What's a typical day of eating like for you?
I'm curious how everyone is with their eating habits during pregnancy, esp 2nd and 3rd trimester. Mostly trying to gage my own to see if I'm pretty average with my eating habits or if I'm totally unhealthy.
I was a lot healthier before pregnancy and ate so much less. Now the hunger pangs and headaches get so bad I eat more often and/or more food than before.
Average day for me:
Breakfast: big bowl of healthyish cereal or oatmeal + almond milk, sometimes I'll also have a couple pieces of whole wheat bread and jam, sometimes peanut butter. And sometimes I put mini chocolate chips in my cereal 😳☺️
By 11am most days I'm starving already, so in 2nd trimester id eat a croissant or some trail mix around this time. 3rd trimester I can hold out until lunch hour at 2.
Lunch: lately Ive been eating a few crackers with slices of cheese on them, some almonds, a few berries, and a bagel. Sometimes a treat for lunch too. Like a candy bar or trail mix with m&ms.
If I'm off work by 5 I'll eat a protein bar (ok sometimes two) or a snack if I'm going to the gym (just walking & elliptical)
If I don't go to the gym or am off work at 7, I'll eat dinner which ranges... Depending on if my hubby made food or if I'm making it. I always make worse food cause I'm impatient.
Dinner: 2 homemade burritos with whole wheat tortilla, black beans, corn, salsa, etc. and usually some snack food too. If we have junk in the house I will eat some. Sometimes I'll say screw it and eat Taco Bell burritos or a chick fil a meal or a breakfast burrito loaded with ham, cheese, and eggs (lately this is prob once every 2 weeks, first two trimesters I did this a lot more)
Evening snack: cereal, fruit, candy, whatever sounds good...
I've had my days of eating 5 mini cupcakes in one sitting or a whole container of chicken salad but those days are def not the norm for me. I also have had weeks where Ive gone out to lunch almost everyday with someone but I've slowed that down a lot.
If you don't want to write a novel like I did, could you tell me how often you eat out at fast food or restaurants and how often you indulge in sweets/candy?
