What are you eating to be healthy?

Question

I’ve been trying to eat better for baby. I’ve heard that avocado is really good, and so is salmon. I’ve also read that nuts and spinach are good. 
What have you been eating to stay healthy for baby?

Answer

Happy to pass along lots of ideas.
Atkins protein drinks, Dave’s Killer thin slice 21 whole grain bread, Dave’s Killer whole grain English muffins, eggs, stevia sweetener and almond milk or half and half for my coffee, and flavored sparkling waters are my pantry staples. Here are some of the things I consume most of:
Eggs with salsa or hot sauce, and cheese. Avocados: plain, or with Trader Joe’s everything but the bagel seasoning, or on toast. Chorizo mixed with bell peppers, onions, cheese and salsa on top of eggs. Smoked salmon with cream cheese on top of an English muffin. Mediterranean or Italian wraps on Flatout brand wraps; things I like to use: baked chicken sliced thin or pepperoni/salami, sliced mozzarella, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, red onion, butter lettuce or 50/50 mix, and for condiments: hummus, oil/vinegar, or Italian vinaigrette; squeeze of a lemon makes them nice too). We tend to make stews and chili’s in the fall/winter and one bowl of that never hurts; you can definitely make healthy versions of them.
I also eat buttloads of yogurt (the healthy kinds). It’s nice to put fruit and granola on them sometimes too. Gotta be careful with granola, though- some have tons of sugar so read your labels. Strawberries or blueberries depending on my mood. Apple slices with peanut butter used to be my jam until peanut butter spiked my blood sugar, so now I just do plain apple slices. Diced baked sweet potatoes with oil/salt/pepper and dipped in sugar free ketchup kicks ass. Deli sandwiches with honey maple turkey and Dijon mustard also don’t suck (I know they say don’t eat cold cuts but whatever, 32w later my baby is kicking as we type). Baby carrots and bell peppers with hummus.
For occasional sweet treats: coconut milk vanilla ice cream with no added sugar or Halo brands are friendlier than most things.
Oh! And Kodiak pancake/waffle mix is awesome because it has lots of protein. You can use maple syrup or honey, peanut butter with honey, various jams, fruit and whipped cream, etc. I can’t have them anymore because of my GD but all things considered, they’re good occasionally I totally recommend them.

Nothing terribly different from my regular diet. Lots of fresh produce, lean meats (chicken, turkey, lean cuts of Steak, etc) lots of filling carbs like rice and sweet potatoes, plenty of avocado and a moderate amount of dairy. Of course, enjoying a few treats on occasion :)

Answer

I’ve been eating oranges and having grilled chicken salads for lunch with tomatoes and cucumbers etc. I have eggs in the morning and put red and green peppers In (that’s my norm anyway)
