appt. yesterday

Saw a dietitian yesterday for GD.  Even though I've done this diet the last 2 pregnancies, I actually got some good info.  I have to track every thing I eat for a little while because I guess they are concerned that I'm not getting enough calories.  I was concerned about getting too much fat in my diet with having a high protein low carb diet.  And the amount of carbs I'm allowed is actually for a 1200 calorie diet, so I learned that I have to make some of those needed calories up in fat.  I need at least 1800 calories.  Pretty informative.  Guess I'll be consumed with tracking this for a week or so, just so I know I'm getting the nutrition I need.  I'm slightly overwhelmed with the thought of how much time and planning this will take though.  Jeez!

sounds like a lot of work, but totally worth it for your health/safety and the baby's, right?

I'd love to hear some of the healthy/yummy stuff you incorporate into your menu

I'll let you know.  Right now its 2 eggs almost every morning for breakfast and a piece of wheat sour dough toast.  I'm going to have to get creative.  I got some baked garlic pita chips and tomato basil hummus at the store last night.  Thought I'd try that.  If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.  I LOVE TO COOK!
