Fast food and pregnancy

I normally stay away from fast food, I always have home cooked meals, but now I can't bear the thought of cooking or the smells. And I am eating so little now... If I'm lucky a slice or two of toast in the morning maybe a small sandwich for lunch and an apple or banana or nuts for a snack. But dinner I can normally eat, and lastly it has only been fast food. If I have a home cooked meal it makes me so sick. But I feel great after a fast food meal. And I'm not gorging and eating like a pig, but a burger and a few frys taste good. Anyone else in the same boat? And what's your favorite fast food crave or item?

  • not really fast food (I have celiac so I can't) but I am totally greasy food and carb loading. Normally I'm a fruits and veggies person so it's different for me.

  • Yep - Wendy's hamburger and their 'homemade' lemonade :) I never eat fast food but my husband does often for lunch...had him pick me up a burger last week and that's all I want now!
  • We don't have fast food in town, there is one fast food place an hour away but not my favorite. We don't even have pizza delivery here :/

    I hate cooking right now and I have a serious aversion to poultry. Eating is tough. We ordered a pizza tonight, but lately dinner has been soup and sandwiches because that's all I can handle making. I'm going to visit my parents next week and I'm so excited to go out for sushi/Mexican and have someone else cook for me and the little guy. DH doesn't do much cooking around here, he has to fend for himself next week since he can't come with us :)

  • Not me, I seriously almost tossed my cookies when I went into a Culvers recently.  But my cousin-in-law was like this with all 3, she lived on Wendy's! 
  • I was like that with my first. I hadn't eaten fast food in about 10 years (it kills my stomach!) and next thing I knew, all I could think of were BK whoppers. Barf, but I couldn't get enough!

  • I'm jealous! I miss small towns! But not being near fast food right now would drive me crazy lol
  • @monkeydilla all I want is In-N-Out but sadly we don't have any here on the east coast :(( I did grab a small fry from McDonald's the other day and they were glorious.

    Boo, that sucks. I really, truly 100% couldn't live anywhere that didn't have In-N-Out.

  • I forgot to take some type of meat for dinner and I'm not feeling pasta. We aren't really fast food people but I just sent DH out for BK. I've been craving a whopper for days and I can't get it out of my head.

    I hope it's worth every bite. I feel totally guilty for it. But I guess baby wants what baby wants. The other night it was Thai food.
  • Chinese food tonight, yummy!

  • I want a Chick-fil-a sandwich so. Freaking. Badly. The closest one is like 13000 miles away. The same goes for a slush from Sonic. And a cheeseburger from Checkers. We move so much that I knew when I got pregnant I would crave unattainable things...
  • We also don't live near an In-N-Out here in the Midwest. Its pretty awful.

    I generally HATE Taco Bell....and I have craved it every day. When I'm not pregnant I'm obsessed with ice cream.....can't handle any dairy now. Its awful :-(

  • Umm...yeah.  I usually eat fast food pretty rarely, but have been eating it way too much lately because I simply cannot cook.  I threw up on the kitchen floor yesterday just trying to fix a little something for DS.

  • Yessss same here once i start cooking i loose my appetite
  • I had a Big Mac and fries yesterday. I haven't eaten or wanted Mc Donald's in over 20 Years. It was inhaled but I was gutted one hour later I was hungry again. Sticking to home made food or pizza in future.
  • I'm not craving it (yet) this time.  But with my first pregnancy I craved BK chicken tenders!

  • Just brought my husband home a mcflurry. I don't I thought pregnancy meant I was supposed to request shitty food and he was the one doing the fetching.

    All joking aside, I also got a mcflurry, fries, and a burger. It was amazing. I don't want to cook, I'm exhausted, everything seems disgusting, and we've traveling and working late. I'll try to be better but I'm also not going to worry about it too much.

  • Wendy's chicken nuggets and a baked potato for dinner tonight. I've had taco Bell a couple times too. Wish I lived near a sonic...

    so glad I'm not the only one who can't handle the thought of cooking

  • I'm in the same boat here. I can't stand most smells when I am trying to cook. I feel really guilty because I do most of the cooking and this week I haven't really made anything for my husband or I. The only thing I really crave right now is McDonald's but I am trying to not over do it. I'm really thankful that my husband is so supportive and says he understands why I don't feel like cooking. Trying to minimize the damage by exercising like I always have in the mornings and eating lots of fruits and veggies. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can handle the smell of foods again :)
  • Tostada from el pollo loco, filet-o-fish & fries from McDonald's, chicken quesadilla from Taco Bell...and most of it doesn't satisfy me. At. All. Haven't cooked since thanksgiving... I'm such a foodie... so I'm really sad I'm not satisfied.

    McDonald's chicken nuggets and fried are like gold...but I have a whole list of fast food restaurant cravings A&W cheese curds,Bk whopper,Dominos Philly cheese steak pizza, Thai food, and that's it for now oops sorry one more Olive garden chicken Alfredo pizza. That's all my fast food cravings so far the only one that I have gotten is McDonald's because we are between cars so I can't just jump up and go. When we do get another car in a few weeks I'm going to have a glorious time.

    Edit: fries spelling is hard

    This was me with my first too!

    My nausea just started getting bad this week and I already had meals planned, but I already know next week is going to be a challenge and foresee lots of super simple meals and take out over the next few weeks. Plus, I own a cookie business and the next few weeks are my busiest of the year, so there is no way I'm going to be making dinner every night after baking all day!
  • Prior to last week I hadn't eaten typical fast food in over 2 years! (I don't really count Chipotle, Panera or pizza as "fast food")

    Since then I've had Sonic, Burger King and Chick fil A.  It's only a matter of time before I hit up Wendy's McD's and Taco Bell (although I'd prefer Rosa's cafe or at least Taco Bueno for fast mexican)

  • We have way too much fast food and it's way too handy! McDonalds, KFC, Subway, Turkish, noodle box, fish n chips, Thai, Chinese and burgers all within a 5min drive! So dangerous
    I also can't stand the smell of meat cooking!
  • Last week all I wanted was quarter ponders. Got one yesterday, took one bite started gagging.

    Now the thought makes me want hurl.

    No more fast food for me.
  • Pre pregnancy fries were my shit. I could throw down a ton of fries without hesitation, and covered in hot sauce.
    Looking at fries makes me want to barf now and it's so sad. Hot sauce seems so much hotter now too. My absolute favorite foods have turned on me.

  • @beepity‌ yummmm Rosa's!!

    I am looking forward to the day I get my appetite back. I've been wanting some tacos from Taco Casa, but I am certain they would not stay down. Last night at a Christmas party everyone was raving about the five bean chili. DH asked if I wanted to try his but I had to pass on that one!

  • Absolutely. I never feel like cooking anymore because the smells & sights of weird textures makeme nauseous. However, I was just driving home from work & literally every restaurant looked delicious. 

    And then that Anna Kendrick song came on and when she says "you're gonna miss me by my talk--oh" I always say it sounds like she's saying "you're gonna miss me by my taco." And then I instantly wanted Taco Bell. Or even better, homemade tacos that I didn't make. ;p

  • I'm not so much a fast food person either and I try not to eat it too much while pregnant but I feel like crap if I don't eat it. Damn mcdonalds lol
  • Wendy's chicken nuggets and chocolate frostys are amazing to me right now. That's definitely my favorite craving so far.
