What my pregnant self is eating

g8rmama_16

I am surprised this hasn't already become a thread in the same vein as "Why my pregnant self is crying"! 

Right now most of your are just eating to survive and not vomit, but I am sure this could evolve into random cravings soon enough.

I ate chips and guac for dinner, mostly to avoid doing any dishes.

Bland carbs of any sort and water-heavy fruits like melon. Cucumbers also sound appealing.

Gluten free toaster waffle with peanut butter and honey spread on it. I'm now contemplating some caramel Talenti gelato. 

ETA: Chips and guac sound SO GOOD right now, @HeyBooHey!

So does caramel Talenti! That stuff is SO good!

Toast and peanut butter
Egg noodles coated on melted cheeze whiz
The funny fruit snack things from Costco
Potatoes chips

Seeing it in writing, that looks super terrible.

Went out to a professional association dinner thing at a fancy golf club and the food was SO GOOD. There were a whole bunch of salads, including this really amazing tomato and boccocini salad and a fig salad, and there was salmon and chicken and an incredible dessert table with petit fours and macarons and cake pops (because why not?) I had a little bit of everything since it was the first I'd eaten all day.

I'm with @atcwag, the water-heavy fruits are good right now. Carby things: lots of goldfish, teddy grahams, cheerios, noodles, etc.

I haven't had an apple in months but today I had to have one. It was so good.

Dinner was: the second half of my sandwich from lunch, a few chips, some dry cereal, and 2 pop tarts. Over the course of about 3 hours. 

I had my first real craving... last weekend I was seeing lots of people posting about Deviled eggs for their Easter dinner. I thought it sounded good, which is funny because I'd never even tried one before last Thanksgiving. Then yesterday during a nap, I dreamed I went to my deceased grandma's house and she had some. I skipped into the living room, sat by her on the couch, and asked if I could have some. She laughed really hard - a whole body laugh she did sometimes - and said of course. So when I woke up, I made some Deviled eggs and they've been delicious

My husband is currently at DQ because I NEED to try the Oreos s'mores blizzard.  I had a healthy dinner specifically so I wouldn't feel guilty.

Today my pregnant self has had: generic cheerios with milk, yogurt, chicken rice and bean bowl, roasted cauliflower and carrots, mixed fruit, chicken salad sandwich with Crunchy Curls, soft baked banana bread belvita, beefaroni, and a cheese stick. There might have been something else between the belvita and the beefaroni, I can't remember. As you can tell, I eat all the things. If I don't eat every 60-90 minutes I start to get shakey and feel faint, so I am constantly eating. I very luckily don't have any nausea.

Watermelon. It's delicious and everything else is gross!

Cheerios, yogurt, peach cobbler toast with melted Irish butter, chalupas dipped in extra nacho cheese, homemade nachos with just cheese, guac and sour cream, sorbet for heartburn, McDonald's Egg McMuffins, their French fries, bananas, salted hard boiled eggs, vanilla bean scones, peanut buster parfaits, grilled tomato and cheese, gyros, Trader Joe shepards pie, Mac n' cheese with baked chicken mixed in, hot Italian grinders.

Basically whatever sounds appealing through my all day sickness. I have not gained a single pound while eating all this crap food. I love food when I'm pregnant.

It's like smoking a joint and getting the munchies.

mrs_hoyahoo

I ordered pizza yesterday just to be able to have cold, pizza for lunch today.

I'm still able to eat pretty much whatever, but pizza is the only thing that satisfies.

I just had one last night and it was amazing!

DF is amazing when it comes to tending to my cravings. Right now he's making me a mac and cheese grilled cheese with bacon. And I'm eating pralines and cream ice cream waiting for it to be ready.

I've been craving toast and apples with peanut butter, pickles, and fruit (most melon). 
I did have DH run out and get me a Jr bacon cheeseburger last night though. No regrets. 

grannysmith912

Cravings so far have included French toast sticks, mac n cheese, Indian curry with paneer, ice cream sandwiches, and spaghetti. These cravings have only persisted for a couple days at a time though, and now something like curry sounds totally nauseating to me!

My tummy has been particularly tumultuous the past few days, so pretty much all I'm eating now is toast with jam, plain Cheerios, bagels, bananas, oatmeal, and unsalted almond butter. That's a balanced diet... right?

earichar23

Lots of toast with peanut butter and Cheerios. I've been craving vinegar based foods, noodle salads mostly. And fruit. Watermelon and apples and pineapple (not together).

I ate half a loaf of Italian bread for dinner one night this week.  Its the only thing that sounded good and that I felt like I could keep down.  I was craving cucumbers in Italian dressing the other night so H ran out to the grocery store at 10pm to get me some

BmcD2016

We had salads for dinner the other night. A few hours later we're laying in bed and a commercial for little ceasars (not my usual) comes on. We both say "we need that". The second time it comes on, he jumps out of bed "I'm doing it!" And then we ate pizza in bed at 10pm so we wouldn't wake the kids. 

Not it sure if he's having sympathy cravings or what, but it's cute.

I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but I have had cravings for bean burritos from taco bell, which I hadn't eaten since I was like 10. Almost everyday after school this week I've stopped by Taco Bell to pick one up (ok, two).  I've really eaten like crap the last couple of weeks. I'm. always. starving. 

Last pregnancy I was all about the gyros. Which does sound amazing right now!

When my mom was pregnant with me it was all about the burrito supreme from Taco Bell. She was on the night shift so she'd call my dad, wake him up, and he'd have to put my sleeping 2 year old sister in the car seat to go get it.

The heart wants what the heart wants. Don't be embarrassed, Taco Bell is amazing.

All I've eaten for the last 2 days is smartfood popcorn, canned pineapple and canned peaches.

Apparently this kid loves peanut butter on a spoon and pizza.  I've gone through half a jar of peanut butter this week... a big one.

Finally caved into my early morning craving I've been having since 8am and heated up a hot pocket. Not obvious the whole office at all.

I just had my first trader joes experience a couple of days ago. Im going to be so sad when it's gone because we don't have one close to where we live.

I visit this thread when I'm hungry and need ideas.

AandDM2014

Oh my gosh @HomeyDontPlayThat, that is a great idea!! I'm going to have to try that today!

CCrane22

A Big Don from Donatos was the only thing that sounded good, and since there happens to be one by my work I ordered one...and it was the more glorious thing I have eaten in my entire life 

lin0442

Just had some leftover chicken and peas for lunch, a mandarin orange and a small cookie as snacks. Dreaming about anchovy pizza for dinner. 

Gagged thinking about eating a croissant this morning, but apparently anchovies are good. Still figuring this morning sickness thing out.

Mac and cheese, cheese pizza rolls, ramen noodles, bagels, strawberries, mandarin oranges, and grapefruit! Oh and these amazing dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe's!

Those dark chocolate peanut butter cups are amazing! I always have a carton in my fridge.

I've been craving Ramen all the time! we have a ramen shop that is opening up in town soon and I can't wait to try it out!!! I've been trying to not eat ramen packages too much cus I'm sure the sodium is HORRIBLE. besides that I'm pretty much eating like I did as a teenager... which is horrible.

This thread is making me equal parts hungry and queasy. I don't understand how that even works but it's a weird feeling.

LindsayLuLu27

Anything without meat!!!! Just thinking of meat makes me sick!... My current faves are milky ways and artichokes ... Not together but right after the other lol

Yesterday I was delayed in an airport for 3 hours and I was both hungry and nauseous (thank you turbulence), so I needed to eat but nothing sounded good. I let my nose guide me through the airport to every food location to see if anything sounded good. After about 45 minutes of wandering around and feeling disgusted by anything sweet or savory, I finally found the only thing that sounded good at all...Red Gatorade. I chugged that Gatorade with a bag of pretzels and felt better than I had in hours. I try to be healthy as much as possible, but this pregnancy thing is throwing my body for a loop!

MrsWookie

I don't normally drink Gatorade and Powerade, but I've been craving them. I may have to just get some!
