How do you guys eat healthy?

Question

I’m struggling with my eating habits! Everything I want or sounds good isn’t healthy! (Fast food, sweets, etc) I just know I need to eat healthy but my eating habits haven’t always been great either but I want to start eating better for the baby and also to feel better mentally and physically! What do you guys do to fit in your fruits and veggies?

Answer

Ummm...the first 12 weeks and the last 2 weeks are all about survival. Second time mama here. I lost 7 lbs in my first trimester because I can barely eat. My doc isn’t even stressed about it. He said just eat the few things you can stomach and on days when you’re better, be good. I always pack fruits and vegetables and I make a plant based protein smoothie with green juice for breakfast. If I want a grilled cheese bc everything else is gross, I have it. You’ll be fine.

Answer

Idk girl. I don’t want veggies they literally make me gag

Answer

Carbs carbs and more carbs for me. As long as I take my prenatals I’m not that worried. I’ll get in my fruit and veggies at least once a day but it’s all about the carbs right now. 😂

Answer

Chicken nuggets and ice cream. It's all I can stomach some days.
Now that I'm getting to my second trimester though I'm trying to get better. I'm reading a book that encourages eating only "real" food (ie eggs, beans, nuts, chicken, vegetables instead of like protein bars) and it's motivating me to get a little more adventurous.

Answer

Honestly I don't in the first trimester. Sounds bad but I have to eat what stays down, which this pregnancy is pasta and bread. Just figured out I can have apples so there's that!
Last pregnancy the ONLY things that didn't come immediately back up were mcdonalds Big Mac and pizza with only pepperoni so I am much happier this time with my options. 
I should be able to get back to more healthy options after the vomitting stops.

Answer

Same here... feeling sick unless I have something heavy that fills me up. Usually bagels, pasta, rice, nothing too healthy...
Ready for the first trimester to be done!

Answer

When im craving sweets i will normally eat some fruit or yogurt, i usually don't eat alot of fast food so if i crave it i will get it. I will however eat sweets occasionally too. But i would say as long as you're not having unusual cravings like paint chips then eat whatever your craving!

Answer

As long as you try your best to balance out your diet than you should be fine. Also  if you like eating out just try exploring other items usually all places have a healthier selection, for instance I ate the egg white delight at McDonald's for the longest and ita actually really good! I love scrambled eggs, fruit, toast with preserves, oatmeal, and veggies I love string beans with added potatoes and I add a strip of bacon in it for flavor lol. Just play around with things! Good luck!

Answer

I make purées with spinach or leafy greens (like kale) masked by sweet fruit like pineapple, mango, bananas, strawberries. 
It’s super easy. 4 bananas, half a pineapple, 2 cups of frozen strawberries, and 1 lb of spinach all go in the the blender, blend until smooth, and then divide equally among 4 pint jars. Freeze ‘em, pull them out whenever you need more produce that day. (Usually I take them to work and they keep my lunch cold while they thaw 😂) 
It takes me about half an hour to make 8 individual purées, which lasts me about 2 weeks. It’s not 100% of my fruits and veggies per day, but every jar contains about 3 servings of fruit and 1 leafy green veggie, so they really help. Plus, with all the fruit, they taste delicious. 
In general, I eat healthy by making huge batches of healthy stuff (carrot ginger soup, black bean burgers, veggie-heavy minestrone, ratatouille, bean soups) and freezing it in individual portions for later. I’ll literally quadruple soup recipes so that I can squirrel it away. It’s... a little neurotic, but investing a few hours to cook on the weekends means I can just pull things of out the freezer during the week and still be eating healthy (and cheap).

Answer

I work at subway at home I just eat normally what I do but at work I try to keep to eating veggies subs with no cheese on white bread with certain sauces to keep vegan and extra spinach for iron as my prenantals don't have iron in them.  
I'm trying have hubby by me my favorite veggies and fruit to snack when I'm craving to just eat something.
There's no drinking pop this pregnancy as last that's all I drank. 
I try to stay away from my sweet craving but do indulge in them a few times a week. But last time i ate them multiple times a day 😂
Bound to be healthier this time around.
