What are you eating/craving/not eating this week?

Magheeta · August 2016

Eating and craving HUMMUS. Lots of hummus.

My aversion to sweets, milk, and coffee have already kicked in. Booooo.

What are you eating/craving/not eating this week?
Eating veggies and fruit...trying to eat through out the day instead of my usual eating what I can until I get home at night.

It's been tough and I feel like I have been forcing myself to eat, not because I'm sick but just cause food just is "meh" right now. Nothing really sounds interesting and no real cravings yet. Usually though when something actually sounds good for once it's something salty though.

I'm pretty meh about food. Not many real aversions but just not excited about it. I put half of my ice cream in the freezer tonight because I was just not into it.

pinkshades05 · August 2016

My appetite has been really low except healthy foods--salads, fruits, veggies, grilled chicken.

LilyGracesMommy · August 2016

Moe's!!! give me all the salad bowls and hotsauce and jalepenos.
Really feeling Mexican food at the moment, went to a local place for dinner and still wanting bean burritos.

With my pregnancy's I tend to not get morning sickness because I carb overload. the only times I get nauseous are when I haven't eaten recently enough. its like my body's way of saying "time for more carbs!"

lovelongdog06 · August 2016

@Magheeta I've been into the hummus lately too! It took me forever to find pita chips to go with it, for some bizzare reason. I've also wanted cheesecake, ice cream, sweet tea with popcorn, and lemonade. Every time I make a food request, DH says matter of factly, "you're pregnant."

TheJerilu · August 2016

Jealous of you not-hungry ladies because my appetite has been in overdrive! I'm basically either eating or sleeping right now.

WkoutMomtoBe · August 2016

Yesterday was first day that I was meh about food. I feel fine for most part just not a huge appetite. Nothing sounds good and I get full easily. So I'll have to make myself eat the small meals and snacks which is what I thing they recommend.

I did go to the store yesterday and stock up on some to go type snacks. Because even before I was pregnant I was snacky and get hangry, lightheaded, headache if I don't eat by certain time. Yay Aldi for some healthy snacks like string cheese, the kids to go squeezable applesauce, dried fruit, freeze dried fruit and some not so healthy 100 calorie packs of chocolate covered pretzels. And of course fresh fruit. I also grabbed the baby puffs because they were on sale and are very light. I grabbed a few in car before my next errand (along with dried mango and strawberries..lol)

Magheeta · August 2016

@WkoutMomtoBe I LOVE Aldi!

Neikoda · August 2016

DH made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies yesterday. So those are my not-so healthy snack atm. Figured I should take advantage before they no longer sound appealing.

scorpiomer · August 2016

PB&J have been the only thing that sounds good this week!! Nothing else looks or sounds remotely appetizing.

housewifehobbyist · August 2016

I've been eating a lot of protein - eggs, cottage cheese, nuts, chicken to curb nausea and making sure I eat lots of fiber- an apple and 4 prunes a day, for that other unpleasant symptom. I really haven't been craving anything so far, so I've been trying to stay healthy.

runningpenguin · August 2016

Milk. I went through gallons of when I was pregnant with Monkey. Right now food kind of turns me off.

gaylew5 · August 2016

Healthy! Basically vegan food + some salmon or eggs (obviously not vegan). I've been having the desire to eat cleanly

TheJerilu · August 2016

Ladies, I don't mean to brag, but I just ate an entire cauliflower. It was literally the size of my head and filled a 13x9 pan to the brim. Also I put (pasteurized) goat cheese on it.

It was delicious and I wouldn't change a second of it.

cookies754 · August 2016

That sounds so good @TheJerilu

Mama5181 · August 2016

Carbs. Give me all the carbs!!! I'm completely meh about food right now. Nothing tastes good and when I do really crave something I'm so bummed it doesn't taste right.

Although I had a ridiculous craving for the pioneer woman salsa today!! I made dh stop and get the ingredients so I can make it tomorrow. I even made him but very specific chips. Please oh please make it taste wonderful!!

WkoutMomtoBe · August 2016

so felt fine and not hungry but just made myself eat breakfast and now I feel icky. Boo

missbriarbee · August 2016

I usually work out before breakfast, but the only symptom I recognize now is that I"m hungry in the morning, and hungrier than usual throughout the day! I"m keeping it super healthy and following this gal's mostly vegan pregnancy plan: https://mamaglow.com I am not a dedicated vegan, but I"m using that as my foundation and doing organic/grass fed proteins to supplement.

BecNJake · August 2016

My naturopath recommended protein every few hours. Lots of small servings to control nausea. I was so sick early on with DS in my last pregnancy, but small servings of beef jerky and cheese sticks have helped tremendously this time around so far!

Breesy14 · August 2016

Churros and vanilla ice cream at a most delicious mexican restaurant. It was not a fancy place, but was authentic - so they made them all by hand. Homemade ice cream too! Did you read that?? It was exquisite! It was melding in my mouth in a way no food has before! But that's not all, I ate avocado enchiladas with crab meat on top. It was all wonderful. Now I am bloated and miserable. But it was worth it! I'd do it again if that same food ever came my way. So much yum.

lovelongdog06 · August 2016

@TheJerilu cauliflower sounds amazing! Do you melt the cheese on it?

theredofhead · August 2016

All the meat. Give me all the meat.

ladameperdue · August 2016

Chicken broth and lemonade. Yum, right?

Neikoda · August 2016

@ladameperdue I made lemonade popsicles and they are the best.

^How I feel while eating said popsicle^

TheJerilu · August 2016

@lovelongdog06 Yup, roasted the cauli in the oven for about 30 at 400F, then sliced up the cheese and heated it for another 10 and stirred it all together in a tangy, delicious mess.

BluesGal10 · August 2016

Currently craving salad and seafood (lobster especially), but I can't have the seafood, so that sucks. Currently eating yogurt and a bagel.

STM2017 · August 2016

I feel like it's too early to be this hungry!!!! I don't remember this with DS at all. And it's also so early for me to be feeling nauseous. But I am! I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow. Last pregnancy, I gained WAY more than I wanted to. I craved carbs and was sick like crazy with fruits and veggies. So I'm going to be trying really hard this time around to have some healthier eating/exercise habits. I haven't had any cravings or food aversions so far (thank goodness), I'm just feeling hungry all. the. time.
