What are your cravings or aversions? What are your go-to snack ideas? We need to hear em! Eating feels like a full time job right now! 😆

Anything with pasta lately, Baked bbq lays, asparagus. My beef aversion is gone but my coffee one is still going strong.

I’ve been making veggie sandwiches for weeks. Been craving sweets since day 1 but have already gained a good amount of weight so trying to be thoughtful. Also interested in any healthy, easy meal ideas from anyone!

Carbs. Pasta. Pizza. Lord help me not gain 50lbs like I did with my last. 😩🙏

Currently obsessed with the oatmilk smores ice cream that so delicious makes.

I've been craving fruit loops lately. I had a nice expensive meal at a restaurant the other day and all I wanted to do is come home and eat a bowl of fruit loops lol

This is going to sound so gross but I crave and eat this every-single-day…. 

Tuna with avocado. I put two packs of tuna in a bowl with a chopped up avocado and sprinkle balsamic vinegar and everything bagel seasoning all over it. 😂 It’s so good and salty. I love it.

i feel like now that I’m in 2nd tri a lot of my cravings have gone away … I still can’t do anything with onion though. I had a salad the other night (no onion) and I swear I could smell onion as if they had to take it off before they gave it me 👀😂

Otherwise pickles and olives are high on my list. Every morning I have an egg, avocado sandwich, followed by my usual smoothie. I naturally eat a lot of fruit and I believe that’s why I don’t crave sweets at all. If anything I eat a lot in the morning but otherwise feel like my normal self again with food now it’s weird.

I deff felt like I had to eat more / had more cravings near the end of the 1st tri compared to now. Anyone else?

@oli9 that sound that gross actually haha 

@tuxielove93 deff going to try that, their chocolate chip cookie dough is my favorite

I bought a package of Chips Ahoy now that I'm incorporating gluten back into my diet and OMG I forgot how freaking delicious these cookies are.

Oh my gosh, @francesgs I can't get enough of baked chips either! 

francesgs

@leelynkh so good!

While at the store I got SUCH a hankering for peaches cut up and marinated in sugar…… but we don’t have any peaches right now 😩 we do have cherries again but I don’t want them anymore.

@tuxielove93 I got so excited because our store has cherries again AND my husband bought me a HUUUUGE container. 😆 (He does the grocery shopping.)

For lunch I had a great salad with a million veggies, chicken, walnuts - it was so yummy. For dinner I had 2 cannolis. It's about balance folks 😂

I went to my favorite bookstore this weekend and there just happened to be some girl scouts selling cookies outside! So you know my pregnant self bought three boxes! It was so exciting. Thin mints are the best. 😋

I’ve been craving acids- lots of citrus and lots of tomato-based things. I made tomato basil soup for lunch today and it was amazing…

francesgs

@sunshineandlemons That is what I crave now and when I was pregnant with my daughter. Give me anything tomato based and I am happy!

I’m craving Iceberg lettuce like a mad person this week. That’s all I want… (with blue cheese dressing and crumbles 😬) but it’s an overpowering craving. So crunchy and crispy and watery and good.

Early on it was pizza and burgers …then I had a veggie sandwich phase…I also love tuna melts but am limiting those and only buying the safe catch brand. Now I’m making lots of toast and hard boiled eggs. I was a daily eggs person pre-pregnancy (usually over easy) and now I only want hard boiled. And of course my sweets cravings are through the roof - I was a chocoholic pre Preg and now I also want sour candy which is very unlike me. But trying to be healthy…yogurt, Greek salads, etc.. always open to new easy, healthy meal ideas!!

McDonald's vanilla milkshakes. I never ordered these pre-pregnancy, but it has been the most random, strong craving in the last two weeks I've gotten three! I had another random one with my last pregnancy: Tim Horton's frozen raspberry lemonade, funny thing is, now I really don't like that drink at all! Cravings are so funny - but man, is it ever satisfying to give in to pregnancy cravings! Nothing else on earth tastes as good haha

All I’ve been able to think about all week is macaroni and cheese. I am normally not much of a Mac and cheese person aside from holidays but I bought a 3 pack box of the velveta and plan for that to be dinner tonight. 

sunshineandlemons

@bearsandbeets7 I’ve been eating a lot of mac and cheese too. Mostly out of laziness because I’ve not wanted to wash and cut my head of lettuce at lunch time, so I’ve had my kids’ easy mac lol! No regrets!

tuxielove93

I just wanted everything at costco today. All the snacks. I stuck to the list but it was hard

I had such a strong craving for salmon this week, so I went and got a nice filet and baked it just how I would want it and by the time it was done, I was totally grossed out by salmon and only ate one bite and gave the rest to my dogs and cat. 😂  

Oh pregnancy.
