Thoughts on buffet eating?

jlarcilla · October 2014

I've read a lot that says buffets are no good. Hubby and I love buffets. We're huge on visiting Atlantic City and casinos in PA every few weekends and always eat buffets there. I was just wondering what everyone else's thoughts were.

I love buffets! I've eaten at them through all of my pregnancies. I have never heard not to...

I ate them a few times with my last pregnancy and my daughter is just fine. I'd just avoid things that look like they've been out a long time and of course all the typical "don't eat" food (bleu cheese on salads, raw sushi if it's an Asian buffet, etc.)

As long as you don't overeat, I don't see any harm.

ETA: And I don't mean that in a rude way lol overeating always made me extra sick!

DH and I went to a breakfast buffet this morning! It was awesome--right up until I got home and threw it ALLLL up. So yeah, buffets are great, but me and food are having a hard time right now.

I would have never thought to not eat at buffet while pregnant. I'm sure it's fine.

I agree that I think they are fine. Just stay away from things like chicken salad that might have mayo in it.

Why wouldn't the be fine? Buffets are the bomb!

I'm not a buffet person, but I would stick to buffets that are well populated and have a fast turnover of foods.

I've had food poisoning from a high end hotel buffet so I wouldn't go there when pregnant. But I guess it depends on your previous personal experience.
