Well my lunch consisted of a soft pretzel from QT, an order of fries and an apple pie from McDonald's and some ginger ale....

Well. I also just had McDonalds for lunch. Still just eating all the carbs. Potatoes in many forms. Pasta. The saddest thing is my beloved Coke tastes HORRIBLE. 

RunBooRun

I've eaten McDonald's more since I've gotten pregnant than I did in the 3 years prior.

ETA: I can't even with garlic right now. Even the smallest hint of a garlic scent puts me completely off. On the other hand, apparently if I can't smell it, it's ok. I had garlic bread for lunch, but not sure how much garlic was on it because I couldn't smell or taste it.

Ummm everything! Like 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners. I wish it were all healthy too but those things just don't sound good. I guess my carrots and ranch are healthy! Carbs, salt, carbs and more carbs. And it's funny you mention coke.. That's one of my cravings!!

Cereal. It's one of the few things I can stomach right now, so I've been eating it for dinner almost every night. Last week it was Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Tonight it's Kix, strangely. I guess I felt like eating something bland.

I'm trying to watch my calorie intake, since I never lost my pregnancy weight from DD, but I have been craving Mexican food like WHOA lately. Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, rice ,beans, nomnomnom

omg @RunBooRun I would be so sad. I love garlic on everything. 

mrsyimster

the chickfila is finally open...

I GOT 2 CHICKEN BISCUITS FOR BREAKFAST with OJ

RunBooRun

@pandalily - I normally love garlic too. This is just so weird.

RunBooRun

I've eaten about half a container of sour cream & onion Pringles and I'm not sure if I'm going to stop.

Everything sounds good to me until it is in front of me then I am so sick ! My poor DH took me out to dinner last night because I wanted a chicken salad so bad two bites later I am asking for a box. I just want to enjoy food again!!

girlmama83

I went to Target yesterday to buy a rug for my daughters playroom and came home with those little crescent wrapped hotdogs and a pickle.

I know what my pregnant self will not be eating anymore...bananas. I've thrown up twice now after eating one.

southpawjen

Living off of plain bagels and watermelon. The only things I can keep down.

liepertsm

@Spartanrd4 bananas haven't been sitting well with me either! Ick. 

Today for lunch I had the most delicious grilled cheese and tomato soup. There wasn't anything special about it; soup from a can and a plain old grilled cheese, but it was so good. 

gracie4400

Cheez-Its. I could eat them by the box. And chocolate milk.

adpralle

@minger86 YES! I want ALL the Mexican food. Especially the guacamole. We have a place similar to Chipotle called Pancheros and they have amazing made to order burrito bowls. I keep telling myself it's better than a lot of things I could be eating, but I really need to scale it back a little. It doesn't help that they have a punch card for free burritos....and if you tell them you're pregnant and having cravings they take it VERY seriously. And now I want one...

mrsyimster

confession: I went to wendys to get a chocolate frosty just now, for snack.. I walked out with a frosty, a junior deluxe cheeseburger, spicy chicken nuggets, French fries, and ranch dipping sauce....

(I wanted all of them at the time... but it seems I only like the burger and the frosty... guess DH can eat the rest for dinner)

alexxapplepiee-2

Bordens Dutch Chocolate Milk
Virgin Bloody Mary with extra olives
Toaster Strudels

Most random stuff ever lol the beans want what they want.

labellevie

@RunBooRun Garlic has been HORRIBLE for me too. Mostly when it's cooking. It's usually one of my favorites, so it's extra saddening.

meq124

Does being pregnant classify a person as a family? Asking for a friend... 

Minger86

@adpralle don't deprive yourself of pregnancy burritos! Carbs are our best friend right now! (Check back in March - I'll be singing a different tune)

chrlyr

When I'm not nauseous, I'm starving. I'm always ready to put down a ton of food and them I'm full after like half a plate. So. Annoying. Right now I'm really into croissants and California rolls. 

kjd291

A bag of Buckeyes and a glass of milk

Yup! Tell your friend, it's legit! 
I definately bought the family size bag of salt and vinegar lays chips more times than I care to admit when I was pregnant with my daughter.

MsTurney

Alphagetti lol 

Linds1083

Peanut butter cliff bars, sour cream and cheddar chips, PB & J

labellevie

@Linds1083 I found some new CLIF bars that have all different nut butters in them (hazelnut, peanut butter, etc.) and they're delectable! I want to eat all of them in one day but I ration myself, somehow. 

___________________________________________________________________________

Sweet potatoes have been sounding nice.
Garlic is disgusting, along with fresh bread with lots of grains - so random.
Fruit has been tasty + oatmeal and yogurt.
I had key lime pie at a wedding over the weekend and that was heavenly.
Soup is tolerable mostly.

My DH made pickles last week and I thought I was going to die.

Otherwise, just riding the nausea waves and trying to stay positive. 

Burrberrymum

@chrlyr   I'm feeling you. Normally I can eat.. Like a lot. Now I'm lucky if I get through a 6 inch sub without feeling like I'm about to bust. This morning I only managed to eat half a breakfast sandwich, HALF... Who only eats half a breakfast sandwich and feels full.. 

pandalily

Ooh @labellevie those different nut clif bars sound delicious. 

pinnerk

Sunflower seeds. I just can't stop. I literally woke up at 3am last night and started munching away in bed. 
Also way too much McDonalds (glad I'm not alone). 

onefootinthebayou

I'm eating @Phil413's tomato salad.  After a few days, it gets really vinegar-y so I've been serving it on top of a big wedge of iceberg lettuce.  Cold, crunchy, vinegary.  Exactly what I like these days.  

MyNamesTaken

Frozen berries and lots of pasta. I would love to go back to my lunch salads but they're so unappealing right now

jenny0228

Cereal, bagels, apples with peanut butter, frozen French bread pizza, chocolate protein shakes, waffles, grapes, ice cream (every day ice cream) and my most ridiculous one yet: at whole foods today I saw these cans of "organic"' spaghetti-o's. I thought: oh! They are healthy! great! HA. I ate two cans for lunch! They were delicious!!! 

After reading this thread though all I can think of is McDonald's fries and a strawberry milkshake...

And to think I pictured myself eating kale salads everyday... Hope I can get healthier soon but for now it's survival mode. 

JustAnotherUsername16

My appetite finally picked up! I want to eat everything!

Unfortunately so did the vomiting.... 

BaylieGirl

Just HAD to buy a baskin Robbins icecream cake.... I need the calcium right?

Spartanrd4

Tonight DH and I are going out to dinner for our wedding anniversary and I'm so excited for steak! And dessert of course  

Wishilivedinflorida

@jenny0228 I've done the same thing with organic soups and noodle cups. Except then I want to eat them all! I will say that they are more delicious than regular canned soups, and when I was at the height of my MS a week or two ago, they were lifesaving!

RunBooRun

I really need to start working some fruits and veggies back into my diet. This is so not healthy.

Jen524

Carbs, anything with salt on it, pickles, salt and vinegar chips.  I was eating well before I got my BFP, but veggies make me gag right now and I usually love veggies.
