Pregnancy Diet Staples

shevaCC · May 2016

Do you have one or two foods that form the core of your pregnancy diet? In my normal life I eat a decent variety of foods, but this pregnancy I'm all about buttered toast. If I can't stomach whatever DH and the kids are eating for dinner, I'll make toast. I have it for breakfast nearly every morning. If I'm starving and need a snack, it's the first thing I turn to. With DS, I ate tons and tons of plain cheerios. I can't remember any more what I relied on when pregnant with DD.

Think thin protein bars, because I can always choke one down to get something in my tummy if I'm feeling too nauseated to function. Peanut butter on gluten free crackers and sliced apple. I can pretty much always get one of those three things down and they're easy to take on the go.

Pretzel bagels with butter. And alllll the fruit.

jrussell16 · May 2016

I second @comealongponds with all the fruit. I bought a whole watermelon yesterday and it will be gone by Monday for sure.

I can eat a pineapple in a day. And probably half a watermelon....a full pint of stwarberries and/or blueberries...it's crazy! I guess it's better than craving crap all the time (not that I don't sometimes!)

I feel like since the only other thing I'm craving is cheese, balancing that with fruit isn't the worst diet I could imagine. It's not great, but I throw in grilled chicken and veggies every once in a while.

I LOVE pineapple but I'm highly allergic so it's the one fruit that I can't have right now even though I wish I could.

Half a PB&J sandwich is my 10am snack every single day...and lots and lots of watermelon!

MrsMaryK2016 · May 2016

ALLLLL I want right now is a Publix sub. If you aren't lucky enough to have a Publix grocery store near you, you are seriously missing out. They are the best subs you'll ever have. But since deli meat is a no no I haven't caved even though I really, really want to.

I think with my prior pregnancies I was vomiting so much I only ate stuff that came back up easily. Yogurt. Soup. Toast. This time I'm nauseous but haven't vomited much. I'm in love with pineapple pizza. I have it once a week. That and this Birdseye dish that is veggies in a garlic sauce.

I've never had a pretzel bagel but it sounds amazing. I've also been all about the bread and butter, and fruit. I actually did eat an entire pineapple by myself the other day. My tongue burned so bad after!

MissAmeliaPond · May 2016

Jamba juice is consumed frequently. I have grilled cheese and PB&J a lot too. I try to eat fruit and veggies, but I'm still having issues with sour/tart flavors...

Sheybre · May 2016

A lot of smoothies. And my go to PB&J when I feel like my blood sugar is getting low.

therealvday · May 2016

Green smoothies and Taco Bell... life is all about balance, right?

beforeyou · May 2016

apples, yogurt and any/all carbs. Especially bagels with cream cheese lately.

Katemr1146 · May 2016

Chicken fried rice and all the carbs

zuuls_mom · May 2016

I have cereal every single day and my other go-to's are pretzels, fruit and cottage cheese.

atcwag · May 2016

Fruits and vegetables, especially "water-heavy" ones - cucumber, green peppers, melon...
Bagels w/ cream cheese.

I've only ever seen them at Tim Hortons...I'm obsessed!

Katemr1146 · May 2016

Omg that sounds amazing ^

lrg14 · May 2016

We just got a Tim Horton's next to my job! Gonna have to try this amazing pretzel bagel.

Ive also been doing lots of bagels and cream cheese, cereal and fruit. Also snacking on almonds and granola bars. Decent amount of pizza and chips and salsa. Fresh salads are good but not loving cooked veggies.

Hedgessm · May 2016

Lots of melon and all the pizza. I really need to cut back on the pizza

Oakleypoozles · May 2016

I've been all about the baked french fries. It seems like the only thing I can keep down sometimes. In the event it can't be kept down it's one of the least offensive coming back up too.

After reading about Toast that actually sounds really good though I'm feeling like I should get some!

RaeJ004 · May 2016

Milkshakes and carbs. That's about it.

jenesiso · May 2016

Coke and the bacon egg cheese bagel from mcdonalds. Lol...just keeping it real.

Kittens22 · May 2016

Chips. That pretty much sums it up. And agree with all the carbs!
I was craving a bagel yesterday, drove to Tim Horton's and got my usual double-toasted cheese bagel with extra butter. It was so good that I GOT A SECOND ONE and polished it off. That was at 11am.... Definitely went to bed at 930 that night.

MrsBigTime · May 2016

I'm just so glad to be over my McChicken craving!! Now it's mostly carbs and cheese.

OMG a McChicken sounds so good right now.

sweetlyuntied · May 2016

In the first tri it was all junk, but now I'm like @atcwag with th water-heavy fruits and veggies. Salads with romaine, tomatoes, and ranch dressing have been huge.

The he only other junk item is a regular coke. I think partially because of the caffeine (being unable to stomach coffee has me going through withdrawals). I need to stop.

butterkup-2 · May 2016

El Monterey Chicken and Monterey Jack Cheese chimichangas...for breakfast. Initially I felt guilty, but lots of protein, and fewer calories than a breakfast sandwich.

MissAmeliaPond · May 2016

Noah's Bagels (or Einstein's elsewhere?) also has pretzel bagels. They're bomb.

Elev429 · May 2016

Mixed green salad with bacon, boiled egg red onion and homemade ranch accompanied by an everything bagel smothered in garden veg cream cheese. Mmmmmm

143veli · May 2016

Omg I need a pretzel bagel in my life. ..seriously hating all I want is carbs (bread/fruit) this baby is ruining my strict paleo diet already

Seattleite86 · May 2016

Now that im 15 weeks i have no nausea or aversions anymore so i can eat anything! So pretty much just my normal diet again now. Its incredible that just a few weeks ago i was struggling through hell on earth to function and gagging down luna bars at 4am. Now im making a rack of lamb and a 3 tiered cake for a baby shower. First trimesters are no joke! Think l'll make falafel tonight.

Chcaggie1 · May 2016

Seattleite86 yummy falafel!

I eat popcorn for my afternoon snack ea day. I've enjoyed cheerios with milk for breakfast and tell myself its heart healthy and the almond milk (calcium) is good for baby. :-)

I'm also pretty hooked on fruit! watermelon and grapes are my go to. I need to get some cuties too.

MollySm · May 2016

Honey bunches of oats is all I can stomach for breakfast.

All the fruit - especially frozen green grapes.

Salads
