol with guac.
Snack: chocolate cake and a glass of 2% milk

Now I'm sort of queasy. I think I'll wait and have dinner after yoga. I'm thirsty more than anything, even though I'm drinking water all day.

[iamleabee]

i'm really wanting salmon for the last several days. today i had salmon salad AND lox (sort of like salt-cured salmon). yesterday i had sushi with brown rice, avocado and salmon.

do you think eating so much salmon is bad? i think the fatty acids would be good but i'm not sure about the mercury content. what do you guys think?

(ps--if it's really awful don't tell me because i already ate it)

eta: mmmm....all this talk about salmon makes me really want some right now!!!

[Tiger Lily]

Oooh, I completely forgot about the fish-mercury thing and had a halibut filet for dinner tonight. I seem to recall the issue is more with predatory fish like swordfish and tilefish though???

[ibusymomto5]

Here's mine today:

B- oatmeal & 2 eggs + skim milk
L- raw organic spinach w/ fresh lemon juice & homemade chicken noodle soup

Supper will be beans & rice, cornbread and salad w/ milk to drink

Snacks will be a protein shake this afternoon after my workout, and then probably my bedtime snack of bran flakes, 1/2 banana and skim milk.

[farmerjess]

I just got back from a visit to my naturopath and here's what he recommended to combat m/s:

eat a PROTEIN snack EVERY HOUR. yes, EVERY HOUR!!
give up all white carbs and simple sugars and limit fruits.
eat plenty of whole grains and veggies.
resist the urge to eat carbs/fruit/junk for snacks instead of protein.

I am going to try this because i feel like m/s is taking me over. He claims that in 3 days it should be pretty much all gone. I already had 2 snacks in the last 2 hours (string cheese then cheese and crackers) and I really am feeling better. :eat: This is going to be so hard at work! I think i will bake or fry up a block of tofu to snack on all day.

[casemnor]

I've been ravenous today. Ridiculously so.

Amongst other things I've eaten today, I've eaten a bag of kettle corn and a bag of prawn crackers. And a granola bar, and a healthy choice meal for lunch...oh and two chocolate digestives and a small lychee jelly.

I feel revolting.

[Baby_Cakes]

Farmerjess, I didn't realize it but that's what I was doing and my m/s is much better than it was last week. Although at times all I want is saltines, if I force myself to eat protein it does actually work. Don't forget about nuts - see if you can get some almonds to keep at work.

Today was a nausea free day! Woo hoo!

Orange
Chunky Savory Vegetable soup w/ crackers
a few pieces of a chocolate bar (so good)
Boca Chick'n patty on a bun with ketchup
another orange

Hmm, I didn't eat anywhere near enough food today. No bother, I'll more than make up for it at home, lol!

[myrmom]

not much nausea here...mostly hunger pangs every two hours....

breakfast
a bowl of rice crispies with 1% milk

snack
apple slices
cheese
crackers

Lunch
roast pork sandwich
Milk

snack
half a veggie salami sandwich

snack
grapes

[DawnLasp]

Yeah, that turkey burger I was totally craving yesterday nearly made me hurl, and I had to pick off all the onions, normally I love onions.:(

Today I ate:

french toast for breakfast
almonds
yogurt
banana
graham crackers
celery with dip


I plan on eating a protein shake later, and a baked potato.

[heidirk]

Today I ate...

Eggs and toast in butter(aversion to olive oil?)
Lots of coffee...
a prune

ummmm...

a kamut cake
garlic paneer bread with cheese
another prune

another kamut cake

two chocolate chip cookies
more coffee...

sweet sausage and a huge dark green salad with pinenuts, carrots and ranch dressing.


did good on m water today.

I need to find my Bradley food charts, and track my protien...

I too have been ravenous today...:eat:

[Changed]

Me too! I start feeling a little hungry and like, 5 minutes later I could eat a house.

We just got back from dinner. I was craving steak soooo much and it really hit the spot. I had prime rib with horseradish dip and an amazing salad.

[TaraRae82]

The Brewer Diet is what is recommended by most midwives. The website is listed in my thread "Websites recommended by my Doula." It looks like a great nutrition plan! There's even a checklist of foods to mark off everyday that you can print.

[ibusymomto5]

The Brewer Diet is the one I've been following. I printed off a bunch of the checklists, and it definitely helps to track things.


So far today I've had...

B - Scrambled eggs, oatmeal, skim milk

L- Beans, brown rice, cornbread w/ butter, spinach salad w/ lemon juice, skim milk

Snacks - not sure what these will be just yet...

Supper- B-que Chicken Breasts on the grill, sauteed squash, steamed broccoli, homemade whole wheat bread, skim milk


I'm so looking forward to supper. I'm actually craving the veggies.

[Amber Lion]

And I think this is right up my alley! I've got a diet diary pinned to my fridge that I'm writing everything down on, but this would be one more motivation to make sure I'm eating well. So I'm reviving this thread! :)

So far today I've eaten:

2 fried eggs on bagel w/an orange and licorice tea for breakfast
plain Greek yogurt w/cucumber, sunflower seeds, and Omega 369 oil on crackers for lunch
pistachios & glass of milk as a snack
tons of water!

and I need to decide what I'm having for dinner!

:D

[Baby_Cakes]

I'm just not eating enough. I have little to no appetite. Half the time, I make something or get something, and end up taking a bite or two before just being "done with it". What do I do??!!

[Amber Lion]

Is it something you can push through, like, I'm really not wanting to eat this right now but I'm going to anyways? Or is it m/s I'm really done with this gonna throw up if I force myself kind of thing?

:hug So far I haven't had any ill feelings and my appetite has been ravenous, so don't know what to tell you really.

[Baby_Cakes]

Is it something you can push through, like, I'm really not wanting to eat this right now but I'm going to anyways? Or is it m/s I'm really done with this gonna throw up if I force myself kind of thing?

:hug So far I haven't had any ill feelings and my appetite has been ravenous, so don't know what to tell you really.

Sometimes I can force it down, but most of the time, it's like - I can feel my throat just closing up and my stomach saying "No!" and churning. I haven't actually thrown up yet, I think mostly b/c I listen to my stomach when that happens, LOL.

It's better than it was. But I still can't open my fridge. The smells in there are enough to make me run from the room! DH says its just a mild garlic smell, though - it's this superhuman nose, I tell you!

[Skrimpy]

Hmm I like this being held accountable for what I eat:

Breakfast: omelette made for me by the sweetie with eggs, tomatoe, mushrooms, cheese, and onion. Scoop of rice with butter.

Lunch: Beans and rice, Jamaican style (my fav bean recipe), salad, avacado slices.

Supper: Huge salad w/ diced cucumber, carrot, red pepper, green onion, cheese, and sunflower seeds. Salad tossed with olive oil and white wne vinegar. A bowl of minestrone soup (made with rice noodles) garnished with cheese.

Snack: Milk about 20oz now and hoping to finish off 12 more oz here soon. Try to drink this during the day but forgot about it. Drink 32oz a day.

Treat: Milk Way (guilty as charged)

I need to work on getting in higher protein snacks. I'm having huge bouts of nausea but no vomiting and still able to eat at meals.

[myrmom]

yesterday

a piece of toast with peanut butter
yogurt
hot turkey sandwitch with mash potatoes and gravey and stuffing
some of my sons fries
hummus and pita

today so far
yogurt with nuts in it
a bun toasted with peanut butter and honey(i couldn't resist the honey today)

[Baby_Cakes]

Nausea. Bad, bad, nausea. :Puke

Toast with margarine and jam
cup of soymilk
NAP
pregancy tea w/agave nectar
sour patch kids - like, half a bag, yikes
mashed potatoes and gravy
bolthouse farms perfectly protein drink

Going to make crunchy tacos tonight. I need to eat something and this is the only thing appealing to me. Well, that and fried rice -- but I don't feel like ordering a buttload of chinese and having it stink up my house!

[Skrimpy]

Breakfast: omelette made by my sweetie w/ ham, cheese, onion, mushrooms, tomato (I get spoiled on the weekends), 1 slice of rice/almond bread spread with butter.

Snack: 16oz (whole) milk

Lunch: Baked potato w/ bacon, butter, salt, sour cream, cheese. I couldn't eat the salad so...

Snack: side salad w/ sunflower seeds, green onions, red pepper, cheese - over romaine lettuce.

Supper: Mexican soup, taco salad made w/ corn tortilla chips, refried beans, seasoned ground beef, black olives, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. Also had a side salad. Couldn't quite finish the taco salad so I may eat the rest of that and have a glass of milk as a before bed snack.

Knowing I was going to post here made me resist another milky way :lol I got four for Valentine's day so I'll space them out :lol

And just a note, our meals are always gluten free unless I'm craving a sub for myself or something, because DP has celiac and can't tolerate wheat/gluten.

[elspethshimon]

Breakfast: Trader Joe's breakfast casserole (apples, chicken sausage, cornbread).

Lunch: left over pasta w/ turkey meatballs

Dinner: sopa de lima (tomato soup flavored w/ garlic, cumin, and lime juice) garnished with jack cheese and tortilla chips.

I'll probably have a tangerine later.


Not a super healthy day, but we've stocked up on eggs and yogurt for next week.

[triple07]

2 Cheese sticks
Steak omlette
Peanuts
12 glasses of water
1 glass of tang (thats right... tang)
few bites of Spanish rice
few bites of chicken mole
Lemon cookie (those girl scout cookies are the devil lol)

I havent been able to eat a whole lot. The nausea is killing me. I always FEEL hungry but then when I start to eat, I get sick... this stinks!

[elspethshimon]

1 glass of tang (thats right... tang)


Are you trying to grow an astronaut?

[Amber Lion]

Breakfast: Eggs Benedict with mock hollandaise sauce, fake canadian bacon, and avocado. Potatoes, bell pepper, and onions on the side.

Snack: Glass of milk, pistachios, bannana

Lunch: Homemade chimmichangas with flour tortillas, cheese, homemade refried beans, cabbage and more avocado

We had a late start, so not sure if I'm going to eat much more than another snack, but I'm sure I'll get hungry again! I feel like I'm eating all the freakin' time, but then when I look at a list like that it doesn't seem like enough!

[triple07]

Are you trying to grow an astronaut?

lol, i havent drinken it since i was like 7 and then met dh and he LOVES it and there is less acidy taste than orange juice lol

[triple07]

Lunch: Homemade chimmichangas with flour tortillas, cheese, homemade refried beans, cabbage and more avocado

now im drooling on the computer!

[Amber Lion]

:lol MMMMM, they were So good too! :p

But really, homemade refried beans are SO easy, we'll never eat store bought again!

[Baby_Cakes]

I feel like a champion! I just ate one and a half tacos! I kept them down! Woo hoo! I also had a few spoonfuls of chocolate ice cream (vegan, of course) and I feel full now. I almost threw up 3 times but I managed to keep it all down - AND I ran the dishwasher! Woo hoo!

[nhapmom]

[birthdancedoula]

Yesterday I had a pretty decent eating day but I have a feeling that today won't be that great cause all I have a taste for at this point it potato chips.:o

Yesterday I had...
scrambled tofu with oven fried potato wedges
berry smoothie
kombucha tea w/ ginger

veggie sushi
vegan chocolate chip cookie (hey, I gotta keep my glucose levels up, right?:D)
Clif bar

big, garden salad
bow-tie pasta w/ broccoli and vegan chicken

I'm heading to whole foods in a while to pick up some stuff for smoothies. I've never been able to make a decent smoothie but I'm going to give it another shot. Any great ideas or recipes?

Bananas, strawberries, and pineapple work great for me. I just throw them in the blender with some soymilk and maybe protein powder and/or water for consistency.

[LoveLife]

Here's today for me:

Breakfast: Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal (1 pkg)
Lunch: I'll have leftover meatloaf and rice pilaf (ate all the peas last night with dinner)
Dinner: Plans are roast, with onion, carrots and mashed potatoes
I might snack on a few grapes when I get home.

I'll also probably splurge and eat either a browine or a couple girl scout cookies before bed.

Well, I thought I was eating a lot this weekend, but this doesn't seem like much... and I'm not sure I ate more than usual. I'll have to try and remember what I ate this weekend and write it down.

Hmmm, when I made smoothies while trying to get some calories in, I would put a teaspoon on Coconut Oil in. Gave it a really good flavor/texture too. Also, just some really good fruits that you like, either fresh frozen, or buy fresh and freeze yourself, add some juice, water, whatever liquid you like and blend. They might also have smoothie powder. Im not sure where would sell that but it gives it an awesome flavor. I LOVED the ones I got at Whole Foods in California. There is no such thing in San Angelo, TX... :(

[TaraRae82]

I'm heading to whole foods in a while to pick up some stuff for smoothies. I've never been able to make a decent smoothie but I'm going to give it another shot. Any great ideas or recipes?

I use a 6-8oz container of yogurt, a whole banana and about a 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, about a 1/4c of milk and then fill blender with ice. Blend and enjoy. It makes 2 servings worth for me. Very yummy and thick enough to give you something to chew but thin enough you could get it through a straw. :)

[Changed]

I got a ton of fruit and cut a lot of it up in teeny pieces and froze it all. I figured that way I can just take when I need from a baggie instead of cutting it all up at 7 am. I got yogurt and milk too. I wondered about frozen yogurt. That sounds yummier to me albeit not as healthy. I also got honey and liquid chlorophyll to add to it. I'm going to give raw egg yolks a shot since they're a whole food protein unlike powders.

We had rotisserie chicken breast (skinless) with avocado and tomato in flour tortillas for lunch. Thank the gods, for now the nausea is gone.

[Baby_Cakes]

Little to no nausea today for me, which is a HUGE difference from yesterday. Couldn't find much that I wanted to eat though, bummer.

large glass of chocolate soymilk
2 mini bagels with herbs & chives Better Than Cream Cheese
1/2 bean burrito
few tortilla chips
2 sour candies

I bought tater tots last night at the store and I'm so looking forward to eating them with a ton of salt and ketchup. Right now it's the only thing I can even remotely think about eating for dinner, lol.

[TaraRae82]

Today I've had:

oatmeal, 2c milk
2 eggs, 1 with yolk, 1 w/o, 2 pieces whole grain bread, and 2 slices of cheese....egg sandwich. I really enjoyed it! Yum. I haven't had one in forever.
TONS of water of course!

I've found that I won't need to eat as much as the Brewer diet suggests because the labels on my food show the serving sizes to have WAY more protein that what they guesstimate. :) That's good because I just can't eat that much!

[Changed]

I tried the brewer diet... it's hard to manage and I've known people who gained a TON on it. I can't fathom that happening with you but it is a lot of food to put away. I'm trying to just pay attention to how much protein I eat and later on, I'll be more careful to get more if I'm not getting enough.

[TaraRae82]

^It seems to be pretty close to what I'm already eating so I'm not worried about gaining crazy weight, especially since I'm teaching 10-12 classes a week right now. But, thanks for sharing the weight concern. I didn't really even think about it. My Doula just said this is the diet that most mw's recommend so I thought it'd be awesome. Like I said, I won't have to eat as much as it says since my labels are showing a lot more protein in a serving than what the diet guesstimates. Thank goodness! I wonder if others have gained lots of weight because they assumed they knew how large a serving size was (most people way underestimate) and they were wrong or the diet incorrectly guessed the amount of protein so they ate more than necessary?

[Changed]

Well, if you think about it it's very hard to get that much protein without a pretty good amount of fat also. Working out 12 times a week, I would imagine whatever you gain is what your baby and body truly NEED. I was a SAHM and not exercising at all when I was doing it. I didn't really stick with it, I modified it because it was hard and too much food. A lot that I didn't like.

You're really lucky to be starting out with such a healthy lifestyle. I bet your birth will be easy peasy. :)

[elspethshimon]

Today was much healthier!

Breakfast: protein bar (and I thought I was going to vomit, I think I need to get some Luna or lara bars)

Second breakfast: whole milk yogurt and granola

Lunch: whole grain toast, turkey, cheese wedge

snack: carrots and roasted red pepper hummus, also tortilla chips

dinner: home made pizza with red peppers and onions

I am also going to boil a bunch of eggs.


I want to buy one of those egg "circles" so I can make McD's-like breakfast sandwiches.

[Baby_Cakes]

I just woke up from a 2 hour nap and I can't wait for those tater tots. Chris is making the most elaborate and garlic-y smelling sauce, and I just want him out of the kitchen so I can make them. :demon

Hey guys, do you know any way to get a husband to stop making really fragrant, pungent, and non-appealing food? I've tried asking. I've stopped eating the food. But for the past few days, he's been making new and old recipes that take forever, and smell so pungent that I need to physically smell lemons so I don't start gagging, and there is no WAY I can eat them. He sure has been enjoying his dinners, though. I just hate being rude about it, lol.

[TaraRae82]

Baby_Cakes, tell him the food he's making is upsetting the baby........guilt trips always work!

[Amber Lion]

Breakfast: "Hiker" bagel (all the toppings: garlic, sesame, poppy, etc.) with peanut butter and an orange

Snack: Banana & pistachio nuts

Lunch: Leftovers of linguini, wheat based fake sausages, rainbow chard & tomato sauce

Snack: Yogurt

Dinner: Garlic mashed potatoes with nutritional yeast gravy & tofu and cabbage/carrot coleslaw.

I'm currently doing a 5 day diet diary to see how well I'm managing to get all the nutrients I need according to Anne Frye's lacto-ovo veggie diet. I think I'm doing ok, but will need to up the protein!!! Even though I've been super hungry, it's still hard to eat this much! I feel like I'm constantly in the kitchen.

[TaraRae82]

I had leftover chili for dinner with a small glass of milk (yes, I drink a LOT of milk). I need to add up the protein I've had for the day. I was doing pretty good but I'm pretty sure I didn't hit 100 for the day. I'm thinking I've had closer to maybe 75 or 80.

[heidirk]

I did the brewer diet, and it worked well, for me. I'm 5'10" and I gained 30 lbs. DS was 9lbs, 5ozs of that!


Today I ate eggs, cheese, turkey ham and bacon on a tortilla for breakfast.

French fries, just a few,

leftover beef stroganoff for lunch

a coke and a grilled chicken sandwich for dinner

and a few peices of cheese.
and a few cups of coffee.

sigh....it hasn't been the best day in the balanced nutrition department...

DS just woke up and yarked his french fries up all over DH and himself:Puke
I hope I don't get sick from them too!

[triple07]

Steak fajita and steak quesadilla. Mmmmm, so good!

[Skrimpy]

Lets see, yesterday was an odd day because we overslept in the morning and then I was feeling incredibly nauseous at supper time. And I didn't end up getting in my 2 eggs at all :(

Breakfast: Peanut butter spread on rice/almond bread slices (2), banana

Snack: 16oz milk

Lunch: Homemade spaghetti sauce w/ ground turkey over rice noodles. Steamed okra w/ butter.

Snack: 8oz milk and my leftover taco salad and mexican soup from night before.

Supper: Guilty as charged!! Box of Annie's mac and cheese b/c I couldn't stomach the thought of eating at supper so DP fried ham for the kids and himself. I ate the mac and cheese later.

Later snack: 8oz milk.

Then after eating that mac and cheese I felt fine and was able to chop and bag all my veggies for the week and thin slice six raw chicken breasts and marinate for me + DP, the kids, a friend, and her daughter to have a sesame chicken lunch today....go figure....I don't get why my nausea is ALWAYS worse around supper time. It was like this with the boys too, I've never had "morning" sickness in my last two (now three it appears) pregnancies...

[elspethshimon]

Supper: Guilty as charged!! Box of Annie's mac and cheese b/c I couldn't stomach the thought of eating at supper so DP fried ham for the kids and himself. I ate the mac and cheese later.



That was my celebratory lunch last week! I love boxed macaroni and cheese and I am so glad that Annie's and Whole Foods/365 have some that isn't quite as scary as Kraft.

[Skrimpy]

Lol yes, as I was sheepishly slinking past DP to the kitchen with my box o' mac and cheese (he can't eat wheat lol) I comforted myself knowing that at least I'd bought Annie's and it was real cheese :lol

[ibusymomto5]

I sort of fell off the Brewer diet wagon over the weekend, in the evenings anyway. My nausea has been SUPER bad in the evenings, and 4 nights in a row now I caved and just ate what sounded good for supper(chinese, burgers & fries, pizza, and hot dogs). Yes, all super unhealthy and fattening choices, but they tasted so good at the time that I didn't even care. At least I didn't pig-out on any of it. I think my dh and kids are loving my spur of the moment cravings, because they love eating out, lol. It's been kind of like a vacation for them. The bad part is that I'm feeling bloated now as a result of my bad eating in the evenings the last few days. I also didn't exercise for the last few days either, so I'm sure that's part of it too. Can't wait till this nausea goes away!!

I'm trying to do better today with eating and will try to get in a walk later. All in all I think the Brewer diet and exercise will work good for me if I can just stick with it. If it weren't for the nausea, it's really a pretty easy diet for me to follow. I'm typically not a picky eater and love most all veggies, including green leafy ones, so that helps. I get most of my protein from chicken, fish, beans, and occasionally lean beef, so I haven't found it an overly fattening diet to follow. I drink skim milk and shy away from cheese and nuts/nut butters that are more fatty. So far, my weight gain is only 1 1/2lbs, so something must be working. Typically I would've already gained 5-10lbs by this point.

[Baby_Cakes]

Going out on a limb here, but does anyone know or have the fortified soymilk recipe from the Brewer diet? Blueribbonbaby is down and I just wanted to know what it is.

I did okay with eating today. 2 mini bagels, about 1/2 a tofutti pizza, some coca cola (I know, but major craving) and about 3/4 lb cut up cantaloupe. Not bad, not bad. I'll probably have peppermint tea in a bit. Oh, and I did have a cup of decaf coffee this morning.

[LoveLife]

Ok, so far so good.

Yesterday I did end up eating a few (very few) Doritos. Those Smokin Cheddar BBQ are good! Anyway, I also ate a brownie. I think those are gone now. Thank goodness!

Anyway, today to far I've had:

Breakfast: 1 pkg Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Snack: One piece of chocolate (dark chocolate, like a Hershey square size, but not Hershey)

Lunch: Leftover roast beef, mashed potatoes and cooked carrots. There was some gravy on the potatoes.

So far I've had 5 1/2 glasses of water. Hopefully I'll hit eight by the time I leave work.

Dinner I plan to eat either tacos or breakfast (as in totally unhealthy pancakes and sausage. LOL.)

Maybe a couple girl scout cookies as a before bed snack. I'll try to skip those though.

[Changed]

I just ate half of a frozen california pizza kitchen magerita pizza. Good god, those things are good. Good thing they're small. Too bad the calories don't match the size. I guesstimated about 450 calories.

[elspethshimon]

My husband took the rest of the chickpea-quinoa pilaf with peas that was leftover from the weekend and I was hoping to have that for lunch.

So far:

Breakfast: two scrambled eggs, tea with a splash of milk

Second breakfast: peanut butter on whole grain toast

Elevenses: chicken salad on whole grain toast, carrots

Still to go:

Luncheon: tortilla chips w/hummus

Tea: Tea w/a splash of milk

Dinner: chicken sausages, green beans, orzo salad with pasturized feta

Supper: maybe some more cheese or some edamame

[TaraRae82]

I'm really having a hard time finding food that sounds good to eat. So, I ate pretty much the same thing I ate yesterday.

2 pieces of whole grain toast with butter and some preserves
egg sandwich with large glass of milk
Kashi protein bar and a small glass of milk
TONS of water!

Dinner is yet to be decided. DH had a root canal today (poor baby! :( ) so he needs to eat something soft and I'm just not that hungry. I may hard boil a couple eggs or something for me.

[Amber Lion]

Brekkers: 2 fried eggs on 2 pieces of 7 grain toast with butter and some chai tea with milk

Snack: An apple & a banana

Lunch: Miso soup with melted cheddar cheese on a hiker bagel

Snack: An orange, pistachio nuts, and licorice tea with milk

Dinner: Rice with nutritional yeast gravy, tofu, rainbow chard and homemade naan

Will probably have some more naan with peanut butter later on tonight cause I got lots of studying to do!

[farmerjess]

Who came up with calling it morning sickness? Mine is 3-8pm sickness.

I feel like writing up what I ate today (I eat A LOT!!):

7 am: 2 TB cottage cheese, handful of dried cereal
8 am: bowl of grits, soy milk shake with protein powder
10:00: 1 pear
10:15-12:00: peanut butter and honey sammich, very slowly
2:00: 1/2 cup yogurt, cheese and crackers, carrot sticks
5:00: cheese and tortilla
6:30: so nauseous, cup of ginger lemon tea
7:30 red lentil and veggie soup, piece of toast

I got in a pretty good amount of protein today. I really wish that I could stomach more vegetables. The red lentil soup was very belly settling.

[Tiger Lily]

I'm starting to have a hard time finding things that sound good as well.

Breakfast: Granola bar
Lunch: Minestrone, Salad, a couple of breadsticks (Olive Garden)
Snack: A bowl of granola cereal with milk
Dinner: No idea. I think I'm just going to feed the kids leftovers and find something after Yoga.

[triple07]

i was so happy that i had chicken soup (about 4 bowls) w/o the nastyness of looking in the toilet, but then... like five minutes after eating dinner (another bowl... chicken soup seems to be the only appettising thing to me ATM) i got all sick again :(

[iamleabee]

basically no appetite all day. then at about 7pm i got RAVENOUS and ate half a crab pretzel and leftover thai food. and some chocolate. :eyesroll

[Baby_Cakes]

I ended up with tater tots for dinner again. Chris used up all the milk, and didn't even THINK that maybe I would need something light for dinner, like cereal. Grr. I could have pounded him! Tomorrow will have to be a better food day. :(

[TaraRae82]

Today has NOT been good for eating. I'm just not hungry, at all. I know I need to eat but I just can't find anything worth eating! It's not even because I'm nauseous, I'm not. I'm just not hungry. :(

10oz milk
Kashi cereal with milk

That's it. I can't believe that's all I've eaten today. I know it's not healthy.

[lovemysunshine]

So far today:

mug of decaf Earl Grey tea
1 hard-boiled egg, ate very little of the yolk though
big bowl of pasta with pasta sauce (yum!)
lots of water
a few grapes

I'm making chicken pot pie for dinner.

I haven't gotten any m/s yet, but I'm only 4.5 weeks so I'm waiting for it. . .

[LoveLife]

Well, today hasn't been bad so far.

Breakfast: a bowl of Raisin Bran
Lunch: Leftover roast, mashed potatoes & cooked carrots (again)

And... that's been it. I'm just not very hungry.

Although I am craving CHOCOLATE right now. I just stuck a piece of gum in my mouth to try and ward off the craving. We'll see, I'm really wanting it right now. I just keep telling myself its not worth it where there are so many other things I should be eating.

[ibusymomto5]

What I've had today...


Breakfast - Kashi blueberry waffles and skim milk

Lunch - Lean steak, tater tots, spinach, skim milk

I need to go eat a snack now, but I'm pretty nauseous and nothing sounds good at all. I may just boil an egg or two, since I didn't have any for breakfast.

Supper is supposed to be homemade chicken noodle soup. Thank goodness for my older girls who love to cook from scratch, because I'm not diggin' cooking anything right now.

[triple07]

So far today:

2 starburst (mmm pina colado)... not 2 packs... just 2 individuals lol
About 1 cup Terra Chips
Bowl Amy's Organic Pesto Tortellini

Later Im making spaghetti squash, chicken, and rice. Lets see if it still sounds good later...

[Baby_Cakes]

Steel cut oats w/bananas and agave nectar
Rye bread toast with earth balance
Pasta salad, with kidney beans, chickpeas, and sauteed mushrooms
Luna bar
Optimum slim cereal w/soymilk

I'm hoping I can make a V-BLT or two for my dinner...meaning, I hope I still want that after I make it, lol!

[Amber Lion]

It's not even because I'm nauseous, I'm not. I'm just not hungry. :(


This has SO been me today! I'm just completely not hungry, but I've made myself eat a bit more than you. :hug

Steel cut oats w/bananas and agave nectar


OOOOOOHHHHHH! I LOVE agave nectar!!!!!! :drool

So far today:

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, 1 piece 7 grain toast w/peanut butter and glass of milk

Lunch: Rice with nutritional yeast gravy

Snack: Banana

And I still have to figure out what to force down for dinner. Nothing sounds good! I think I'll try some lentil soup, if I don't want to eat anything I might as well eat something good for me. :wink

[farmerjess]

7: bowl of whole grain cereal with soymilk
8: small bowl of steel cut oats with honey
10: string cheese
11: 3 TB of cottage cheese
11:30-1:00 pm: 3/4 peanut butter and honey sandwich
1:30: LO lentil soup
2:30-3:30: 1/4 sandwich
5:30:1/2 cup yogurt with raisins
6:30: 1 pear
7:00: 1 piece of toast
7:15: small piece of salmon and some brown rice

I swear if I don't eat this frequently, I feel really sick. I felt so sick by 5:30 I thought I was going to lose it (hurl) and I think it made me feel sick for the rest of the night till dinner. ugh, I never really realized how hard this would be...:dizzy:

[Mamatolea]

Ok, jumping on here!

I have had VERY intense nausea and vomiting, I weighed less to start with this baby than I did after my daughter's birth, then I lost 10 lbs my first visit from Dec to Jan and I have another visit tomorrow where I am sure I will have lost another 10lbs at least..

My protein is BAD and now my cravings are HORRIBLE! This week was terrible, so I won't get into that..lol

Anyways, I am doing the sneaky chef right now and spent a couple of hours today(trying not to puke while smelling the veggies being pureed..ick) and am hoping that I can incorporate the veggie purees into the food I can stand, thus improving the health value.

I honestly can't remember what all I ate today, so I will start documenting tomorrow..but I did make a lasagna for DH today and it smelled good, I just had like one bite and couldn't do it anymore, so I had a bagel and cream cheese...mostly carbs for me have been the only thing I can keep down, so lots of bagels and lots and LOTS of yogurt Cheerios!

Tomorrow we have the M/W appt, so I will report back on what I gained or lost and I will try like heck to keep track of what I eat!!!

Maybe thinking about it and writing it down will force me to try harder to eat stuff that is good for me(when the only thing I can think of is cheese balls! LOL) and instead opt for a yogurt or cheese stick or something!

[elspethshimon]

Yesterday started off strong, but headed to the less-than-healthy

Breakfast was a three egg scramble with spinach

Second breakfast was toast with cheese and a scoop of orzo salad

Elevensies was supposed to be a handful of almonds, but I was really hungry and at the library so I went to Appleby's (the only place w/i walking distance beside fast food) for a chicken sandwich and tomato soup.

Then we had to go to the mall to get my computer fixed so we decided to eat there. I was still full from my earlier meal so I hate a huge salad (w/candied almonds and pears) and had a slice of my partner's pizza.


I also didn't drink much water, I still had at least 48 oz but I've been aiming for more.



And today I woke up and just felt overwhelmed by the amount of protein I should be eating. Ugh.

[Baby_Cakes]

I'm overwhelmed with the protein I should be eating too. Note how I said should be - b/c it hasn't happened yet. I swear, one day, when I have my appetite back, I will make it to 90 g of protein per day, but for now, with this stomach I'm going to get what I get. I was reading that while the baby does need protein and carbs, that it isn't as crucial just yet to get them all in. I'm just working on doing my best, which is coming out to be 40-70 g per day.

Today I'm starting out with my steel cut oats w/banana and agave nectar, and some rye toast with earth balance. We shall see how the rest of the day goes!

Good eats, everyone!
To all of you who can't eat or who are sick, feel better, mamas! You're in my thoughts!

[triple07]

last night i had a subway sandwich... and kept it down! yay me lol

I'm assuming you know this but just in case you don't or maybe someone else doesn't, deli meat isn't a good idea when you're pg because of the bacteria it holds. That's great that you ate and kept it down though!

[casemnor]

For all of us trying to get a bit more protein into our diets...don't forget quinoa!!!!

I made a batch of it the other night and served it with a tomato/tofu stirfry type arrangement on top. It was so yummy! And it was truly satisfying as well.

It wasnt the cold meat, it was the chicken bacon ranch... I dunno if that is the same cuz it was the chunks of chicken, cooked there... hmmm. I dunno lol.

[triple07]

For breakfast I had a couple "Froot Loops Straws" lol. Hmmm dont know how healthy those are but... they were yummy.

[Changed]

I think that's fine Maryann. :)

I totally forgot about that deli meat thing. I had a sandwich yesterday for lunch. Hell, I have sandwiches most days for lunch. I really question the danger of it all myself. I'll ask my MW what she thinks.

[TaraRae82]

I'm eating pizza for lunch. :lol I had a large glass of milk when I got up (got up late, 9:45). I know the pizza isn't healthy but it sounds and smells SO good! I need the cals so I'm telling myself it's ok to eat this crap for now.

[TaraRae82]

Cooked is fine. :)

The deli meat thing came from my doula and her nutrition training with a CPM.

I think it should all be taken with a grain of salt. I think places like Subway just aren't a good idea to eat deli meat since the meat sits out, refrigerated in a very half-a$$ed fashion. I think it all depends on the quality of the meat, just like with eating undercooked steak.

[ibusymomto5]

So far today...

B - Eggs, Kashi waffles, skim milk, water

L - Chicken spaghetti(Barilla Plus) w/ spinach -yum!, skim milk, water

Not sure what snacks will be just yet...

S will be - Roast, potatoes, carrots, homemade ww bread, skim milk

[LoveLife]

Well, yesterday turned out not to be the greatest day for me. I had the raisin bran for breakfast; leftover Roast beef, mashed poatoed and carrots for lunch; then for dinner I had the nastiest Hambuger Helper ever! I forced myself to eat a little, but couldn't do much. It smelled like ham & cheese, but there was no ham to be found. Ew. Anyway, I gave in and also ate a handfull of semi-sweet chocolate chips before dinner. Then after dinner I had 1/2 a kit-kat. Darn chocolate!

Today has been alright so far.

Breakfast- 1 pkg Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Lunch- 1 1/2 leftover blueberry pankackes and 3 sausage links (3!)

So far, 6 glasses of water (48 oz.)

[MommaSomeday]

I ahven't been participating here because I am nto doing very good with my eating. Either I pig out or I can't stand the smell of anything, so I don't eat anythign like what I should.

Second breakfast: Skipped

Elevensies: Macaroni and cheese (okay, not as good but it has protein AND folate)

[Mamatolea]

Breakfast was *surprise, surprise* Cheerios..lol

Then lunch was a chicken sandwich that I managed to keep down(go figure)

But I just had a slice of organic white bread from a local bakery, oh yum! I NEED A BREAD MAKER!!!

LoL that was on my "christmas wish list" but not this year :crying lol

[Skrimpy]

For me yesterday was:

Breakfast: Bacon, 2 eggs, and a bowl of oatmeal w/ butter, peaches, spoonful of yogurt and a drizzle of honey. I couldn't finish all the oatmeal.

Snack: 16oz milk

Lunch: turkey burgers and honey baked lentils, salad

Snack: 8oz milk

Supper: Was supposed to be roast chicken but my stomach turned and the thought of touching a chicken was threatening my ability to keep from vomiting. So instead we had alfredo sauce over rice noodles, because I can always stomach making alfredo lol. And salad.

Late snack: 8oz milk.

Going to try and do better nutrition wise today, I love alfredo sauce but since I didn't use home made cream cheese it wasn't as healthy as it could have been.

[LoveLife]

Ok, yesterday was horrible. I honestly don't want to post because it wasn't good at all.

Breakfast: 1 pkg apple cinamon oatmeal
Lunch: Leftover pancakes & 3 sausage links
Snack: Several handfuls of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Dinner: Grilled cheese sandwich
Snack: 2 Thin mints (I totally wouldn't have had these if it weren't for DH.

Today is no better though...

Breakfast: Biscut & 3 peices bacon (it was so gross I didn't even want to eat it, but I was startving!)
Lunch: 1 peice Parmesan chicken (no sauce) and abou 1/2 cup fried rice
SnacK: I'm trying to hold off eating the brownie sitting next to me on the desk.

Um, who can tell that chocolate has suddenly become my weakness?

It weird because I don't even like chocolate all that much- I hardly ever eat it. And you know what sounds amazing... Chocolate Milk! :o

[Mamatolea]

So far today-

Cheerios!

So I think I am going to change my name to CheerioPreggo! LMBO

Lunch was a slice of pizza which immediately made me gag...

Then I had a half of a turkey, ham, pickles and tomato sub.

And for dessert, I had a small blueberry pie slice and some neopolitan ice cream.

Not too bad for today!

[triple07]

Ham and green onion scramble for breakfast

Homemade ravioli bolognese for lunch

It seems my ms is slowly getting better. I can actually stomach things now, whereas b4 everything was repulsive!

[elspethshimon]

I need more veggies. I had no appetite today. None.

Breakfast: whole milk yogurt and granola. tea w/milk

Lunch: leftover pasta salad, chicken salad on whole grain.

Dinner: tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.

I'll probably snack on some carrots later too.

[elspethshimon]

So far today I've had: a breakfast sandwich (two friend eggs, one slice of cheese, english muffin), a tangerine, a CLIF bar, and a bowl of left over curried chick peas.

I think I am going to make chicken sausage, green beans, and macaroni and cheese for dinner.


I still don't have much of an appetite.

[TaraRae82]

Today has been crap and will continue to be crap because of the concert we're going to tonight.

We went out to lunch with DH's grandma at a buffet style restaurant. I had a couple small pieces of fried fish, a small helping of mac n cheese (not very good), a cinnamon roll, and 2 glasses of milk. Since we'll be at a concert tonight, out of town, we'll eat there. I'll probably end up with nachos and sprite, maybe Dippin' Dots.

[birthdancedoula]

Well today started out good...

A scrambled tofu burrito with fresh salsa, yellow corn grits, and OJ for breakfast, but by lunch I wasn't feelin' it at all. I sat down with a plate of Whole Foods tater tots, a veggie burger on a sprouted bun, and a Vitamin Water to drink. I got as far as the tater tots and it all came back up. :inthet

Dh just came in and asked me what I wanted for dinner and I nearly chased the poor man out of the room.:o

[Baby_Cakes]

Oooh, today has been an AWFUL eating day. I had some cereal for breakfast, which was pretty good - then the m/s hit and I was bound to the couch for the remainder of the day in a pissy mood. I must have had at least half a bag of sour patch kids (the only thing I can eat lately), some chocolate frosting from the can, a banana (ooh, healthy, lol) and 4 or 5 pieces of veggie bacon that I FORCED myself to eat for protein.

I've had this relentless craving for a sausage biscuit after watching Supernatural the other night, (don't ask), and since I'm vegan it's not like I can just run out and get one. I've been pining to get some Gimme Lean (fake vegan sausage) and Bisquick so I can make up this delicious concoction. I just ran out to the food store all by myself to get it (yes it is almost 10 at night) and I was so pissed b/c they were out of stock of the sausage! I could have cried! There was even a spot for it but there were none in stock. :bawl

[Mamatolea]

CheerioPreggo checking in..lol

Guess what I had for breakfast????

No fair peeking!!!

Ok, ok...Cheerios! LOL(but DH added protein powder to my milk this morning, he is concerned about my protein intake..isn't he sweet?? :) )

Then I had a chicken quesadilla for lunch and then birthday cake for dinner ;)

It's my birthday tomorrow!!!!

[Amber Lion]

Happy Birthday!!!!


Today for me:

B: Dutch Babies w/lemon juice and powdered sugar

S: Banana

L: Hiker bagel with spinach and melted cheese & Barbara's cheesepuffs (yum!)

S: Apple & pistachio nuts

D: Homemade pizza w/Yves fake pepperoni and wheat-based fake sausage (Another yum!!)

And drank my infusions too.

[triple07]

2 Eggs and 2 Eggo waffles for breakfast
Sauteed yellow squash and zucchini for lunch
Honey Baked Pretzil Twists for snack
Stuffed venison burger (sans the bread) with mushrooms sauteed in olive oil.
What DH coined Pregnancy brownies, which was just brownie mix, peanut butter, coconut and pecans...

[ibusymomto5]

My appetite is so unpredictable these days. I usually can eat pretty healthy early in the day, but once afternoon gets here it all goes south. I just nibble on whatever sounds good while the nausea is in full swing. Sometimes it's healthy stuff I crave, but sometimes I give in to unhealthy cravings. I'll feel a little bad about it the next day, but at the time I could care less. It's all about what will stay down at the moment. Oh well.. I know this awful nausea will pass soon. I think I'm about 9wks now, and this is usually when the yucky phase peaks for me. Typically it starts gradually decreasing around 11-12wks and is completely gone by about 16wks. So, I'm hoping just a few more weeks of the yuckies.

So far today I've had...

Breakfast-
2 poptarts(I know bad, but they sounded so good and we're out of oatmeal!)
2 fried eggs
skim milk


Lunch-
Roast, carrots, potatoes(I've been craving beef like mad lately)


Supper is going to be-
Meatloaf, baked potatoes and okra

Oh, and my oldest dd is grinding some wheat right now, so there'll be fresh homemade ww bread for snacking and supper.

[TaraRae82]

Happy Birthday!!! :balloons:

Well, I felt surprisingly good last night during the concert but I felt awful this morning, as if I'd been drinking! I'm a little better now but I still don't feel normal. I feel just generally uncomfortable and tired. So far today I've had:

16oz milk (that's all that sounds good!!!)
mac n cheese (yes, the bad-for-you Kraft b/c that's what DH bought)
Water

[Baby_Cakes]

Mamatolea - Happy Birthday!!!

Today is a No Appetite day. Here is the rundown so far:

BFast: Orange & some almonds
Lunch: Rye toast with EB margarine, some icky underripe canteloupe, chocolate soymilk
Snack: Silk Yogurt, Luna Bar

I think I'm going to make cupcakes tonight. We shall see.

[mommysaurus]

Here's me so far:

BFast: orange juice (i love OJ, i have to drink it every morning now), banana
Snack: tapioca and popcorn
Lunch: left over spaghetti
snack: more popcorn

I'm having some serious food aversions. Or i can eat something once, only to find it disgusting the next time. I trying to eat what sounds good to me right now.

[mommysaurus]

16oz milk (that's all that sounds good!!!)
mac n cheese (yes, the bad-for-you Kraft b/c that's what DH bought)
Water

I want milk soooooooo bad but last time i drank it I puked. so it's a no go for now. i'm kinda sad 'cause i want chocolate milk.

[Baby_Cakes]

I'm having some serious food aversions. Or i can eat something once, only to find it disgusting the next time. I trying to eat what sounds good to me right now.

This keeps on happening to me too! Something I find absolutely amazing one day, and is all I can eat, the next day it repulses me and I can't believe I ever thought I would want to eat that. Makes me mad b/c at the time I feel so happy that I finally found something I can eat!

[annie-o]

Well, let's see...

Kashi cereal and milk for breakfast
instant, organic flax oatmeal for second breakfast
chicken with black beans, rice and salsa for lunch...and a few brussels
AND, because of the last post, I just made myself a glass of chocolate milk and handed my 14 month old a hunk of banana. I wonder who got the better end of the deal?!:wink

[TaraRae82]

I'll add to my list for today:

A couple bites of biscuits and gravy which tasted awful so I couldn't eat it after it sounded so good.
A cookie and another lg glass of milk

I'm thinking I should change from 1% milk to whole milk so I can get more cals and fat since I'm not eating much of anything else and that's the only thing that consistently tastes good.

[Tiger Lily]

Ugh, today has not been good. I've had

1 homemade cinnamon roll (made during my anxiety-induced baking frenzy yesterday)

Approximately 2 oz of sharp cheddar cheese and a handful of Multi-Grain Wheat Thins

A cup or so of chocolate milk

I think I'm going to make some homemade mac-n-cheese for dinner tonight. It sounds so good.

I may also throw a batch of black beans in the pressure cooker. A friend of mine went on a mission to Guatemala and taught me how to make black beans and rice and it sounds really yummy right now--and I could use the protein desperately.

[Changed]

Today I did pretty well!

breakfast- home made strawberry banana smoothie w/skim milk, yogurt, a little OJ and a raw egg.
a cup of coffee
snack- 2 wheat sesame crackers with low fat cheese (laughing cow wedge)
lunch- WW smart ones fettuchini alfredo and added an extra cup or more of broccoli
snack- one hundred calorie pack
dinner- home made chicken stew with tons of veggies (ccoling right now!)
and I'll probably have an apple later

Not the best choices but I kept it all down and that's something! I know I didn't come close to my protein needs. I'm really struggling with that.

[Mamatolea]

Thanks for the birthday wishes mamas!! :hug

Breakfast-um duh

Lunch-Turkey sandwich(I am the pickle queen-so stereotypical eh? LOL)

Dinner-Maxed out meatloaf

Since it's my birthday, I may splurge and have some pizza for a snack..lol..but I don't think I can keep down bday cake(didn't yesterday) so although hubby made it fabulously, I think I am staying away!!

[Baby_Cakes]

I FINALLY made my "sausage" biscuits! OMG they were heaven and I ate 4 of them. I am a very happy pregnant lady!

Other than that, I'm going to skip making cupcakes b/c it's too late but I am going to pick out a recipe to make them tomorrow. I'm going to try a new recipe.

Hugs to everyone who, like me, can't seem to eat a thing. We just have to keep hanging on!

[Tiger Lily]

I had a protein shake for breakfast and it helped a TON with the m/s today.
Snack:homemade fudge :bag:
Lunch: black beans & rice and an orange
Snack: Lemon slush from Sonic

Dinner was supposed to be homemade pizza, but someone mentioned salsa and suddenly I NEED, *NEED* the chips and salsa at Chevys. Wonder if I can convince Dh to go out . . .

[Mamatolea]

Breakfast was.....nope. you guessed wrong!!! LOL

I had a cheese stick ;) Fooled ya!

Lunch was a tomato/bacon/cheese on organic white sandwich

Dinner was chicken tacos and a piece of birthday cake

I also had a Mt. Dew(I don't drink soda) but this headache was unbearable for 2 days and it finally subsided--phew!

[Baby_Cakes]

I was nauseous all damn day. I dry heaved, it was unpleasant.

I mananged:

2 pieces of buttered rye bread toast
1/3 Luna Bar
2 or 3 sour candies
handful of Sour Patch Kids
box of chocolate soymilk (zensoy brand)
3 glasses of diluted apple juice

**appetite returned around 7 pm**

half a plate of McCain Potato Roasters w/ketchup
2 more of my fab "sausage" biscuits
HUGE glass of chocolate soymilk :yum

[mommysaurus]

So far today:

Breakfast: OJ, banana and a cheese stick
snack: pretzels ,but this isn't cutting it, i may have to get my tapioca out.
lunch: TBA and for the rest of the day too!

[elspethshimon]

Breakfast: Egg sandwich w/cheese on an English muffin. Tea w/milk

I have no appetite. I think I will have leftover curried chickpeas for lunch and pack some carrots and almonds to take to the library.

We also have leftover beans and rice from last night.

[triple07]

I have been wanting pesto pasta a lot...

[nccrunchymama]

I have been wanting pesto pasta a lot...

Ooooh. Me too. I've made it a few times, but it's so much easier to buy from Sub-sational. Grilled chicken pesto pasta salad. But.... they had a fire and closed for renovations. :( I guess I'm out of luck.

I made a huge "feed the freezer" batch of tomato soup. I've eaten that 3 times in the last 2 days.

So today I've had: Cereal for breakfast, PB&J late-morning with a glass of milk, a chunk of cheddar cheese with corn chips and a glass of milk for a snack. And now, I'm getting hungry again. The first warning sign of hunger? NAUSEA! Yuck. Maybe I should eat a real meal this time. :p

[Changed]

I want egg rolls. I haven't had any lately but oh my god, I want them bad.

[Baby_Cakes]

I have the most boring food days. :(

reheated sausage biscuit (ugh, it was awful reheated)
banana
buttered rye toast
chocolate soymilk
some marinated sauteed mushrooms and kidney beans from a salad bar
orange
a strawberry unfrosted poptart

I'm eagerly awaiting the 2nd trimester!

[DawnLasp]

My appetite has been better. I found these really good organic turkey burgers. Each burger has 31 grams of protein! It really helps me meet the protein quota. Also, chicken noodle soup helps me too. :eat:

[Mamatolea]

I want egg rolls. I haven't had any lately but oh my god, I want them bad.

So did I, finally! YUMMM :eat:

Breakfast was nothing, we went to the museum early and I forgot to eat...then I had a melty cheese and ham sandwich, chips, pickle, olives and 2sips of coke before I lost it all...shouldn't have waited that long to eat :(

then for din din: YUM- Chinese food! I had chicken with baby corn, pea pods, bean sprouts, water chestnuts and cashews(YUM YUM YUM!), an egg roll, one chicken wing and some pineapple!

And now I think I will have a piece of birthday cake..I will be SO glad when it is gone!!!! lol

[triple07]

I want egg rolls. I haven't had any lately but oh my god, I want them bad.

I have wanted some good chinese food lately but all they have here are these crappy buffets... I want some REAL chinese food.... mmmmmm, especially the yummy one in Monterey!

[Tiger Lily]

I want some REAL chinese food.... mmmmmm, especially the yummy one in Monterey!

Would you share the name of the place? I'm going to be in that area soon and would love a good chinese recommendation!

[triple07]

Would you share the name of the place? I'm going to be in that area soon and would love a good chinese recommendation!

Mmmm, there is Mandarin Gourmet (which is TECHNICALLY in Pacific Grove) and Full Moon Mandarin Cuisine. DH and I ALWAYS ordered out of Mandarin Gourmet (before we were married and still living on base at DLI) and anytime ppl would come visit us we would go to Full Moon. Ooooh, the Honey Walnut Prawns are THE BEST at both places. Im drooling thinking of em lol.

[triple07]

Baked chicken and ravioli for dinner then half a bag of hershey's Hugs while watching Project Runway :bag: BUT everything from about 3:30 pm on stayed down!

[Baby_Cakes]

Last night for dinner, I had a baked potato - and it gave me the most horrible stomachache. Like, crampy intestinal gas that wouldn't let up. Also made me really nauseous. I felt sick all night, tossing and turning. Sucked. :(

This morning, so far, just a cup of peppermint tea. The nausea, oh, the nausea...

[girlsmamma2]

ok, I cannnnooootttt read this thread...it's making me naseous! :eyesroll maybe later on, my ms seems to be stubborn today.

:irked:

[Tiger Lily]

I've always found that peppermint tea on an empty stomach was about the worst thing I could possibly do to myself. With my first pg, I ended up leaving work early one day because I'd puked 4 or 5 times after doing that.

Does anyone else just get really random cravings? I was laying in bed half-asleep last night, NOT hungry at all, and I suddenly wanted a baked potato with a ton of butter and salt. This morning it doesn't even sound good anymore! LOL.

[Tiger Lily]

Oops, forgot to say thanks for the recommendations Triple07!

[triple07]

Ooooh, making this tonight (hoping that it will still sound good by then) and here is the recipe. I remember a few ppl saying they wanted pizza but not so much all the grossness. Here is a suggestion/recipe that I LOVE and can only get when I go back to Pennsylvania!

Pierogi Pizza

Pizza Crust
2 c mashed potatoes
1 cup cheese (your choice on kind)
Extra cup cheese (again, whatever you like)
1 medium onion, diced
Butter (or margerine, or whatever you use) for sauteeing

Sautee onion in butter. Mix mashed potatoes, onions, and 1 cup cheese (I like cheddar to mix in) Spread mix on top of pizza crust. Top with additional cup of cheese (I like mozerrela for this part) and bake for whatever pizza crust recommends.

Hope someone out there will enjoy this too :)

[LoveLife]

Well, I haven't posted here in a few days and my eating has been horrible!! I can't even bring myself to type it up its been that bad.

But today I seem better and back on track...

Breakfast: Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal (1 pkg)
Lunch: Newks Deli- a cup (more like a bowl) of Broccoli Cheese Soup & 1/2 a grilled chicken sandwich. I wasn't very hungry but it tasted good, so I ate the whole bowl of soup and almost the whole sandwich (whole 1/2 a sandwich I should say. LOL.)

Thats been it so far. Hopefully I can manage to keep away from the junk food and get back on track with healthy eating.

[Baby_Cakes]

Ugh, I decided to have Chinese for lunch. Wasn't such a hot idea after all. I mean, it tasted good and I ate it, but now I feel really...salty. :D

Isn't it strange how what works for one person doesn't work for others? Like with the peppermint tea, I mean? Guess that's just part of life, lol.

Other than that, just sipping my icy cold Pepsi wishing it were a Coca-Cola, lol.

I just had chinese for lunch and ihave to agree...it wasn't a good idea. My head is pounding and my tummy is nauseous. blah. I may need a pepsi...no i can't...i get addicted to caffiene way to easily. I've had two that last 2 days I can't do it!

[Baby_Cakes]

^ I got a headache too! Wow, I didn't think it was related... makes sense now though, all the sodium and stuff, you know?

[TaraRae82]

I've been living on mac n cheese and milk. Not exactly an ideal diet but at least it's calories and I'm not throwing up. I've been assured that since the LO is still so tiny, my diet isn't AS important yet. I was really worried but I guess plenty of people can't eat at all because they throw up so I'm not in that bad of a situation. DH made chicken nuggets and fries last night for himself and I of course didn't want to eat. He made enough fries for me and it really hit the spot. He's so good....he totally knows me. :D

[JMarie930]

Yesterday I was pretty good. Bacon and egg taco for breakfast with orange juice. Caprese salad for lunch. My version of shrimp stir fry for dinner (Green Giant microwave veggies, 365 Organic microwave brown rice, sauted shrimp - takes 10 minutes to make). I'm craving fruits and veggies like crazy, I can't get enough.

Today, not so good. I feel really icky and have eaten whatever didn't sound like it'd make me sick. Pop-tart for breakfast. A bag of Sun-Chips for lunch. Grapes for a snack. I'm not sure I can stomach dinner.

[DawnLasp]

I've been snacking on honey nut cheerios all day. I ate so many cans of chicken noodle soup this week that I think I am finally sick of eating it for a while. :(

[Mamatolea]

Breakfast was a cheese stick

Lunch was a turkey and ham with Xtra pickles, Xtra tomatoes-not as good as the last one...not enough pickles!!! ;)

Dinner was power pizza

LOTS of water and finally some tylenol. These headaches are driving me NUTS, I think I am really going to have to drop the kids I watch, I can't take it...I have the worst headaches now......

[Baby_Cakes]

Tater tots for dinner. Blah. I might have to make something else, b/c I'm actually quite hungry -- but nothing we have in the house is appealing. DH is rockclimbing tonight, so I'm fending for myself. Just don't really feel up to running out tonight...boo. :(

[ibusymomto5]

I've had such a hard time eating healthy this week, because I keep craving unhealthy things(sugar, refined flour things, fast food, occasional soda that I tried so hard to stay away from). I feel kind of bad, but then I'm also glad I'm not throwing up. I figure it's better to eat something that I know will stay down even if it's not the healthiest, than try to force something healthy down that sounds repulisve. I'm normally a veggie lover, but I can barely stand the thought of any of them right now.

Today I had...

Breakfast - 1 scrambled egg, toast(white bread) with butter and jelly, skim milk

Lunch - Homemade chicken noodle soup, banana

Snack - toast(white bread again) with butter and jelly - this really, really hit the spot even if it is empty calories

Supper - Ham, scalloped potatoes, corn
swiss cake roll for desert:o


I made the mistake of having a big cup of hot tea with sugar. It tasted great going down, but then I was super jittery and icky feeling afterwards probably from the caffeine. Won't do that again!

[mommysaurus]

ib5 I can't help it either with the fast food. I've had my share the last two weeks. for some reason it settles my stomach and stays down. I want potatoes, or fries or better yet KFC potato wedges..mmmm...i discovered those the other day. guess what i'm having for lunch? lol. I have been craving a egg,cream cheese,with fresh basil, breakfast bagel...i might have to get one of those.

[mommysaurus]

Ok so far today:

BF: oj...i coudn't do anything else.
snack: cheese stick, rice pudding and pretzels.
lunch: it's almost 10 and I'm ready...lol. I'll probaly eat my pb& j sandwich.
2nd lunch: lol..yeah i plan to go around 11 and get some potato wedges.
rest of the day: TBA

[zazamada]

I've been doing pretty well. But definitely lacking in the veggies department. I usually love them and make them often with dinner, but by the time I get home from work, I just want to pop a frozen pizza in the oven or not eat.

But during the day - watch out! I can eat everything - especially if it's meat. I think I've had more red meat in the past 3 weeks than I usually have in 2 months. I'm just listening to the cravings and giving in.

Also, I find that I have to eat again around 4 or 5, which is a little awkward at work since my boss keeps asking why I am eating a snack at 5.

[elspethshimon]

Today so far, tea w/milk, a CLIF bar, a salad.

I need more. I think I am going to make myself a chicken salad sandwich or some toast with cheese.

For dinner I am cooking the chickpea quinoa pilaf from veganomicon.

I will also probably have some nuts and/or carrots for a snack.

[mommysaurus]

ok the potato wedges did me wrong...i am now puking at work. this sucks. i'm going home early...blah. feel like crap. i'm scared to eat anything right now.

[Baby_Cakes]

^ Curse the potato wedges! Feel better!

I got Taco Bell for lunch. Those bastards put cheese on my tacos, but I mananged to pick it all off! They were pretty good -- I've been feeling good today. Only a tiny bit of nausea in the am, but overall I've been full of energy and feeling good.

I've been craving Taco Bell (and various other greasy bean burritos, LOL) like a crazy person. I had to explain to the person who took my order 3 times that I did not want any cheese or sour cream on my burrito. She kept asking me if I was sure I didn't want any. :dizzy:

We actually managed to go out last night for dinner...to a Mexican restaurant. I am so happy that what I have a taste for and can actually keep down has a good amount of protein in it!:thumb

[triple07]

Bowl of FiberOne for breakfast

[elspethshimon]

I had a brownie and a scoop of coffee ice cream for breakfast.

And as evidence of my lack of appetite, I wasnt' even remotely tempted for more than that.

I will be eating super healthy for the rest of the day. I think for lunch I am going to have leftover chickpea quinoa pilaf and some carrots.

[Meshell]

Nothing really sounds good to me. I have been eating and trying to eat healthy, but something will sound good and when I eat it it tastes off or not as good as I expected. So I am losing my appetite because of it.

[mommysaurus]

ok so far today i had a cup of hot cocoa (actually stayed down) and some saltines. that's all that sounds good for now.

[triple07]

Cream cheese croissant for breakfast.
