  Like 50 bowls of cereal a day. 
  
  I’ve also been craving really cold fruit, so I guess that’s a health win... but really I need to cut down on my beige food intake.

  @frenchiekinplusone "beige food" haha.  I hear ya.  
  
  I'm working to pack my lunches more, like atleast 3/4 days a week.
  
  I've been craving every kind of morning star veggie burgers.  I've been throwing those on rice, salads, steamed veggies etc.  That's my planned lunches for this week.
  
  Snack preference: RX bars (or Nakd which are basically the same at RX but an english company that my family owns), berries, yogurts, cheez-itz, popcorn
  
  Dinners:  we do meat/starch/veggie pretty much 90% of the time.  It's getting boring but it always tastes good and is easy to plan.  Need to mix it up here.  Tonight is tacos which I'm super excited about!

  @frenchiekinplusone I'm also eating ALL THE CEREAL.
  
  I've finally gotten myself on the meal planning train again so we're having stuffed pepper soup tonight.

  NY eve day we had so much food all day to munch on, with leftovers of course, but tonight DH is throwing together chicken tortilla soup. Salads are tasting good these days, along with clementines and apples (and chocolate  )

  Raw veggies and ranch dip. Which is funny because during the 1st trimester raw vegetables were the only thing guaranteed to make me feel nauseous.

  French Fries the greaser and salter the better, and Ice Cream.  I also been wanting more salads so it is helping with getting some healthy food.

  I haven't had any real cravings this entire pregnancy, other than a sweet tooth, but I think that's more of a habit I created rather than a craving.  My goal now is to stay away from the sugar! With the holidays over, hopefully it will be easier.
  
  DH surprised me with a Le Creuset set for Christmas and I have happily been using them.  Yesterday, I made a huge pot of chili....so that is what I'll be having for lunches the rest of this week.  Breakfast is toasted Ezekiel bread with either avocado or egg and pepperjack cheese.  Dinner is lean proteins and whatever sides I have on hand.  For snacks Ive been keeping the RX bars on hand, bananas with peanut butter or boars head chipotle chicken and a string cheese (I roll it up and microwave for about 30 seconds).

  @scuba_chic I’ve been on an Ezekiel bread and egg kick here too! Cinnamon raisin was my choice for last week!

  Every Christmas treat in sight for the past few weeks.  I’m so glad the holidays have past and it’s cleared out of my house. 
  
  DS and I have been enjoying clementines with sliced Colby jack cheese as a snack.
  
  I am also team all the cereal. And toast. 
  
  Dinner is whatever meal I make, but we have a pretty diverse rotation of what I make. I also meal prepped as I go back to work tomorrow, so I have two weeks of cilantro lime quinoa with salsa shredded chicken and roasted corn that I’ll top with avocado, lime wedge, and sliced grape tomatoes. I’m looking forward to getting back into my healthy routine.

  I'm trying to up my protein now that the idea is it isn't so gag worthy.  I'm trying to eat healthier but I can't seem to get in many veggies. But I do usually have a salad at lunch.

  I've been drinking a shake with a scoop of protein powder and a carnation instant breakfast for the vitamins almost everyday lately because I've noticed my protein intake has been shit.
  
  Otherwise I'm also on the cereal train!

  I wish I could eat some ice cream, it’s a frozen tundra here right now! 
  
  DH made chicken burrito bowls last night that were amazing and I had leftovers for lunch. He had the day off so he meal planned and shopped so I am all about this surprise meal plan this week- which I also don’t have to cook  
  
  ive been craving oatmeal in the morning and cereal too. Cereal really is the best food IMO. I have peanut butter puffins right now.

  @nessa1632 I am alllllll about the peanut butter puffins. They are in my constant rotation with Honey Bunches of Oats and frosted mini wheats because I’m 4.

  @frenchiekinplusone and @nessa1632 might I recommend the choc/peanut butter cheerios.  They are delightful!  I had a bite of DDs plain corn chex this am, also delightful.

  +1 on the cereal. It's my go-to after dinner snack. 
  
  I have not had much of an appetite being sick for so long. There have been several times I suddenly realize I'm starving and my stomach is growling. Hoping to get better at snacking between meals to prevent this. I'm pretty much over all of my aversions and food tastes good, healthy or not. I also pretty much singlehandedly put away a tin of peppermint bark in about a week!

  I just went to a client lunch and ate a sandwich and kale salad. I am appropriately full. So why couldn't I keep my hands off the brownies in the conference room and then eat more candy at my desk? I'm a freaking sugar fiend. Wish me luck on my glucose test tomorrow
