+1 for salty and fries!!! I ate and entire bag of skinny pop the other day at work and popcorn is my fave snack. The cafe in my office building has a burger stand with amazing fries that I've been digging. I almlst ordered 2 orders of them a few times but had to stop myself lol
@noxacanthus@mandk1233 I have gotten a couple happy meals these past few months, haha. The tiny fry containers are adorable and nowhere near the amount I -want- to eat but it makes me feel less guilty. And I don't even ask for the extra fries in the happy meal! Literally the beacon of pregnancy health over here
I forgot how delicious Mcds fries are. We stopped at a mcds on the way back from a cabin trip and I could barely control myself. My son got mad bc I didnt want to share my fries!
I'm totally using this pregnancy as an excuse to binge on foods I would normally limit. But I'm finding I have less room in my tummy for big meals. I'm eating about 3000 tiny meals all day long!
My dinner last night was a ton of green olives followed by a bowl of ice cream. It was only later, when my husband asked if I had eaten, that I realized that was such a stereotypical pregnancy snack.
+1 for all the fries. McD’s fries with hot mustard sauce have been my jam. And the other night I baked frozen fries because it makes me feel less guilty... but then the last few minutes they were baking I added shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, a jalapeños, but it was okay because they weren’t fried 😂🤦♀️
Normally salty is my go to snack... popcorn, an entire bag of chips, McD fries.. I can't help myself! But while pregnant I'm totally craving chocolate (hello mini halloween choco bars!). So my cravings have totally flipped. Before, if I sat down with a bag of chips I'd have to have them torn away from my cold dead hands or I'd eat them all, but I could take or leave chocolate and sweets. And now it's reversed completely! Pretty sure my baby is 50% chocolate at this point.
Everyone talking about McDs made me go buy it for lunch today. Lol
@kper82 I snorted with the 50% chocolate comment. When my mom was pregnant with my sister, her thing was carrots. Like she'd eat an entire baggie of baby carrots a day. We joked my sister would come out as an oompa oompa from them all!
@babyroma Oh man, my partner is worse than I am with the sweets! He has no self control around desserts lol. I feel bad because I'll bring home a giant box of Halloween chocolates and then he eats more of them than I do! He's got no chance
@nhh11@lanie1000 Have you tried buying a large box of Halloween chocolate, dumping half of it out beside him on the couch and going to town next him? I've found it to be quite effective in bringing him down with you
@Swiftlet Pumpkin pie pop tarts?! Bah, you Americans get the best treats!
Oh man...I bought a pack of pumpkin hostess cupcakes from CVS today and I regret it. Not because it's bad, but because I'm going to want them all the time now. Also, the building management at work buys all its tenant candy apples every year. Today was candy apple day! There were extra so I grabbed a dark chocolate sea salt caramel and a milk chocolate caramel one for H and myself to share.
I've been in a very soup-y mood lately. This week I made Skinnytaste's cream of broccoli soup for my lunches and it's really good and pretty easy. I also feel healthy because it's basically a bunch of veggies and a touch of milk. Would recommend for my fellow soup cravers
I’ve been eating so many olives, and thinking about olives whenever I’m not eating them that I am now considering naming the baby Olive. You know, because I’m a totally normal and rational person.
Not going to lie, I am living through you ladies. I feel food cravings and increased appetite are an awesome symptom of pregnancy, and other than sugar free popsicles, I haven't really wanted to eat anything. Little jealousy over here haha. Keep the food posts coming
I've definitely been more lax about my food since being pregnant. French brioche + The Greek Gods Honey Greek Yogurt + a glass of apple cider + a banana have been my breakfasts. I feel like I am going to fail my glucose test in a couple weeks...

I feel like I'm never satisfied. Even when I'm full I feel like there is some craving I'm looking for but I have no clue what it is.
I'm sort of in this same boat...like I always want to be eating SOMETHING, but not sure what it is that I want? Lately I've been eating m&m's because people have been bringing in Halloween candy. Dangit now I want m&ms...
I've been feeling way hungrier since 20 weeks and have completely let go of my calorie counting now, but anytime I eat more than a small meal I get heartburn/acid reflux or I spend several hours feeling stuffed and uncomfortable. I need to slowly graze all day instead of having only coffee and then losing my mind at lunch and being in pain all afternoon...
I had fast food two days in a row after being so good. Oops. But also delicious. I think the thing that hasn’t changed throughout this entire pregnancy is my love of French fries
For health reasons, MH's doctor has recommended he follow the Mediterranean diet. Over the holidays I picked up a couple of cookbooks to help guide us, because we really have no idea what we are doing. Now typically I am not a big fan of veggies in my eggs, but for whatever reason these breakfast wraps looked like the greatest thing ever. They did not disappoint. 🤤
Has anybody completely lost their appetite? I’ve been ravenous for the last couple of months, but lately have only been wanting to eat MAYBE once a day.
@doodleoodle, I haven’t lost my appetite but have noticed a definite decrease in it. For me, I get full easily so I don’t eat as much in one sitting but also find myself needing fewer snacks than previously.
