What to eat!

Question

So today I went to see the dietician. I have GD and was given a chart on how many carbs to eat at each meal and snack. I cant seem to come up with any meal plan ideas. I don’t want to eat the same thing over and over. 
Do you have any breakfast/snack/dinner ideas that are low carb?

Answer

Unprocessed foods are best! Eggs, sausage, cheese fiber wraps; Eggs and sausage mixed together! I do lots of eggs, bacon, and sausage Lunches I do cheese and lunch meat wraps! I actually ordered a chicken sandwich from McDonald’s and put it on my low carb Hugh fiber wrap minus the bread! It was amazing with way less carbs! Haha! Problem is I go so low carb that I ended up in ketosis, so I am trying to add some good carbs in!!

Answer

Fiber one bars. Nutri grain bars(apple,strawberry,blueberry,etc) check cereal. Almond milk. Alot of water. Ginger ale. Small portions of white or wheat rice. Beans. You can eat anything as long as you portion it. Stay away from bread. You can have sausage egg n cheese wraps. Chicken Cesar wraps. Yogurts. Salads. Grilled chicken. Fish once a week. Fruit salads. Veggie platters. Granola bars with fruit and yogurt. Etc. There's a bunch of different kinds of food you can eat. Think of this as a diet. That's what I do.

Answer

Look up whole 30 recipes online. I never counted anything, or limited positions of what I ate, I just chose good food. For my breads I ate sprouted grain and brown rice pasta. My numbers were rarely over 100 after meals.

Answer

I found a no/grain granola which is only 14% carbs. Great with Greek yoghurt. For snacks some of the paleo type crackers, paleo bread and cream cheese, nuts or protein cookies. I just check the per 100g carbs on everything and if it is below 25% it’s all good. Also pork cracking and a lot of the keto snacks are also fine.

Answer

I’ve been eating Greek yogurt for breakfast. Found this thin wheat bread that only has 24 grams of carbs for two pieces so made homemade chicken salad (just chicken, mayo, and celery) for sandwiches. Sometimes put chicken salad on salad as well. Salad with salmon. Chicken with vegetables.  My favorite healthy grain recently has been farro. I still eat fruit but mostly stick to berries and small apples. I eat a bunch of vegetable. Cucumbers and peppers I love raw with a tiny bit of ranch. I like cauliflower, broccoli, love zucchini! I’ll slice the zucchini and sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. Cottage cheese, string cheese, wheat thins, nuts, peanut butter on celery. Yasso bars can be a yummy treat (it’s frozen Greek yogurt). My favorite kind so far is the salted caramel one! Tonight I am having chicken that has some seasoning, garlic, lemon juice, and chicken broth. It’s easy to make and cooks in he crock pot all day. Then I just will have broccoli and farro with that. Also you can go to chipotle if you get a bowl and brown rice or something. Probably stay away from the beans. You can go online and look up the nutrition for the meal you are wanting. I have also gotten salmon at a few restaurants. And chicken piccata at a restaurant. If restaurants have their nutrition online you can check that before going and pick which meal and sides you might want. I have had mashed potatoes and two different restaurants with vegetables and salmon and my numbers have been totally fine afterwards! It’s definitely a pain and a lot of planning to find food options and variety, but I was surprised by how much I can still eat!!

Answer

Also, once a week, don't hesitate to splurge out and go out to eat that grinder, burger, pizza. You're pregnant not a prisoner!!! You're gonna be fine if it is once a week. My doctor even told me so. You're pregnant. You're gonna have cravings!!!
