Every since I became pregnant my health, what I eat and my skin have been in the forefront of my mind. (Of course not over my baby)
Since becoming pregnant I feel like I google "pregnancy diet" or "what to eat while pregnant" at least once a week.
I have come to the conclusion I can't just take in 1,200 to 1,500 calories a day, obviously. But I have found a diet that works for me. And when I say diet I mean really just avoiding certain foods and taking in my good to get my little baby boy the nutrients he needs.
Breakfast I eat one or two of these things:
- Oatmeal
- Banana
- Whole Grain Waffles (No syrup)
- Whole Grain Bagel - with whipped cream cheese
I try not to eat anything greasy for breakfast. And Chik-fil-a chicken biscuits are my favorite. I have been indulging here and there though.
Lunch (I try to eat a little heavier at lunch because by lunch time I'm so tried and in need of a re-fuel):
- Pasta
- Salads
- Vegetable Soup (Sometimes with crackers if I'm feeling more hungry
- Chicken Salad
- Sometimes I eat a heavy helping of fruit and vegetables.
Dinner :
- Grilled Chicken and Green Veggies
- Fried or Hard Boiled Eggs
- Soup
- Brown Rice & Beans
- And on some days I eat dinner at my mom's, so whatever she cooks
I am trying to snack healthy as well. Fruit, almonds, baby carrots, things like that.
But it is not always so easy. I do break down and have the occasional ice cream sandwich. I hope to continue to eat well and stay healthy all throughout my pregnancy.
