Healthy meals/snack ideas!? What do you eat

Question

I’m struggling to eat good and get exercise/movement in. That is probably the main cause of my quick weight gain during this pregnancy. I have such a bad craving for carbs and junk foods/sugars cookies chips etc😫 that’s mostly what I eat.
Can you ladies give me ideas of what you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks ? :)
To help out with the weight gain
Also if you do any exercise what do you do &
How long/how often?

Answer

I'm not super healthy but here are a few things I eat regularly.
Breakfast (I usually don't feel to great in the mornings so I eat whatever I can and it's usually carbs)- coffee & water, half a bagel, breakfast bar, an egg with toast
Lunch - usually dinner leftovers, salad, cheese & crackers
Dinner (I try to make most from scratch) - frozen cauliflower crust veggie pizza (when I need an easy night), grilled chicken & salad, chicken stir fry, jambalaya, tortilla soup, chicken & potatoes, steak & strawberry salad, some kind of pasta with sauce (I have a friend who makes it from scratch so we buy it from him), Mexican style chicken salad
Snacks - fruit salad (I find if I make a fruit salad I'm more likely to eat fruit), veggies & dip, string cheese, chocolate rice cakes with peanut butter, yogurt, sometimes whatever snack my daughter is eating like goldfish
Once or twice a week we splurge with dinner & order take out or make something to satisfy my cravings

Answer

My usual eating during the week-
Breakfast - Coffee with skim milk and Apple cinnamon oat bar
Snack 1 - fruit (usually apple and grapes)
Lunch chicken avocado Mayo wholemeal sandwhich or salad.
Snack 2 - mixed nuts or gluten free nut bar or Greek yogurt with g/f granola and honey
Dinner - changed everyday but usually protein veg and rice or pasta dish, or meat veg and potato dish.

Answer

Admittedly I don’t eat 100% healthy but I have been making a few swaps lately. 
Used to have bagels when I felt crappy for breakfast, last month or two though I have old fashioned oats with peanut butter and fruit (banana, strawberries or blueberries) 
Lunch I try to have a salad with heated up grilled chicken (Purdue has short cuts already made).. I add nuts (pecans or almonds), onions tomato cheese arugula and a balsamic 
Dinner isn’t always my healthiest but we do a lot of crockpots. Stews and Chili’s. 
I don’t drink soda or anything sugary, water and seltzer only. 
I’ve been snacking on clementines and these! Easy to make an healthier at least than the straight up chocolate I usually want!

Answer

I am not 100% healthy eater, I do love chips but usually for breakfast I’ll have coffee, yogurt with fruit with toast. Snack is protein bar or wheat thins with string cheese. Lunch is variety, toasted PB&J, avocado toast with fruit, veggies with ranch or fruit with cottage cheese. Dinner is a wide variety, my husband and I don’t like the eat the same thing for dinner so it’s always different. I do drink a lot of water throughout the day.
