let's be honest here ladies

So, how many of you actually eat lots of veggies? ?It's not that I don't like them... it's just that I don't eat enough.. Maybe 1 or 2 servings a day. ?I know I should eat more, especially now being pregnant, but really how many of you are REALLY eating a considerable amount?

LauraOTR · October 2010

Right now..almost none.

cvl105 · October 2010

I don't eat enough...which is why I told myself I'm going to start eating salad for lunch every day or at least most days. I was good the last two days!

flows912 · October 2010

I know what you mean. I'm trying to be healthier by eating salads during lunch (not nuch of a salad person) and making veggie side dishes but I'm sure its only a matter of time before I revert back to my old ways ways of meat and rice!

jerriesgirl · October 2010

Pre-pregnancy I was getting 3-4/day in. I'm running 5/day now.

SarahP15 · October 2010

Probably 1-2 servings daily.

DuckysDoll · October 2010

Almost none. I just cant digest them at all right now!

Melissa2216 · October 2010

I am lucky if I eat one full serving a day. I try on most days, but I just don't ever crave veggies. I really have to force myself to eat them.

amanda1680 · October 2010

Pre-pregnancy: A ton. I love veggies. No lie.

Now: Pretty much none. Unless you actually count potatoes as veggies, which I don't. I haven't had "real" veggies in almost 2 weeks. It's totally foreign and quite sad for me.

bookkitten · October 2010

I actually love fruit and veggies and have been craving them even more. Seriously - roasted beets are like crack to me! In fact, I think I have some in the fridge now...

Syncronicity09 · October 2010

I eat them like crazy, I crave them. I also seem to have a slight sugar aversion.

IdigDirt · October 2010

This is bad to admit but maybe 1-2 servings (unless you could olives, then maybe 5) and I am a vegan.

nic5606 · October 2010

I try to eat a vegetable at dinner every night. I have added more fruit to my diet, hope that counts for something!

ikissedthecook · October 2010

For most of the day, if it's not starchy I can't stomach the idea. I ate a salad for dinner today, so at least that's something. I'm actually craving vegetable beef soup. I think I may pick some up this weekend for lunch next week.

jcsumm0 · October 2010

I do like veggies, but I find it overwhelming to eat enough. I have seen recommendations for 5-7 servings--that just seems insane! I shoot for 5 servings of fruit and veggies a day and I usually meet that. I don't worry too much whether its mostly fruit or mostly veggies.

geminimommy · October 2010

I take a whole food supplement. Checked it out with the dr and got cleared to take it. Started taking it before I got pregnant and saw such a difference. Helps me get the nutrients of 14 fruits and veggies a day. I'm always more concerned about veggies because I just can't make myself eat them. This helps me bridge that gap.

If it wasn't for that... zilch.

BELOVEDCARMEL · October 2010

Not as much as I need to be eating. I really dont have a appetite for anything that my body needs. Thank god for prenatal vitamins.

Ditto on this! I was eating 5-6 servings of fruits+veggies a day before and being super healthy...and then...nausea and food aversions kicked in and now I am living on freaking carbs I mean I am hating meats too...and i usually love beans and yogurt too...none of that...I am eating like a freaking fussy kid makes me sometimes feel like a bad mommy...but i know 2nd tri I will be more normal and back to myself ((Hoping!)))

lovejoyinme · October 2010

yea i actually don't really like veggies. i am more of a fruit girl. usually i get one serving or maybe 2 a day. lately i have been trying to get a solid 3. i had stir fry for dinner tonight so i think i got at least that many.

MommaA117 · October 2010

I'm a vegetarian so I usually eat a pretty good amount.

0hkgbs · October 2010

Not enough. Ate more before i found out I was PG. Salads just aren't appealing to me right now. Trying to get them in other ways...not working out so well.

northtamarack · October 2010

I get in at least three servings a day, but I find it much easier to get in fruit.

Sazhrah · October 2010

I am a vegetarian so prepregnancy a ton of them. But now I can only stomach toast with butter, and plain pasta. So I drink a v8 everyday to help maintain some sort of healthy habits. hopefully the food aversion thing will go away soon.

Becky262 · October 2010

The thought of throwing up lettuce or carrots is disgusting, so I'm not eating any at the moment

KelXoXo · October 2010

Basically none. My diet is oatmeal, soup, and toast. I can't handle much of anything else.

This. I ate a ton pre-preg but now my "morning" sickness has been so bad and the last thing I want is fruit or veggies......so sad. I really hope this changes soon!!!

MrsEmilyS · October 2010

almost none

i was proud of myself for eating an apple today

mommy411 · October 2010

hurl

All I can eat right now are Cheez-Itz

NatT82 · October 2010

I am all about fruit right now! Can't get enough of it and I bought some V8 fusion to get veggies that way.

Jessynlove · October 2010

LauraOTR:
Right now..almost none.

DuckDuckGoose123 · October 2010

I'm usually not a huge veggie eater and I don't really care for fruit, but oddly, I've been craving both lately. I'm indulging the cravings, since God only knows what I'll be craving later in the pregnancy.

LOL I've been loading up my salad bar thing with sliced bell peppers, beets, watermelon...

aflowers · October 2010

I hardly eat any veggies. I'm trying to do better by eating more fruit, but fruit actually sounds good.

chyrstol06 · October 2010

I've never really been a fan of veggies. MH keeps trying to sneak them into my dinner. They just aren't appealing. I've been drinking Green Juice and Carrot Orange juice from Trader Joe's to make sure I get some veggies throughout the day.

LeeLee930 · October 2010

LauraOTR:

This unless we count french fries, tatter tots, zuccini sticks, you catch my drift. Normally I love veggies, but right now I cannot stand the sight or smell.

However, I am loving soups...lentil, split pea, etc. so I am getting my vegetables from somewhere.

klv · October 2010

I try for 2/day. Usually I can get that, sometimes not. I do better with fruit....I usually have an applesauce for a snack at some point in the day. Lunch is usually leftovers from the night before but I do have salad today!

I dont worry about it too much. I do my best. That is why we are all on prenatals.
