Anyone have suggestions for lower cal snacks? I'm 35 weeks and on bed rest and find myself hungry all the time! Some of it may be the boredom of being around the house and nothing else to think about! Due to the bed rest (this is week 5 of bed rest) the weight is really packing on... So what are your go to snacks? Bonus points for sweet snacks since I have a huge sweet tooth! Also, am I the only one or others with me? :)

IUI#1- 25 mg clomid- July 2012= BFN!
IUI #2 August = BFN!
IUI #3 September = BFN!

IVF #1 November - converted to IUI #4 due to poor response = BFN
IVF #1.2 February- converted to IUI #5 due to poor response = BFN

    I'm so with you on this! I'm day 9 ofpossibly rest. The hospital offers healtht options, which are usually side salads, yogurt, gelatin, gluten free puddings, pretzels, cotrage cheese, fruits. I had my mom bring me popcorn, trail mix, protein bars, string cheese, chex mix, Orange sherbet.

    Any other ideas, let me know. I have possibly another two weeks here.

    I keep boiled eggs in the fridge. I love oranges too. Sadly I haven't gotten much of my appetite back yet.

    I am loving oranges, too! What about popsicles? The regular popsicle brand ones are less than 100 calories I think. I've been craving fruit, too. Or fruit smoothies. My favorite smoothie to make is ice, vanilla greek yogurt, banana, scoop of of pb and a little tsp of chocolate powder. Keeps me full for a while.

    Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries and some granola.
    Cottage cheese
    Applesauce with cinnamon
    Apple slices and peanut butter (plus cinnamon or choc chips)
    Carrots and hummus
    Trail mix (or dry cereal and peanuts, choc chips, mini-marshmallows, craisins etc...)

    Most of these have protein and a little fat, so they should help you feel fuller longer.

    I'm starting to get hungry all the time, too! I feel like I eat something and it evaporates instead of digesting! I love carrots and hummus or white bean dip.
