Right now I'm eating ice chips but even those taste weird (WTF!?!). Trying to figure out what to eat (while taking into account my 23 food allergies) is so painful I just want to cry all day long.

Tonight we're having prime rib cooked sous vide, and mashed cauliflower. God, I hope the nausea stays away so I can enjoy this.
And the best part of cooking sous vide is that it's completely safe to cook the prime rib medium rare. The sous vide holds the roast at the set temperature for hours, so any germs are killed through pasteurization. Yay for steak that isn't overcooked!
Ramen noodles! I was feeling awful this morning but then I ate some ramen and felt better. Honestly, it’s whatever sounds good at the moment. Sometimes I feel like Phoebe from Friends when she was pregnant and couldn’t find anything to eat.

Thanks for the sympathy, guys. It totally does suck. I've been sick most of my life and didn't find out it was food allergies until 10 years ago in my mid-20's. I miss eating so many things!
ETA: Right now I'm mainly living off raw carrots, broccoli, cucumber, fresh berries and red meat.

@DLpanda08 peppers and almond butter is interesting! I’ve been so off veggies, even though I usually love them. I hate feeling like I’m not eating healthy. Today I bought baby bell peppers that I’m going to try stuffing with tuna salad. @tosh24 even with those restrictions you’re still eating way better foods than I am!
I am eating a lot of fresh fruit. My weight gain was a bit crazy last pregnancy (which I never fully recovered from), so trying to eat clean this pregnancy. That being said, I will eat all the BBQ and queso! Gotta love living in Texas.
A whole bunch of carbs. I generally eat pretty close to paleo, but carbs are calling my name and boy, am I answering. I haven't eaten gluten in about a year, but I have been having some bites here and there and it is proving to be a poor decision. The amount of bloating is insane.
If this is anything like my last pregnancy, I will eat complete garbage during the first trimester then reign it in for the 2nd and 3rd. I gained 50 lbs my last pregnancy even though I was eating well, but I dropped 45 of it within 4 months postpartum. I'm a few years older this time, though, so I'm hoping it works out as well as it did last time.
A fruit salad of mangoes, strawberries, and pineapple. I've stopped eating DH's amazing weekend brunch cooking of eggs, turkey sausage, and potatoes and switched to Raisin Bran for my nausea and a bout of severe constipation. I'm sorry everyone in the world who ever had constipation that I didn't take seriously before I got pregnant. It is no joke.
Tamales!!!!! I'm craving chicken tamales from the tamale place i love, with hatch Chilis, sour cream, guac oh man, my mouth is watering. The pressure I'm putting on DH is mounting.
I made bacon yesterday and it was the best ever! Also, I'm really craving pineapple again. I ate a pineapple every day when I was pregnant with ds and really messed up my teeth so I need to make sure to not get too crazy again.
@ladystout08 I had fritos last night and a lime lacroix, basically exactly your picture and it was soooo good. The combo was spot on! Refreshing and crispy.
I really like sandwiches! Anything I can munch on. I'm not a huge fan of sweets anymore. Interesting because pre-pregnancy was the total opposite (sweet not savory). I do still like fruit though thankfully. Like @snackheart, not into veggies anymore but forcing myself to eat them anyway. Bleh.
I could eat a toasted english muffin with butter and jelly on it for every single meal and be happy. And Starbucks frapuccinos! (with almond milk no whip)
I ended up ordering chicken noodle soup at lunch. Can’t go wrong, right? Wrong.
It was the weirdest chicken noodle soup ever. It didn’t have noodles; just a few spoonfuls of orzo. And it was full of veggies—not just the normal ones like carrots and celery, but also bell peppers and potatoes.
I want butter chicken for dinner today. It’s more tomato based than anything so I’m hoping DD can eat some too bc DH has a late night company event today. Indian take out is bold right now esp given my extra sensitivity to smells but butter chicken is doable.
