What can I put in my sandwiches? HELP!!!

Question

Ladies, I need help! Please!!! 
My husband and I will be traveling for 2 days (moving) and I was planning what to eat on the road! Don't really want to stop at fast food or restaurants, I want to prepare something from home, healthier and saves me a lot of money! Also, since I am almost 15 weeks pregnant, I want to be careful with what I eat! 
I want to put in containers some fruit, almonds, phistachio, and make some sandwiches with a little mayo or cream cheese, lettuce, slices of cucumber or tomato and ...protein! I am tired of chicken/chicken breast as I have been eating it A LOT! 
So, what can I put in it? 
Smoked ham or smoked turkey is it THAT BAD??? I never eat them so it would be for a day or two a few sandwiches! I am talking about DELI MEAT!!!!
Thank you in advanse! ❤

Answer

Although it's maybe not the 'healthiest' option (unless you go for a good brand and check the ingredients; low sugar, low salt etc), peanut butter might be a better option. It stores well in a cooler, full of protien, and does not have the listeria risk. It also should not set you off if you're having morning sickness. You don't even have to put it in the sandwich right away, just take the jar and a plastic knife, and spread it when you're about to eat it. Also, if you find you do need to eat more, it's easy to make another sandwich up from any available bread.

During my first-mid 2nd trimesters, peanut butter was a life saver for me, as I was really struggling to eat enough protien, as meat was making me sick. I took a jar with me on a 6 hour car journey, as the only food on the way was either fast food or spicy food; both which made me really sick!

Answer

Deli meat is fine to eat hun. Risk of listeria is so low.

Answer

Hope this gives you some ease from the CDC. In 2014, there were 3.9 million babies born and 93 cases of Listeria while pregnant. It's highly unlikely dear. Get yourself a turkey sammich 😉

Answer

Smoked meat isn't recommended during pregnancy.  Mayo and cold cuts will not travel well over 48 hours.  They need to be kept at 41°F max. They will grow bacteria including Listeria which is dangerous for your child.

Answer

Try not to overanalyze ☺️ 
How about PB&Js? You could pack the ingredients separately so your bread doesn't get soggy and PB is a good source of protein!

Answer

Some cheese or a bit of home made egg salad could be nice as well?

Answer

You have a higher risk of issues with deli meat since you are traveling with it for two days. Bacteria is more likely to grow If the meat isn't kept at the right temp. There are other great options for protein, like peanut butter and you don't risk anything. :)  If you have issues with morning sickness, you're more likely to have issues with the deli meat too. Enjoy the move!

Answer

You get use deli meat. You just have to microwave it then you can refrigerate it. That's what my doctor said

Answer

I lived  on cold subs when I was pregnant, that and fruit was all I craved I think you'll be fine, too!

Answer

Sandwich meat is fine. Don't worry over it.
