What are you snacking on?

PedsIsHardcore · August 2015

I'm having a hard time gaining weight and I want to know other snack options. Please share what snacks you like right now!

Jwrig104 · August 2015

I am absolutely obsessed with fig nutins! (Gf ones of course though)

wisco29 · August 2015

Pickles. frosted animal crackers. Apples with peanut butter. Fruit snacks. Plain animal cracker, String cheese, Home made pumpkin oatmeal choc chip cookies, and whatever else sounds okay to eat or we happen to have around.

Can you tell I have a toddler? Lots of toddler foods are also what I eat

This thread was a few days ago- I think it was mostly gifs but there were some good snack ideas in there

Granola bars

baby0708 · August 2015

Peanut butter and strawberry smuckers uncrustables and apples here . PB&J and apples have really been the only two things I can tolerate consistently thus far. At least the peanut butter is a great source of protein!

pettycrocker · August 2015

I just had some nachos with cheese... but I like carrot chips with a little dressing or hummus, and I picked up some special k protein bars which are great on the go.

They are sooooo good!

MamaFroFro · August 2015

I did milkshakes to gain back weight.

acuteangles · August 2015

I try to snack on a piece of fruit or cheese in the afternoon at work, but Im not really snacky these days. Except right now when I read this thread and made myself some toast because I got hungry!

RRC216 · August 2015

Fig/ strawberry newtons, grapes, strawberries, string cheese, bell peppers with hummus, granola bars, celery and peanut butter.

brushesnbrunch · August 2015

Lots and lots of peanut butter, nuts, avocado

oregontrailmom · August 2015

Bagels and cream cheese! I pretty much eat them all day long.

hlmdeck · August 2015

I don't know if any of you have even heard of these, but I have been obsessing over Aussie Bites. They are the perfect filling two-bite grabbable sweet carb that I don't feel too guilty about and SO DELICIOUS. If I keep going on and on do you think they'd sponsor me?

oxsarah7ox · August 2015

PedsIsHardcore I am in the same boat, having a hard time gaining/keeping weight. My Dr said it was fine at our appt the other day because I was eating really healthy right now (lots and lots of fruit and yogurt and stuff) but it does have me worried. I typically eat apples or watermelon or grapes as a snack. I started this week eating more. I now bring a yogurt, apple sauce, peanut butter and fluff sandwich, and a tub of apple slices in with my lunch so I will eat all of that throughout the day but I know I need more!

I stood in front of uncrustables for a good 2-3 minutes the other day then didn't get them. I think I need to get them today lol

MamaFroFro · August 2015

I was just curious, why are your doctors concerned @oxsarah7ox and @Pedslshardcore? I had originally lost ten and my weight gain is on the slower side. At my visit yesterday my midwife didn't seemed concerned at all. For my weight, 10 lbs seemed like a lot to me but they've never been concerned as long as I kept myself hydrated.

notasycophant · August 2015

Agree with @MamaFroFro, my doctor doesnt care either. She says that at 17 weeks , it's too early to care because the baby doesn't need much and only weighs a whopping 170 gms.

AggieKim · August 2015

I was asked to gain only 20 pounds and I'm still not very hungry, especially compared to my first pregnancy. I'm not worried about it until my doc is. I'm hoping to save the majority of my weight gain for third tri.

uncrustables are amazing!

Liane28 · August 2015

Everything. I'm snacking of everything!

DrillSergeantCat · August 2015

Yesterday was Frito's and bean dip. I made myself sick.

kateryna72 · August 2015

My favorite snack right now is popcorn with old bay seasoning or nachos. I also love apples with cheese, so I'm super excited that it's almost apple season here in ny!

dtaded13 · August 2015

Nectarines, peaches, sugar snap peas with ranch, spicy Cheetos, and anything else that sounds good

Fullerj21 · August 2015

Besides trying to eat healthy snacks ( nuts, fruit, yogurt) I have been obsessed with Cheetos.. The big puffy ones.

oxsarah7ox · August 2015

@MamaFroFro My dr isn't concerned I meant. Said that I was fine since I was eating healthy. I just meant it makes me nervous! But, like most of us, I think I am nervous about everything Lol.

MamaFroFro · August 2015

Oh I see! I was worried myself too hence the milkshakes

pbtoast · August 2015

I shouldn't read things like this. Now I want all of the above.

xkatiekx · August 2015

I can't get enough apples which sucks because it's hard to find decent apples right now but thankfully fall is just around the corner. Watermelon and peanut butter toast have been good snacks or popcorn lately. Cheetos sound good now thanks to PP!

maureenmce · August 2015

Avocados! I am eating a whole one some mornings for breakfast. So filling and full of healthy fats! (Though I am in Southern California, where they are plentiful, cheap and delicious, so maybe this isn't a good option everywhere.)

Otherwise, if you're looking to gain weight, you can add a smoothie to your diet, liquid calories almost always up weight gain and you can make them pretty healthy and delicious. You can do a peanut butter, banana and milk smoothie, for example. Or strawberry, banana, berries and spinach with OJ, etc.

robinj716 · August 2015

I just discovered something called "wholly guacamole" and I've been eating that with carrots.

Now you all have me craving apples and peanut butter!

& I can't forget the uncrustables, oh my! The new ones with chocolate filling- yum!

maureenmce · August 2015

@robinj716 I am addicted to wholly guacamole! It's the best! And only 100 calories but really filling.

I swear between those and the plain avocados I've been having, my baby is going to come out green, haha.

cbou · August 2015

I still can't eat fruits or veggies, but I found some fruit gummies I can stomach. I also like string cheese, nuts, and yogurt.

I've actually lost weight and the doctor isn't concerned as long as I'm drinking enough water. She wants me to gain 20 lbs total and I figure I have lots of time for that.

jaimeruns · August 2015

Frozen mango chunks from Trader Joes.... straight out of the bag. Tonight I put them on top of some greek yogurt though and it was amazeballs.

SamiSaurus · August 2015

Chicken

Katty422 · August 2015

Goldfish... Pb honey sandwichs, oreo thins which are really very good! I was skeptical about this!

PedsIsHardcore · August 2015

I am so going shopping and getting a lot of what you ladies have said! Apples and peanut butter, watermelon, uncrustables...the list of yummies goes on! Thank you all soo very much!

crewchc20 · August 2015

I like apples and cheddar cheese, dried fruit (especially crasins) with nuts, yogurt with granola, popcorn is also good but not as much nutritional value and I'd look for one that is "natural" or doesn't have loads of artificial flavor/colors/preservatives.

sonoshark88 · August 2015

Red hot potato chips today

Lola2o1 · August 2015

Lime tostitos. Soooo good!
